I'm pretty sure that's an old Metroliner car that was given a streamlined cab/nose. It's definantly American, you can see an Amfleet car next to it. Any more info on this unit and what happened to it?

These are very ugly.

Briana, the third pic is the SOAC, or the State Of the Art Cars. They were some high tech cars which served as a kind of prototype. I don't know what became of them, but the cars were pretty nice as compared to some of the units on NYCTA at the time.

Actually, the second train (the JNR express) is one of my favorite conventional trains. I want one in TRS.
You'll have to guess which one I mean. Some people hate it when you quote a picture.

the CTA obtained some SOAC cars as well.

Here is a gallery of the CTA ones:

Personally I like them; I think they fit in very well with the Art-Deco feel Chicago & NYC had at the time.

Aparently they are at the seashore trolley museum.

Actually it's the early version of the SPV2000 that was overhauled and now runs on the Merto-North.

Personally I think that the Broad Street Line cars in my City, Philadelphia, Are the hideous piece of work I have to ride on when I go to school.


Also state of the art cars. Philly had them in the 70's for the BSL.

I would rather ride on these than the huge metalic pieces of junk we have now.
Oh yeah , Back in 74' they had these too.

And these were still around in 84 from what I can see

[David111767]

Where the heck are the cylinders?

They are actually between the wheels.

Alot of engines in europe were like this.

[uptight]That is a typical European Steam train and I would thank you for removing your post on them![/uptight]

Joke, okay?
