Built by J.G. Brill in 1904 for the Portland Railway Company with motors and brakes especially designed for the steep Portland Heights Line, converted to buses in 1950. It is now at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum in Brooks, Oregon.
A heritage operation using replicas of these cars was begun in 1991 in Portland and currently operates along a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) section of Portland's MAX Light Rail system, on the transit mall in downtown Portland, from Union Station to Portland State University.
