Interurban Express Motor #330 is the oldest rail car of its kind in North Texas. It was actually once painted Pullman Green, but the rail cars were repainted bright orange after several accidents involving rail cars.
The rail car ran the electrified rails of North Texas from 1902-1934 on the Fort Worth-Dallas and Fort Worth-Cleburne interurban lines. The freight/express rail car carried everything from ice cream to coffins. Interurban service between Fort Worth and Cleburne ended in April 1931 because with progress came good roads, vehicles, and bus lines. Rail Car #330 returned to the Fort-Worth Dallas line where it hauled freight until December 1934 when that line also ceased to operate.
