OERHS Equipment Roster
Seattle Trolley Bus
#648

Built in 1944 by Pullman

seatb.jpg (42425 bytes)This is a new addition to our roster. It arrived at the museum September of 2000. It is a cousin to our other Seattle trolley bus # 604, except that it is younger by a different builder and slightly longer. The photo to the left shows the two coaches side by side.

seatb648_02.jpg (43959 bytes)This is a close-up view of the front of the coach to the right. As you can see the bus is in tact. There is some rust and such, but it is about 90% complete. The interior is missing some of the seat handles. 

seatb648_01.jpg (42857 bytes)The rear of the bus to the left demonstrates the twin trolley poles for current collection. The bus is in need of a lot of electrical work before it may run again. sea-etb648-10.jpg (84793 bytes) Apparently when the bus was retired, a good portion of the wiring was cut, and what is not cut has worn insulation. But will a little effort, this bus could run again.
