Diminutive four-wheeler No. 134 sees frequent service at the Seashore Trolley Museum when the weather is not suitable for the big open cars normally operated daily during the summer. Built in Japan in 1911, it ran in Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagasaki (Japan) before being donated to the museum by the Nagasaki Electric Tramway Co., Ltd., in 1960. Its seating accomodations are limited, but there's plenty of room for standees. "World's Oldest and Largest Electric Railway Museum."
