I read in a book about the NY Transit System about how these Low-V

something like this.


That was probably Stan Fischler's _The Subway: a Trip through Time on
New York's Rapid Transit_
(earlier editions published as _Uptown, Downtown_.

The cars were kept out of sight on the Dyre Avenue line in The Bronx.
