The Brill Corporation and American Car & Foundry Motors Co. were merged by vote of the directors at a specially called
board meeting in July 1944, forming the ACF-Brill Motors Co. All trolley coach production was centered at the Brill plant in
Philadelphia. During the World War II many a significiant number of orders were received from the overloaded trainsit
companies all around the country and the serial trolley coach production was started in May 1945 with seven coaches for
Des Moines Railway Co. The post-war design was called TC-44 and it was very similar to pre-war 44-SMT model, the
main difference was a sloped front windshield to reduce a night glare. At total, between May 1945 and May 1947, 375

design of TC-44 models was improved, the canvas roof was changed to metal on the last deliveries, but the fully revised
model with the same name was introduced in 1947; 310 coaches of second seried were built until July 1948.
