Car 1225 is from the second set of cars leased in 1925-26. The cars had been a part of a rebuilding program at the CRC to stem the growing number of lawsuits brought by riders who had paid their fares and were then injured trying to climb the steps to the seating platforms while the cars were in motion. To alleviate this problem CRC moved the center platform up to floor level and placed the steps at the doors leading up to it. The Conductor’s station was located between the steps at street level. In addition, the cars were equipped with multiple unit couplers which were not compatible with those on the earlier cars.

1225 was restored at Trolleyville after its retirement from the Shaker and was used for many years on their Columbia Park & Southwestern demonstration line.  The car was acquired by the Museum in 2009.
