Here's a special photo: it isn't every day you see a streetcar smile. This is Ex-Shaker Heights Rapid Transit 4662, formerly Toronto Transportation Commission 4662, originally built by Pullman in 1946 as Cleveland Transit System 4237.
Its many years enduring the Toronto salt has resulted in an extremely weak structure.
Seen here on May 29 2001, and having been stored on a farm near Buckeye Lake OH for about 15 years at that point, 4662 is - for all intents and purposes - unsalvageable.
