During the heyday of the trolley car era, every street railway had its fleet of work equipment. un-glamorous vehicles for the most part, used in carrying out construction and maintenance projects. No. 2016. a double-truck motor flat car. was built in 1912 by the Boston Elevated Railway. and is shown at the Seashore Trolley Museum's Arundel station. The small derrick has a capacity of one ton, and is useful for handling rails, trucks, motors and other parts falling within the weight limit.
