Boston Elevated Ry. 5821 and Boston Elevated Ry. Tower C at Seashore Trolley Museum

In 1954, Seashore acquired Boston Elevated Railway No. 5821, a Brill car from the 1924 lot. In 1959, Seashore acquired Boston Elevated No. 5734 which is very similar to No. 5821 but without the ?vision front,? as it appears here. Seashore totally rebuilt No. 5821 between 1978 and 1980, with much of the underframe and all of the side sheeting replaced. The car received a further overhaul in 2012. The only surviving ?vision front? Type 5 is now a workhorse at Seashore. As of September 2016, No. 5821 has been in regular operation. Also pictured are Tower C, and in the reflection, Connecticut open car 303.
