Steeple cab
Title:  Steeple cab
Description:  This steeple cab was at the museum. Not sure of the origin, since it does not look like a typical NYCTA unit. May have come from the South Brooklyn, which ran from Bay Ridge to Coney Island, and was owned by the city. It had regular freight customers, but was used to move transit cars on and off the system to the rest of the rail network.
