Dallas Railway & Terminal Co. 434 at Seashore Trolley Museum

#434 rides on four axles like most streetcars of this size, but only two of those axles are powered. Thus the trucks (wheel assemblies) are cleverly designed to throw three-fourths of the weight of the car on its powered axles to improve the ability of its motors to power the car in a wide variety of circumstances.
