MP70
The Long Island MP70 "double deckers", having high and low seats with only one level of flooring, unlike today's C3 "bi-levels", with two actual floors, were first produced in 1937, 3 cars were delivered with the balance delivered between 1947 and 1949, and only lasted into the late 60's to early 70's. They were not popular with the women passengers or the conductors. These were "MU" cars running on third rail power. Today, only the original car delivered, no. 200, survives in Riverhead, it was the first all aluminum car produced and is 8 feet shorter than any other MP70.
