Third Ave Railway 629- World Traveller P6100136
The Shore Line Trolley Museum at Branford, Connecticut has an amazing collection of New York City transit equipment, including this Third Ave. Railway car that was a real world traveller. From the museum website:
The most modern car in our regular fleet, car 629 was home-built by the Third Avenue Railway from pieces of older cars in 1939. It ran in Manhattan and the Bronx, before being sold for post-WWII operation in Vienna, Austria as part of the Marshall Plan. After being retired in the 1960s, the museum acquired it in 1967, and it ran on our line for three years as Vienna 4239 before being restored to its original appearance as Third Avenue 629 in 1970.
