Hi everybody,
I am interested in the early NYC Subway cars and I would like to ask you, whether you could tell me the fate/remaining of one special subway car, in fact of car number 3398 (Gibbs HI-V motor, 1904). I think it ran in the back of another train on 22 August 1938 and wrecked. Maybe you could tell me, if this car was written off after this accident. I have read about an explosion and a fire after the collision. Moreover they treated the wreck with acetylene torches, so I like to think, that the motor car 3398 was wrecked after this collision, but maybe somebody here can give me a concrete answer. I would be quite grateful for that.
