Actually, the current PATH stock is the same length as IRT cars. From what I read, the Red McAdoo cars WERE 51 feet long. The H&M BLACK CARS were 48 or 49 feet long...like Manhattan El cars...Current PA4 cars are 51 feet long. PA car length and other info here Maybe they had a different designation because the "red Mcadoos" had three doors instead of two. the number after "MP" doesn't really mean anything, except for SOME cars, it coincides with the passenger floor space in feet. For instance, did MP72s have 72 foot long passenger space? What about MP 85s???They didn't have 85 feet of passenger room... or length. |
