The Tidewater's three interurban passenger cars were identical copies of a popular Jewett design.  The railroad was unusual in that it never owned a "pure" passenger interurban.  All three of the TS' passenger cars were combines with good sized LCL and baggage space.

In 1979, car 200 was rescued from a field near Hatch, where it had sat with car 202 for over 35 years, by members of the Bay Area Electric Railway Association.  It was moved to the Western Railway Museum at Rio Vista Jct. where is still rests in a carbarn, waiting to be restored.
