IOW, they weren't clones.The MP75 was an update to the MP72 and MP70T, were Westinghouse and Pullman-Standard. (The MP75 then lead to the Comet-I). The MP75's were built in Chicago, the prior cars in Osgood-Bradley plant in Worcester, and all MP54-compatible. They were more like the NH Washboards, if you look at the interior appointments and Westinghouse controllers. You can also think of the Washboards as fore-runners of the MP72, and successors to the American Flyer cars. The ACMU's were a different species totally, not compatible with anything pre-war, the LIRR cars, or the Washboards, were built by GE and either St Louis or Pullman. |
