Comments:  No. 330 was one of the 2nd series of  41 Fuller "Standard" cars built by Portland Railway in 1901.  Original number was 130.  Like the other Fullers, it was a three compartment trolley with large "smoker" vestibules.

No. 330 became somewhat unique in 1912 when it was rebuilt with an extra door at each end for PAYE (pay as you enter) boarding.  The design may not have been successful, because it was not repeated in any of the other Fuller cars.

Retirement:  1933.

Technical Notes:   Rebuilt to one-man operation in 1921 or 1922.
