I know, this is a Fallen Trolley posting. Due to what is happening I am also posting here for more coverage. Get your photos!

While going to work this morning, I noticed that the New Jersey Public Service Trolley Trailer that has for many years been used as a yard office for a construction company in Union, NJ is being dismantled. As of this morning, the metal car body appears intact but has been gutted out. The car body, located in the construction yard, can be easily seen from east bound Rt.22 just past the Rahway Valley RR crossing near the landmark "flagship" store. It is about 75 feet off the south sie of the highway and alongside the R.V.R.R. right of way. I was told many years ago that this car is a trailer that was hauled by a trolley to increase capicity during rush hours.
Does any one have more detail on this car's history?
