To my knowledge for the 1940-50 timeframe the gas-electric and trailer was the M-I’s sole passenger equipment. I’ve seen other shots of MPL lettered gas-electrics on the M-I of the same class as in the photos.
Carbodies were green (some state Pullman green but I’ve not seen a paint chip) with black roofs with Delux gold lettering. There’s a color shot in Joe Collias Mopac color book of one of the MPL 650 cars. One of trailers seen in the photos survived as a storage unit at least into the 1970’s being used by the local street department in Ste. Genevieve but was later sadly scrapped.
