| Comments: This was the first series of new standard
gauge PAYE cars, and was ordered around the same time as narrow gauge PAYE's
466-485. The new series followed directly on the heels of No's 1001-1016,
but were 7 feet longer, and much heavier, than their non-PAYE predecessors.
PRL&P liked these new suburban cars well enough to add another car
in 1910 by remodeling one of the earlier series, No. 1010, into a PAYE
type. Like 1001-1015, the new PAYE's were equipped with multiple
unit controls, and were designed to operate in two car trains. They
were used on the Mt. Scott and Sellwood Lines.
Retirement: 1940 (during April and May)
Technical Notes:
Received train gates in 1915.
The body of No. 1019 was damaged by fire June, 1909, but returned to
service Dec. 26th of that same year.
Shown with 4 GE-70 motors in 1922 field check, except perhaps for No.
1016.
All rebuilt to one-man operation in 1927.
During 1927 rebuild cars 1016, 1019 & 1020 received 14 cross-type
seats. |
