Remarks & Notes

In it's final years as an active cab control car, the 9800 wore a "black bandit mask" around the windshields. When the car went in for overhaul it emerged with an all blue nose and cab controls removed as it was rarely used as a cab car and costly to maintain it as such. The car still operates today as a "First Class Conference Club" for charters and special service.
