Besides their age, the Composites were retired and stripped of their trucks because they required someone to operate the manual end doors, similar to the gate cars. More of an economy measure. Correct?Because the Board of Transportation did not know what ridership would be on the Polo Grounds shuttle, it had the IRT send 5 Three-car trains of Composites down the South Ferry Spur and up the 9th Ave el, to Jerome Ave, on June 10th, 1940. |
