1939 BMT Brooklyn "Bluebird" Articulated
Rapid Transit PCC Car
In 1938 Brooklyn Manhattan Transit (BMT) ordered a three-unit
articulated train from Clark Equipment Co. with standard PCC trucks and
control equipment. This lightweight aluminum car, called “Bluebird” for
its bright painting, provided a very high standard of comfort and a new
order of 50 sets went also to Clark Co. Unfortunately, only 5 sets were
built because the City of New York Mayor F.LaGuardia had no interest of
streetcars and elevated lines and the rest of the order was canceled.
The “Bluebirds” remained in service until 1956.
