Posted by Trainman on Sun Feb 18 19:59:58 2018, in response to Re: BMT coal delivery car, posted by Dan on Tue Feb 13 11:32:48 2018. Dan, I don't know the specific date that electric heaters replaced the pot belly stoves. According to other members on Sub Chat, the coal delivery car was still on the roster in 1961 as a hopper and in 1965 was renumbered and listed as a flat car. John Lindsay was elected Mayor of New York City in 1965. He was always speaking of the evils of fossil fuels, meaning coal. I think that the stoves were gone before he was elected but I could be wrong. The pot belly stoves certainly made the waiting rooms much warmer then the electric heaters. Trainman, Bob. |
