Tuscarora Almanac - December 15, 1956 - The Book of First and Last Runs


At 12:01 AM the first train of Steinway motor cars was placed in service on the 3rd Avenue El in The Bronx. The consist was composed of 4757,5642,4700,4716,5638,4768.

December 15, 1956 was a Saturday so it would seems that the entire fleet of about eleven trains was replaced in one day. This would not have been difficult as on a Saturday only about four train-sets were needed to cover the service.

The last train of IRT “elevated” cars consisted of MUDC motor cars;. 1795,1793,1754,1778,1761,1780.

ERA Headlights Jan 1957
