The BRT/BMT and Manhattan els did not have typical car lengths because some routes were less patronized than others. Also, there were different train lengths for non-rush and rush hours. The Broadway Ferry shuttle used a single ex-Boston vestibule car #998 in the off hours. Mike: Car 998 never ran in Boston. The Transit Development Corporation (BRT) wanted to test a steel car on el service. The Pressed Steel Car Company had just completed an order for the Boston Elevated Railway. They built one more car for the BRT. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
