Stumbled across this photo. "Wire Maintenance Line at 177th St - Bronx, NY - 9/40 Car#401"
I guess as the name implies ... it was used to maintain/inspect catenary ??
What railroad is that?
Thanks
Jim

SEPTA (Philly) has a wire train, stationed at Lansdale.

If it's in The Bronx, It would have to be the New Haven. The support tower at the left is a giveaway.

That car belongs to the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway. It was a heavy rail, fast electric railroad that ran from Harlem River in the Bronx with a mainline to White Plains and a branch to Port Chester that hugged the New Haven line. It was also a subsidiary of the New Haven Railroad.
