You are correct, Cousin Larry! Although it was a lightweight steel design, which could have been used on subway or old el lines, the BRT decided not to order any more of them. They felt that the end doorways and platforms were too narrow for heavy usage, such as rush hours. unlike the IRT, the BRT also wanted future cars without end vestibule doors, like the Standards, "C"-types, etc. |
