In 1962, LIRR acquired this car, converted it to a 49 seat snack bar
coach and renumbered it as LIRR 8553. Archive: Jack Deasy |
In
1958-1959, LIRR acquired 30 coaches from Boston & Maine. These were
84 seat coaches. Sixteen of the thirty were rebuilt to 117 seat coaches.
Fourteen of the thirty were rebuilt with stationary bars, which reduced
seating capacity from 33 to 82 depending on the car.
