train of Brooklyn Union elevated cars circa 1907 belonging to the New
York Transit Museum collection. These venerable cars, which had been
rebuilt into "Q-Type" cars in the 1930s, were rebuilt back to their
original appearance by employees of the Coney Island Overhaul
Shop. They operated several trips for charity in the summer of 2004,
seen here heading north of 215th Street on the IRT West Side
line. Photo by David Pirmann. |
