Public Service Freight Motor         
Image was captured by Richard H. Young of Clifton NJ. Per his notes, "Public Service Coordinated Transport freight motor #5218 rests on a siding in the Hackensack Car Yard two days before abandonment of the Hudson River Line." That being said, this trolley looks exactly like the Line Cars in the book "Public Service Railway Bergen Division" by Sennstrom and Francis, and I don't know of any freight on the Hudson River Line, so I believe that this is a 5400 series Line Car and would have later been numbered in the 5400-5419 block. I cannot explain the numbering discrepency.
