Unlike the C-1, 0925 was originally a Market Street Railway car. Smallwood's "White Front Cars of San Francisco" doesn't give exact dates, but it was on the roster in 1921 and was "gone by the early 1950s." Note the knuckle coupler--it's primary job was switching the SP interchange at Elkton, as in the photo where's it's towing a flatcar with a newly-delivered PCC.
