New York Subway Equipment
Q-Type

Q-Type

The Q-Type were made for the 1938 World's Fair. They were actually former elevated "gate" cars. They enclosed the open vestibules and installed sliding doors to "modernize" the cars. The Q-type rode out their days on the Myrtle Ave El in downtown Brooklyn until that El was closed in the late 1960's.

Three cars are seen at the Dock Yards of the SBRR. they look in bad shape. (8/26/01 dig.)	Another view along side a BMT Tri-plex on a railfan tour. The Q cars were last used in work service. (8/26/01 dig.)
Interior of these cars, as you can see they are not in great shape, but apparently they are delaying scrapping them (8/26/01 dig.)
