Remarks & Notes |
A couple of Budd-ies line the shop tracks at Hillside Support Facility.
LI 9837 is part of what would be the second-to-last handled order by Budd, which in April 1987 left the railroad business after taking the name "TransitAmerica" under which the last M3s were produced though their builders plates kept the Budd name. The M3's also have the distinction of being one of the last, if not the last, third rail-powered cars to have the "blinking lights" effect at third rail gaps.
