According to the NYCTA specs and the notes say this about #1575...General Note: Car wrecked 1946. Rebuilt to simulate future R-10 type car body. Underframe, trucks & equipment generally the same, but superstructure is new - of welded construction. Delivered 6-30-1947. I believe what the photos that may have been circulated around where the test mock-ups placed on the older IND cars instead. However, the car body on #1575 is a brand new one built from the ground up. -William A. Padron ["Sheet No. 8A, 402-2001-C"] |
