I think the MTA has decided that a 60ft car for divisions that can accept it is the right size for a rapid transit car on the NYCTS. Sometime in the early 1950s there was an article that appeared in ERA Headlights written if I recall by Sidney H.Bingham who was the head of the B of T at the time that mentioned that after careful research and experimentation, it was determined that 60 ft was the optimal length for a rapid transit car operating on the NYCTS. |
