IRT sized cars were state of the art for railroad coaches as evidenced by the fact that the LIRR MP41s were dimensionally identical to the IRT Gibbs carsIsn't that a bit of circular reasoning? The MP41's were designed at about the same time as the IRT. One counter argument is that the Brooklyn Bridge was specifically designed to handle Pullman cars (after several design changes). One idea was that it would connect with the Hudson RR terminal at Chambers St. The Bridge cable cars were 10 feet wide, as were Sands St and Park Row. |
