The Niles Car barn bus belonged to the Mahoning Valley Electric Railway Co. It was used to take the "track-walkers" out to remote areas, where they would walk along the tracks with a bucket of sand.
Water car- most roads were dirt and this car was used to water down roadway along streetcar tracks to fulfill safety regulations in effect in the 1890's and 1900's and to keep down dust since during dry weather any traffic caused clouds of dust.
The car barns were located on the west side of Mosquito Creek just above the dam. The entrance to the barns was off Robbins Avenue.
