It is nice to see that the powers that be are willing to invest in keeping these 85 year old cars in operating condition. I hope that the set of tri-plex cars currently in the East NY Yard will operate again. In the meantime what has been done is to operate the three standard cars with the other a set of the tri-plex cars that are usually kept in the Coney Island yard to make a nice six car train. Bill Wall explained to me what it took to get these six cars train-lined so that they can operate together. Back in 2002 we had a trip that included the three car set of tri-plex cars that are in the transit museum to make a nice nine car train.
