One of twelve very modern lightweight high-speed interurbans bought second-hand from the defunct Cincanniti and Lake Erie Railroad, coach-lounge "Red Devil" #1020 was one of seven lounge cars in the order (the others were straight coaches). The motorman's side door was cut in by the LVT. The front trolley pole was added to allow reverse running. The third rail shoes were added for running on the Philadelphia and Western track south of Norristown. It is seen here in front of the Lehigh Valley Transit Depot Ticket Office at 8th and Hamilton in downtown Allentown. |
