"The ACMU's were a different species totally, not compatible with anything pre-war, the LIRR cars, or the Washboards"Thats an excellent point. The zip cars of the LIRR were designed to MU with the oldest equiptment that they had on the road at the time. NYC ACMUs were to run amongst themselves never intending to mate with any of their pre war equiptment. In hindsight, maybe the LIRR did the right thing having any equiptment pre M-1 run together. Made for intersting consists to say the least. |
