Also, recently I saw a set with 4 300 series. Is it just me, or do you not normally see to many 300s on the North Side.
Also, did any 1300s ever exist?
Aren't control cars more valuable / in demand than plain coaches? Maybe the controls were worn out/unreliable or obsolete.MBTA3247 wrote:RenegadeMonster wrote:Pretty sure I have seen 3 or 4 1600 series on a 7 car set recently. Only, pretty sure a few of them had their controls deactivated.

The 1300s were Pullman-built control cars. They were rebuilt into blind cars 245-258.

From the OL platform at Sullivan just yesterday I saw the set, and it was all bilevels, no 16xx cab.
