The "Oddball" prototypes of the "C" cars (1500 & 1501) were actually built in late 1920 at the Coney Island yards. In January & February of 1921, they were tested on the Broadway-Brooklyn line and had subway running lights for use in the Centre St subway. After testing, they were returned to Coney Island, where modifications for the rest of them were made. These included different side doors with windows that resembled the proposed Triplexes, interior brake wheels, and all steel ends. The oddball ends had been built with external brake wheels and wood and steel ends. |
