20 at the Beach Park car house.
Photo was likely in 1937 or 38 as the headlight is mounted low, a result, I think of a PUCO or some kind of ruling to enhance a motorist's ability to see the car better, or to light the street better.
Anyhow, old as they were, a few Barneys evidently were operating at the end, probably in local service, here and there. 20 was been double ended, and that I think was done very late while LSE's petition to abandon was in the mill, but they had to retain service to and from Norwalk where the line was cut to install an underpass under a railroad. So one of the 60's and a Barney were converted at that late date for double ended duty and ran until the end I think. LSE would create a car for a job if need be.
