Picture is of an old Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) streetcar work truck. The upper platform is wood, so electricians can work on the 600 volt wires live. Notice the siren? I posted another picture a long time ago of a similar truck, with the siren clearly noticeable. Got some inquiries out on some railfan sites to see what the logic is.
My guess, it's a Federal 78. Philly Fire used these a lot in the 50s and 60s.
