Thanks, so they weren't Comet I cars.How many of these cars were built? When were they built? And is there such a thing as a C2? |

The C1's were made with same parts, seats lights etc as the m1/m3.The cars were 32 volt control and 480 volt HEP, the 10 cars were actually 5 maried pairs with each two cars connected with a drawbar and MU style N2a couplers at outside of the pair. They were hauled by 3 FL-9ac's with N2a couplers on rear and with translator electronics to swich commands from 32 volt to 74 volt locomotive control. The cars were only accessible from High level platforms |

Good luck nobody unless you got unlimited $$$ can get SPV's to run.Only the FRA's T-10 ran for years but probably the budget was a government secret. |

Dont confuse the PATH (a railroad) with PA of NY & NY.The Porth Authority Trans Hudson is a railroad the PA of NY & NY is a managing agency that reaps profits from harbors and airports but spends it on transportation infrastructure. |
