Posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Fri Dec 1 20:04:05 2017, in response to Re: Nighttime Shot of 3rd Ave El at 67th Street (1953), posted by VictorM on Fri Dec 1 10:42:55 2017. Hello Victor MRandy-O explained the two car type differences quite adequately. I well remember standing at the storm door window on the enclosed MUDC vestibule platform, and seeing behind me to my right, the M/M thru his inner cab window operating the train. The Q types I recalled being different from the MUDC's, as I stood by the storm door window. The M/M and his cab door was now to my right with the M/M inside his relocated cab on the now enclosed end front vestibule platform Here are two photos below to visually show you the difference.
