The problem with the BMT steels was that the BMT tunnels were actually designed for 60 ft cars so when the design was adapted to provide for a 67 ft car, the trucks had to be relocated which caused a long end excess on the cars. That is why the bulkhead doors on the steels had to be locked between cars. A 60 ft car allowed for passage between cars which is why it was considered the ideal length for a rapid transit car. |
