Connecticut Co. 1160 (New Haven) at Seashore Trolley Museum

No. 1160 was a very early "off the shelf" design used by several builders for small orders. The smaller systems could not afford to design their own individual streetcar. These plain but sturdy and cheaper models were thus very popular, especially in New England. This one was built by Stephenson of New York in 1906 for a predecessor of the Connecticut Company, which operated most of the state's streetcars.
