The Bluebird photo is 8000. The way to tell is if you look close you will see theat it has no H2C coupler. It seems that the here is no coupler at all. But if you look real close you will see that it actually ha 2 couplers. The shaft assembly was shaped in a V. It swung out to either side of the car. The right side had a small knuckle coupler head and a the left side had a male end that would mate with the female end of a Van Dorn coupler. This set of Bluebirds was mainly used on the Fulton Street El.
Now take a look at the photo's of the Green Hornet and the Zephyr in the previous Photos. They were in service on the Fulton Street El. They had no couplers at all. If there was a problem link bars needed to be used.
