WB&A Trailor #207

            Washington Baltimore & Annapolis Electric Railroad trailer #207 is at the road's Bladen Street Yard in Annapolis, MD, May 30, 1934. By the end of the year, the 1929 Brill built trailer would be transformed (along with it's brethren) from trailer to interurban trolley to be used in high speed service between Washington & Baltimore operating on the fastest schedule the WB&A would ever experience. The schedule would sadly be short lived for an unexplained de-railment/re-railment happened at speed on a switch frog on the mainline somewhere that so alarmed management, the cars were immediately withdrawn from service pending investigation into the incident-an investigation which would never come as the WB&A lost it's tax exempt status in spring of 1935 causing the directors to immediately place the railroad up for sale as scrap. The newly formed Baltimore & Annapolis purchased the "200s", as they were known, and regeared them for local service on what used to be the North Shore Division where they continued to work for another 14 and a half years, succumbing to the publicly funded roadway system and it's buses on February 4, 1950. 

Photographer is unknown. B&W 616 negative.

Taken on: May 30, 1934
