Posted by Jan K. Lorenzen on Sat Mar 17 16:54:23 2007, in response to Re: Breaking News: MBTA Green Line Boeing LRVs -- *FINAL DAY*, posted by Dan Lawrence on Fri Mar 16 23:59:54 2007. I have a similar photo of an yet un-renumbered TCRT car in transition to a Shaker MU car in the TCRT colors with the coupler installed, no MU button boxes yet, new bumper bolts from the structural enhancements, front ad car sign yanked off, big TCRT bronze wheel. Pretty cool shot!The Cleveland Transit PCC's and Shaker Heights PCC's were two separate operations and management. The GE MU equipment that was originally destined for Baltimore's post war order (that got cancelled) ended up on the Shaker ex-TCRT cars. That is the story I have gotten from a couple of sources in MD and MN - all of whom could very well be wrong, as all this happened 55-60 years ago. The Cleveland Transit Pullmans were fitted to be MU, as Cleveland had plans for a streetcar subway downtown, but the couplers and some of the other bits was not installed at delivery. The TTC did retrofit the missing parts. All the ex-CTS cars were Westinghouse, as was the MU parts fitted onto those cars. |
