60 spent life in Chico. There is a note that says it was also fitted with a third rail shoe. Chico had wire though. I suspect the 600 wire is there, we just can't see it in the EBAY image.
The SNRR ordered two new Birney Safety Cars from American Car Company of St. Louis. Numbers 60 and 61 were completed on order 1143 in late September 1918 and delivered in early October. The 10-ton cars rode on Brill 78M trucks equipped with roller bearings, and were powered by General Electric 68 motors.
