Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunkport, Maine
One of 405 center-entrance motor cars purchased by the Boston Elevated Railway between 1917 and 1920, Seashore's No. 6270 was built by the Kuhlman Car Company of Cleveland, Ohio in 1918 and was last operated in 1952. These cars, which had a seating capacity of 56 but could carry another 100 as standees, were notable for their ability to handle large crowds on the subway and surface routes of the Boston system. Three hundred, of which 6270 was one, were equipped for operation in two or three car trains.
