They were winter tested on the B'way-B'klyn/Canarsie line from the end of January to March of 1922. They had subway running lights because they ran over the WillyB to Canal Street. After that, they were returned to the Coney Island shops. After some design changes (most notably the doors!), the rest of the fleet was built. I do remember seeing 1501 at Eastern Parkway, so it must have been a weekend trip I took with my great-aunt, during school Christmas vacation in late December, 1955. It was different than the rest of the "C" cars. Only took me 50 years to find out all about the "C's". |
