During the heyday of the trolley car era, every street railway had its fleet of work equipment, unglamorous vehicles for the most part, used in carrying out construction and maintenance projects. No. 2016, a double-truck motor flat car, was built in 1912 by the Boston Elevated Railway, and is shown at the Seashore Trolley Museum's Arundel station. The small derrick has a capacity of one ton, and is useful for handling rails, trucks, motors, and other parts falling within the weight limit.
