This was the first Streetcar we saw when we entered the Halton County Radial Railway Museum on Saturday. The condition of the car indicates that it has been sitting outside for many years at the mercy of the weather. Only the doors have the original paint left on them, as the rest has rusted off the body. The doors were locked, and the interior of the car was gutted. HCRR seems to have no plans on restoration, though their website indicates they did at some point.
The original photo of this car when it was delivered to HCRR can be found here www.hcry.org/collection_1947_4386.html

My car is limping, Dolores Haze,
And the last long lap is the hardest,
And I shall be dumped where the weed decays,
And the rest is rust and stardust.
