  I remember seeing this car on the daily rush hour trains of 1200s during the late 1940s-early 1950s. I noticed that it had a wheel-type trolley, as did the other Butterfly Twelves which would show up on the tripper. I later learned that this was so these cars could run on the Newport Beach line, where the trolley greaser did not venture.
  I also noted the oval art-glass window, which was presumably for the restroom. Since the Monrovia-Glendora line was the only part of the PE I was familiar with, I marveled at the thought of a Red Car trip long enough to require a “head” as the sailors call it.
