The cars have proved very satisfactoryin service in this respect and are capable of withstanding. Hudson & Manhattan Steel Car—Platform Framing without serious damage shocks which would totally destroycars of ordinary design. The floor plan of the new cars is similar to the first carsbuilt for this railroad. Longitudinal seats only are built on each side of the aisle between the end bulkheads and thecenter side door openings. These seats are formed ofsteel frames with fire-proofed canvas-lined rattan backsand cushions.

These par-titions reduce surging of passengers during accelerationwhen the car is on a heavy grade. The platforms are entirely enclosed and a motormanscab is provided at the right-hand side on each end.
