Fresh from the paint line at Roseville, 2628 takes the curve in front of the First Presbyterian Church at West Orange center. Note snow on the roof. The original design for the cars included glass clerestory windows, but snow removal efforts smashed too many and leakage was a major problem. |
Solid panels soon replaced the glass. Here, windows are open to summer breeze and 2628 starts inbound run at the loop on Mississippi Avenue in West Orange, 1942. |
