7202, a center-entrance trailer, behind a Type 4 car, the usual lash-up when these cars were in service. Twelve trailers lasted into the WW 2 era and ended up in use at Suffolk Downs. Most were scrapped in 1934-37. The lines these were used on was Waverly--Arlington Center--via Harvard, Charles River-Arborway and out of Clarendon Hill. These cars were built by Kuhlman Car Co., Brill and Laconia. Identical cars were operated in Baltimore.
