It's not so much a matter of incompatibility as it was poor operating quality when the 2 equipments were mixed. BMT Multis were split between WH and GE and while occasional mixed trains of GE and WH units were operated, mixed trains bucked like Georgia mules. On NYCT I never noticed any operating differences between all cars of one electrical equipment and mixed trains. When NYCT cars were GOHed, not only did the cars have different electrical equipments but brake equipments were split between WABCO and NYAB and cars with both types of brake equipments were operated in the same trains although the NYCT didn't seem to want to operate mixed trains of R-62s and 62As and R-68s and 68As which had the same mix of brakes and on the R-62s electrical equipment although they could me mixed for shop moves. |
