A few companies used heavier center entrance cars for faster suburban runs. One of these was the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company, whose No. 62 came from a 1923 Brill order shared by West Chester and several other traction companies in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. No. 62 and its sisters operated throughout the life of the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company, a consolidation of the West Chester and several other roads. When Red Arrow Lines, as the company was popularly known, was sold to a public agency in 1971, Company President Merritt Taylor, Jr., kindly retained No. 62, restored it to its original maroon livery, and donated it to the museum.
