The open-air cars have their origins in a series of St. Charles Car Co. cars that were purchased in 1893 by the Salt Lake & Los Angeles, predecessor of the SLG&W. The cars were rebuilt in the SLG&Ws shops in 1922, utilizing the trucks and hardware, but using new frames from the American Bridge Company and replacing the wood. The clerestory roofs were modified as simpler Harriman-style dome roofs. The rebuilt cars were numbered in the series 301 through 313. They were equipped with air brakes and train lines, which allowed multiple-unit operation when sandwiched between two closed powered cars. They had no lights, and many who rode the cars at night likened the experience to the tunnel of love due to the slow speed of the train and festive atmosphere of the resort goers. |
