Maybe you can help me.Someone gave me a pair of handles years ago. One is a steel-looking brake handle, and the other is a brass master controller handle with a brown plastic top, apparently with a dead man feature. I *believe* they belong to the BU cars (donor walked into my office, put them on my desk, and walked out, lol). Any ideas? Is this the equipment they told us about in B-1 School Car where the brake handle and master controller positions were reversed, and BMT motormen would operate with their hands/wrists/arms crossed? I also picked up a set of keys in the J line crew room when they were above a store front at Sutphin Blvd.,IIRC. One is clearly labeled B.R.T., about an inch and a half long, steelish quality; another is brass and a little over an inch long; the last (3 copies) appears to be a door key, and a forerunner of the R-key. Again, any ideas? TIA. |
