Posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Fri Dec 30 16:24:30 2022, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] The East Bronx IRT Crash of 1957, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Fri Dec 30 14:04:09 2022. Hello LarryThat could be a fact --- being as Low-Voltage control started with the 1915 Subway Steinway Low-V cars -- so it could be likely that the Low-V EL Cars were actually built new as Hi-V Cars. Or perhaps built new as Low-V's to test out the Low-V Control systems in advance for a few years before deciding on building 1915 and later IRT steel subway cars with Low-Voltage controls. The IRT Manhattan Elevated Division shop list I have is vague on WHEN the IRT EL cars became Low-V (if delivered new or converted later in 1920's). But at this late date, it really doesn't matter. Gene's book has a number of known errors in it (well, most books do, heh) -- but thanks for the info and clarification. Regards - Joe F |
