W.B.:

In a way, it's a good thing that the "stoa" Old Looks were retired when they were, given that "da Bronx" was then hitting the skids big time.....I shudder to think of them running up there, several years later....it would NOT be pretty......... Sad

Question......

Did the MTA ever consider purchasing "Dangerfields" to replace the El trains upin "da Bronx", or splitting the order with "Gee-em"?

Just wondering.............

W.B.:

Thanks for the info.

Recall, now, the nearly 900 "Dangerfields" purchased by the NJDOT in the later 70s; I've often wondered, had this order been placed several years earlier, would said order have gone to "Gee-Em"?

Interesting to think about..........

Further:

"Pee-es", not surprisingly, obviously had NO interest in purchasing "Dangerfield", the total opposite of the "See-Tee-Yay".

Had "Pee-es" rostered "Dangerfields", I can easly see them painted in the green that adorned the (transit) Fishbowl fleet, back in those days............
