In addition to a city headlight an interurban style arc light was mounted at night. All the cars were crewed by a motorman and conductor. No. 42 was converted about 1925 to one-man operation and folding steps. However, the car remained double-ended to the end of operations. No pilots or fenders were used but all cars had retractable scrapers in front of each wheel to help clear snow and ice.
Some pictures show the cars carrying small snow plows.
The line had another type of car but not much is known about them. The roof line on these cars was deck style rather than the monitor style of the Kuhlmans. HTC's Electric Rotary plow The HTC also operated an electrically powered rotary snow plow, somewhat unusual for a trolley line but understandable in an area where snowfalls are measured in feet rather than inches. In order to combat ice build up on streets, the HTC installed a homemade ice cutter under a flat car and this was towed by one of the streetcars. Copper Country Archives photo.
