Posted by randyo on Mon Feb 13 18:04:11 2006, in response to Re: Fulton Street El Express Service, posted by JOE @ NYCTMG - NYCMTS on Mon Feb 13 11:02:56 2006. Since you seem to be very familiar with these Lo-V Manhattan cars, I have few questions if you don't mind. Was the controller handle a large brass C-6 type as on the Hi-Vs and flivvers or the smaller type as founnd on the standard steel Lo-Vs? The only reason I am asking these questions is that during my TA career, I worked with several "el men" some of whom actually started with the IRT Co. before city takeover and whenever I mentioned the Lo-V el cars, they insisted that the only Lo-V cars on the els were the composites (or "coppersides" as they preferred to call them) and everything else on the el was Hi-V. Are there any photos of the M/M cabs and controls in these cars? By the way, one of these el men told me that a train of MUDCs was equipped with electro-pneumatic brakes (whether AMUE or AMCE he didn't say). Have you any information on this? Thank yo in advance for any information you may be able to provide, and I would imagine that I am not the only railfan who would be interested in this information. |
