Frank pointed me to the on-line photo collection of the Columbus Metropolitan Library, which Matthew Gustafson discovered and which has a collection of several thousand railroad-related images focusing on Ohio, including electric lines. There are about 300 dealing with the Lake Shore Electric, including three of the 150 in particular, which I will add to the car's history.
Motorman's cab for the 150. Note the spittoon, an amenity that IRM refuses to provide its volunteers.

At the Beach Park carbarn.
Freight trailer 810 at Sandusky. It looks just like this today!
All of these photos are evidently in the public domain, and we thank the Columbus Metropolitan Library for making these available. It's a tremendous resource.

These look like photos from Bob Lorenz, who I assume is deceased by now. I bought a copy of the 810 photo for George Clark back in the 90s, and I have a nearly-identical print of the 150 control position photo as well.
