Brooklyn & Queens Transit

8000 series Peter Witts

 

Thanks to a large number of friends, I have builder information on these cars which were the backbone of the system in later years.

8000 thru 8099 were built by Brill in 1923.

8100 thru 8199 were built by St. Louis Car in 1923, #1310. 8100 thru 8157 and 8186 were designated as "Speed Cars".  8111 was acquired by Branford Trolley Museum in 1952.

8200 thru 8299 were built by St. Louis in 1925.

8300 thru 8449 were built by Brill in 1925, #22610.  8361 was acquired by Trolley Museum of New York in 1955

8450 thru 8534 were built by Osgood-Bradley in 1925. 8500 thru 8534 were "Speed Cars" and were converted to single end operation. They had a turnstile and treadle operated center door retrofitted. They could not be operated in revenue service as double enders, but controls remained in the number 2 end for shop and service moves. They were just as fast as the speed 8100s, but lacked an air gong which all the speed 8100s had.
