Very interesting share Julio!

Ahem...

 

When that "Instruction Car" was built the IRT did not even exist yet (IRT was founded in 1902)! That should read Manhattan Elevated Instruction Car

Yup, the H&M car was used to tow the Mineola car out of the barn.

It was nice meeting you, though. (I was the only one asking about the guest op on the 11-ish trip out using the New Orleans car)
