#88, from a group of second hand cars. This car had an interesting history, according to John Merriken's Every Hour on the Hour. It was one of a group of five car bodies purchased from St. Louis Car Company in 1918 (they were built 10 years earlier for the  St. Louis, Monte Sano & Southern but never purchased by that road). The WB&A added trucks, motors, hardware and eventually Tomlinson Tightlock automatic couplers.
In 1934 all but # 88 were stripped of their electrical equipment and wiring, demotored, and thence used as trailers. The equipment and motors were used to motorize the Brill 200-series steel trailers, most of which survived to run on the B&A till abandonment in 1950.
