Coopersville & Marne
The car in this photo is Grand Rapids Grand Haven & Muskegon #8, an extremely historic interurban car built by Barney & Smith in 1902.  The GRGH&M was a third-rail line in western Michigan from which #8 is the only survivor; #8 is also the only extant car with the open rear platform that was typical of many very early Midwestern interurban cars.  The car has been resided and repainted by its current owner, the Coopersville Historical Society & Museum in Coopersville, Michigan; the car is on display next to the interurban substation.
