Hello ELKEEPERIf you fully read my (long) post about the Composites (re: question as to why were they removed from service) -- you would have seen this same fact (Below) already mentioned by me in my historical recitation... ===================================================================== Copy-paste-quoted ...." (1) -- Therefore, strict rule: NO TWO MOTOR CARS could be coupled together with both Motor trucks facing each other ! (2) -- Therefore, on the West Side IRT 6th & 9th Ave. EL's, all Elevated Motor Car "motor trucks" were at the SOUTH-facing end of each motor car; (3) -- And on the East Side IRT EL's, all motor trucks were at the NORTH-facing end of each motor car;....." ===================================================================== And yes, correct for the Forney Steam Locos - (Cab-first or Tender-first running) but near the end of steam year 1902 I think that positioning was a crap shoot, heh regards - Joe F |
