2185 was built by St Louis Car in July 1948, Order #1666. It was rebuilt in May 1984 and sold to the East Troy Electric Ry in November 1994.
On October 23, 1975, SEPTA lost the Woodland Car House to fire. This left them with a shortage of cars, and they turned to Toronto Transportation Commission for replacements. They purchased a number of former Birmingham Electric Co cars which had been built by Pullman in 1947 and sold to Toronto in 1853. SEPTA only activated 19 of them. Bill Volkmer gives us a list of the renumbering. The first number is the Birmingham number. The second is the Toronto number, and the third is the Philadelphia number. 806-4706-2300, 807-4707-2301, 809-4709-2302, 810-4710-2303, 811-4711-2304, 818-4718-2305, 824-4724-2306, 826-4726-2307, 827-4727-2308, 828-4728-2309, 829-4729-2310, 830-4730-2311, 831-4731-2312, 832-4732-2313, 834-4734-2314, 840-4740-2315, 841-4741-2316, 844-4744-2317, and 846-4746-2318. They were not liked in Philadelphia and had a very short life when the last of the lines they served were abandoned by 1981.
