Notes
- Only PA-class cars are in passenger service, all others
retired. PA-class cars 694, 726, 754, 761, 765, 768 dedicated to work service.
- The train abandoned at the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001
consisted of cars: 845, 139, 143, 612, 750, 160, 745. They were
removed by truck/barge to Staten Island for decontamination and
stripped of usuable parts. Since then, 143 and 745 were moved to the
storage hangar at JFK Airport where WTC debris is being examined.
- PA1-PA3 class cars are 51'8", painted aluminum bodies, two doors
per side
- PA4 class cars are 51'8", stainless steel bodies, three doors
per side
- "MP"-class cars were owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad and used
in the H&M/PRR Joint Service between Hudson Terminal and
Newark. The service was jointly operated from 1911 to
1961.
- MP51/K-class cars 1200, 1201, 1202, 1230, 1231, 1233 sold to SEPTA
for their trucks; installed under Market-Frankford "Almond Joy" cars
for use on the standard-guage Norristown Line; car bodies sunk near
Point Pleasant, NJ to create an artificial
fishing reef.
- MP51/K-class cars 1211, 1213, 1228 involved in an accident
involving a PRR diesel switcher near Harrison on 7/24/1963 (2
fatalities, 28 injuries). Cars scrapped.
- MP51/K-class cars 1237, 1238 converted into motorized flat cars.
- Notes on rebuilt "Black" cars: Coincident with the deliveries of the 50 MP41/K
cars, H&M did a mini-rehab to some cars, ranging from simple new flooring
installation, new doors and metal-framed window sash to installing an
air-conditioning unit at the end of one car (439) and completely new sides
with elliptical window casings to one car (407). Some had updated lighting.
In 1962, after PATH took over service, six of these cars were painted blue
and kept together as a single train, ostensibly to garner passenger opinion
toward spec'ing a new fleet. This train ran intact until 1966--principally
in Hudson Terminal/Journal Square service--when new PA-1s bumped then into
work service, where at least four of them, including 407 and unrebuilt 501,
lasted for at least another 10 years.
The "Blue Train" consisted of cars 501 (unrebuilt)-472-407 (new sides and
window treatments)-516-438-439 (a/c). Except for 501, which retained its
double-pane doors (like the IRT), all had square single-pane door windows
and single-sash end door windows. 439 was kept at one end of the train as
its air-conditioning unit occupied what was a vestibule doorway.
Other cars which got rebuilt included 408, 445, 447, 502 and
511. They were
mixed indiscriminately in trains consisting of other classes of "Black
Fleet" cars. Ultimately, all of the rebuilt cars, including 407, were
scrapped. Peter Ehrlich.
