101 was built by Niles Car Co in 1906. It was scrapped in 1941.
The first cars built for the Philadelphia and Western RR
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. The San Francisco fire and earthquake of April 18, 1906 left the
United Railroads short of cars. President Pat Calhoun of
the URR went east to several car builders looking for any available cars. Sixteen cars (12 motors and 4 trailers) went to the URR of San Francisco. The other six cars were sent to Erie RR's Rochester Division where they became 3100 to 3105. While the cars were en route to San Francisco, the 4 trailers were sold to the Northern Electric (predecessor of the Sacramento Northern).
The four trailers that went to the Northern Electric were numbered 250 to 253
and used as trailers until 1912. They were then rebuilt in the Chico shops as
combination passenger/baggage motor cars and were renumbered 106 to 109.

Key System renumbered the car as 495 when it was purchased from Hyman-Michaels Co., a scrap dealer, in March, 1942.
