With the opening of the bridge railway, the key system put into service the bridge unit trains. These were articulated units styled in a quite modern fashion (though mostly rebuilt from older equipment). They were very hansome looking in their original orange and silver livery. When the Key System was acquired by the infamous National City Lines in the late 40's, they were re-painted green and yellow, which made them look rather shit. Pic related is a restored bridge unit sporting its original-style livery.
The IER and SN kept using more standard interurban-style cars.
