The basic appearance of the snow sweeper did not change appreciably in the two decades separating the manufacture of M37 and this car. But there were significant structural improvements to this later model, such as the steel frame that supports the body.
This car was delivered to the Beaver Valley Traction Company, headquartered in New Brighton and having the same parent company as Pittsburgh Railways, as Beaver Valley #1. It was identical to six cars purchased by Pittsburgh Railways at the same time, and came to Pittsburgh after the Beaver Valley line closed down in the 1930s. It is the only piece of surviving equipment from that company.
