Car 2052, pictured at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport ME, was built by the Wason Manufacturing Company in 1927. Acquired second hand from the Springfield (MA) Street Railway Company, the car went into service in Montreal in February 1941 after heavy modifications. These cars worked on all one-man routes in the city except the very steep Westmount and Côté des Neiges routes because of their 35HP Westinghouse motors.
