That is Shaker Heights Rapid Transit 27. Originally and currently it was Cleveland Railways 1227.  It is currently at the Seashore Trolley Musuem in Kennebunkport, Maine. Seashore is the third museum to own the car. It was originally purchased by National Capital Trolley Museum. Seashore restored the car and it currently operational.  

Thanks so much for the history on this car.  It's good to hear that it has been restored and operational.  A closer inspection of the picture I posted shows some of the shop buildings in the background that once existed on the former NKP property.  Most of the yard tracks are gone along with all the shop buildings, roundhouse and turntable and the overhead walk bridge.  Not much left anymore.
