Harry Posted February 9, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 9, 2008 NYCTA (NYCT) mechanics will always fondly remember these cars as the "money" cars. This nickname has to do with all the the overtime spent trying to repair these cars equipped with the notorious GE propulsion equipment. What car is it?

R68 Subway Car Posted February 10, 2008 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2008 I will also guess that it is the R16GE (6400-6499). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted February 10, 2008 I'm going to take a shot and say the R 16's. The correct answer is the R16s. It should be noted that later GE improved its performance record by providing very reliable propulsion equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share #22 Posted February 14, 2008 R17 or R21? I forgot to give Andrew slight credit because the R17 and R21 did use the same propulsion equipment but they were not called the "money" cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
