It was "Standards", because of their similarity to SIRT cars.The FRA did not permit it. I don't know how a train of those low horsepower cars that couldn't run over 39MPH be useful anywhere except the West Hempstead Scoot, and even that. That was because a few dozen 1908-1913-built MP54's that were not rebuilt in the 1950's yet survived the 1955 & 1963 Pullman Standard onslaughts were still running and falling apart. I have vague memories of a bunch of Pennsy MP54's sitting on the Mail siding west of Jamaica in the mid-1960's. They may have found some parts useful, which Ronan likely junked. |
