8000 series Peter Witts
8450-8534
8450 thru 8534 were built by Osgood-Bradley in 1925. 8500 thru 8534 were "Speed Cars" and were converted to single end operation. They had a turnstile and treadle operated center door retrofitted. They could not be operated in revenue service as double enders, but controls remained in the number 2 end for shop and service moves. They were just as fast as the speed 8100s, but lacked an air gong which all the speed 8100s had.

Choose Life.
Mom did.
Do your realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you -- for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart.
---St. Therese of Lisieux
