Remarks: There is conflicting data on how long 1000 was in service. It has been suspected that it was removed from service in 1914 as it was not successful. However, a newspaper article quotes a motorman that he ran the car until about 1920. B.J. Kern’s records show it was OS 2/27/1923 and destroyed December 1923.
