They were once electric MU cars that were demotored, and made into just regular coaches. They had M1-M3 style seats, which were probably added in the 70's, and they had sort of a red carpet on the walls. They were rolling disasters, but man where they the sh*t.....especially riding outside in low platform territory in the open vestibules. The closest thing you could get to the BU cars in modern times. I can't believe it's almost 10 years since they are gone....I can now know how the older guys must have felt when the gate cars were retired in 1969. |
