Archived images of the Wason deck-roof type car body of HSR car #144, likely an identical model to HSR car #182 seen here. These photos were originally hosted on Photobucket under username Ham549, and are of the only known surviving example of Holyoke Street Railway rail livery. This car, still having at least one bumper, is missing its trucks, and was likely made prior to 1915 as referenced by an entry in The Street Railway Bulletin. It is unknown if these trucks would have been made by the Brill Company or another supplier, though if it was constructed after 1906, that hardware would have likely been present. To the degree that the car was manufactured by Wason may be debatable, as the frame seems consistent with the Laconia Car Co's 1916 frames for the Holyoke Street Railway Co.As of uploading, this example is known to be stored in Holyoke's "The Wherehouse" banquet hall, and is under the possession of its owner James Curran. It is unknown if Mr. Curran has any of the other parts of this car stored separately.
