Long time fan of subways, Philadelphia born and raised. Been looking through NYCsubway.com, which I look at once a week or so. A question on some of the subway work cars, as to their purpose.
R123 Continuous Welded Rail Car. What is the Weld Car?
R161 and R71 Rider Car. Used to carry maintenance crews?
R65 Pump cars
R71 reach cars. Working on the ceiling?
R74 Signal Supply cars
Rail Adhesion cars
Tank cars.
OF116 Obsrvation Car. Early track geometry car?
The others shown on the website are pretty much explanatory.
