1547 on the 49 Beltzhoover awaits leaving time on Gearing at Chalfont. The first 1547 was diverted directly to Twin Cities Rapid Transit from St. Louis Car. The second 1547 was delivered with trucks for the 1601-series cars and thus had drum brakes. Cars 1500-1504 were converted to drums by PRCo.

The second 1547 was delivered with trucks for the 1601-series cars and thus had drum brakes. Cars 1500-1504 were converted to drums by PRCo. To keep drums in a group, 1547-2 swapped numbers with 1505--which became 1547-3!
