Mitchell
Mitchell Street & Interurban Railway
It is a 20 passenger Fairbanks-Morse gas-mechanical railcar with a Sheffield body and a 30 hp. motor.  It was built by F-M sometime between 1906 and 1909 (my guess is closer to 1909), and was one of two such cars delivered to the Caldwell Traction in Caldwell, Idaho about 1910.  When that 7-mile line was electrified in 1913, one of the cars was sold to the Lewistown Terminal, in Lewistown, Idaho, where it went into service in December, 1913. That little line failed quickly, and the car was reportedly sold again, in 1915, to the Mitchell Street & Interurban Ry.
