>>Suspect that 1613 original B2 was placed back under the car when the experimental B3s were removed in the early 1950s.       Car rode quite hard  --  motormen disliked it  --  bolster swing snubber may have contributed to this.       After cutback in 1953, 16s Only used in rush hour tripper service, never all day service.
