The last for now of our look at the now-vanished Oshawa Railway electric line, we find OR line car 45, used for overhead maintenance work on the electric catenary wire, parked behind 44 halfway up the line south of the shops. This car was built in 1925 by the Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto Railway, another CN Electric Lines operation, and was transferred to the Oshawa Railway where it worked until the line was de-electrified in 1964. CN donated it in 1964, and it is now restored and in operating condition at the Halton County Radial Railway museum in Rockwood ON.
