MTA 55 |
| Description: |
When I was first in New York City, the one time I was in the subway without my camera was the time a diesel powered work train passed by. Of all the bad luck! (Although it was on the wrong track.) Five months later, I was back, and after getting off a subway train at Borough Hall in Brooklyn, we were winding around the tunnels for the exit closest to our destination and turned the corner to discover - a diesel powered work train! I could not believe that Id stumbled upon this again, and this time with camera in hand. MTA 55 is a 45-ton GE diesel, one of six R-41 class diesels built from December 1967 through February 1968. We exited here to go to the MTAs museum, whose collection includes - ironically - another of these diminutive GEs (in that case, a 35-tonner)! |
