Built by St. Louis Car in 1968 as PRR MP85E6 "Arrow I" electric MUs purchased by New Jersey Department of Transportation for high speed Northeast Corridor service between New York and Trenton, these were among the few all stainless cars built by St. Louis Car along with SEPTA's SIlverliner IIIs (unlike the R38-R44 series built with carbon-based alloy with external stainless sheetmetal). The Arrow I cars were mothballed in 1979-80 and converted to push-pull cabs and trailer coaches by Morrison Knudsen in 1987-1988. The State of California (Caltrans) purchased 14 cars in 2008 that were rebuilt in 2013-14 and now operate on the San Joaquin line. This article was written by Mr. Kevin Wong Larry, RedbirdR33 |
