461 at the Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal loop on July 10 1947. One of the last rebuildings done to the Standards, this is a type BF car.
The BFs and the BGs (which had two rear doors on each side) were the last of the Standards.
The final modernization included treadle operated rear doors and air operated front doors, both sets with folding steps, and lifeguards in place of those magnificent but cumberson Eclipse fenders.
As was the case with the H classes previously mentioned, white roofs very quickly gave way to tan (sand color) ones.
