Posted by Joe V on Thu Aug 30 19:47:56 2007, in response to Re: WEHT the LIRR GP-38's ?, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Thu Aug 30 09:21:17 2007. The 2900's were pulled by G-5's.Clones in MU service were 2501-2522 (control motors), 2601-2674 (blind motors), 2801-2844 (trailers), all with porthole windows. There were 222 car all told from 1955-56. Think of them as New Haven Washboards without the pantographs, rectifiers and stainless fluting. They were all Pullman Standard, from the Worcester plant and Westinghouse. The 30 1963 World's Fair cars (low roof, square windows) continued with 2525-2536 and 2675-2692. The NJT Comet I was built 7 years laster with similar bodies, but were aluminum. As MU's, they were mixed with double-deckers and all species of MP54's. All except 2801-2844 had to be renumbered into 2700 and 2800's when converted to push pull sicne they were decertified as locomotives. |
