Convertible trolley No. 1706 was built in 1913 for the Toronto Railway Company in Canada. In summer one side's panels were removed, and the longitudinal seats inside were replaced by cross benches, transforming 1706 into a semi-open streetcar. Here, with years of restoration work almost completed, it poses for its portrait (restorer John R. Stevens is at the controls).
