Dobyne III, it was built in 1902 with conventional wooden under-frames, truss rods and Chicago outside wood roofs. There was a door on both ends. A few of this class were on the roster until 1933. Photo is from an unposted image in the collection of the Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society.” Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA Attachments: dummyfile.0.part
