Number 235, a twin to No. 1059, was built by Laconia Car Company. Converted first to a sand car and to a rail grinder in 1935, it came to Seashore from George King, a private collector, in 1967. Cars like these inspired the late Fontaine Fox to create his famous "Toonerville Folks" comic strips and cartoons, which were widely published during the waning years of the trolley era.
