Milwaukee Electric Car 846

Picture


Type: Streetcar
Built: 1920, St. Louis Car Co.
Acquired: 2002
Motors: Four originally, two currently
Length: 45'
Seats: 48
Car 846 was built by the St Louis Car Company in 1920 for the Milwaukee Transport Company. It was modernized for one man operation in 1925 and new light fixtures were added. Treadle doors came later. Milwaukee had their own designs for their streetcars and each class was similar in size and looks. This is an 800 class car which can be identified by the slimmer middle front window and a slight arch to the standee windows. 846 operated over most of the lines including the #10 line which was the last original streetcar line to operate in Wisconsin

In 1958, the car was retired to the Kentucky Railroad Museum and was acquired by the East Troy Railroad Museum in 2002.

There are only five surviving Milwaukee streetcars, and two of them are owned by the East Troy Railroad Museum. We hope to have car 978 restored to operation soon.
