Note: The Cleveland Electric Railway 400 series were SEDT open cars built in two groups: 400-498 (even) by the John Stephenson Car Company (Elizabeth NJ) in 1899, and 401-499 (odd) by the St. Louis Car Company in 1900. They were rebuilt as convertibles in 1904, then most were again rebuilt with closed sides in 1908-1911.
