The consist was composed of 4757, 5642, 4700, 4716, 5638 and 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 and 1780. ERA Headlights / January 1957 Larry, RedbirdR33 |
