Single End 1923-26 Cars

(Scroll down for photos)

PRT had a large group of single end cars built by J. G. Brill in the 1920's. 385 cars, 8000-8384 were delivered in 1923, 100 cars, 8385-8484 were delivered in 1925 and the final 50 cars, 8485-8534 were delivered in 1926. While all of the cars were equipped with sliding center doors and conductor's booths for the "Peter Witt" style of operation, many of the cars utilized a short-lived turnstyle arrangement for one-operation and later had the center doors sealed and operated in the original "Nearside" style with only the front doors used for one-man operation. In 1939 a program was undertaken to modernize the 8000 series fleet. Although rebuilding the entire fleet was planned, only approximately 50% of the 8000's (and 16 of the double end 5200's) were completed when WWII stopped the program. In 1951, 40 of the un-modernized cars were equipped with treadles to operate the center doors, allowing one-man operation using the center doors for exit.
