Posted by Bill Newkirk on Mon Mar 5 05:44:37 2018, in response to Re: G 236 Blower and Fan Car...Re: [PHOTOS] Odd Ball NYC Subway Cars, posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Sun Mar 4 13:22:08 2018. I (the writer) was to represent RTTD (now RTO) on the test (acceptance) run, but I (the writer) had to respond to a train breakdown. A BMT Trainmaster took my place. The 140 left C.I.Yd. and proceeded to Stillwell Ave., then went up the Brighton Line, as far as Kings Highway, N/B Exp Track (A4), where M of W Engineering felt the car's height would not clear under overpasses beyond that point.So Sperry #140 actually did get a chance to run on TA rails. Was there a height restriction because the trucks seem to make the car ride a little higher. Or is that an opitcal illusion ? Bill Newkirk |
