Posted by Edwards! on Tue Mar 25 04:39:15 2014, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac - March 23, 1968 - The Book of First Runs, posted by SelkirkTMO on Tue Mar 25 04:17:04 2014. my pops told me about it..my dad told me the "car people" didn't like what the 40 represented..they wanted a "functional car for POINT A to B service with NONE of that newfangled stuff with bells and whistles..and if it was up to them,every car would look the same. He said..they were forced to go along with the new 44 cars design since some guy made a sink about it in the papers[Either that or get the boot]..and ROCKEFELLER made a big deal about bring the "commuter car feel" to the SECOND AVE SUBWAY to match his plans for the LIRR. Pops was a buff on the down low..and kept up with the scuttlebutt. |
