Redbirds

author: Peter : New York, NY

Two Redbird trains in Manhattan's 72nd Street station in 1999. These two particular cars were a permanently-attached "married couple", in which the car numbered 8900 contained the motor-generator and batteries and the car numbered 8901 contained the air compressor.
