Philadelphia & Western RR
The first cars built for the P&W never ran on the P&W, since the cars were completed before the line was ready to open. Twenty-two wooden electric multiple-unit passenger cars and 2 full-baggage-configured MU's were built for the P&W by the St. Louis Car Co. in 1906. However, due to the San Francisco earthquake 12 of them went to the United RR's of San Francisco, 4 went to the Sacramento Northern RR, and the remainder went to the Erie RR Mt. Morris Branch, where they were modified and rewired for overhead AC operation. The 12 cars that went to URSF had their bulkhead doors sealed and their MU capabilities removed, operating strictly as single-units. The 4 SN cars were converted to combination baggage/passenger cars and used on the Woodland branch. The two baggage cars were accepted by the P&W, where they were turned into line-maintenance cars.
