Tue Mar 9 2010, Three in a 1915 series of articles about the "New York Municipal Car" aka the BMT Standard and one followup article from 1921. (There were actually 3 more articles in the 1915 series but they were published in 1914 and archive.org doesn't have ERJ from prior to 1915 posted. The missing articles are "Design," June 6, 1914; "Body," June 13, 1914; "Trucks, Brake Rigging and Draft Gear," Dec. 26, 1914 in case anyone wants to find them in a library.)

And two miscellaneous articles, also from ERJ: "How Can the New York Transit Problem Be Solved?" (1922), "New York, London, Paris and Berlin Transit Compared" (1923). Fri Mar 5 2010, More new old articles from Electric Railway Journal: "Concreted Track for New York City Subway" (1929), "Track Materials Specially Designed for New York City Subways" (1929), "Well-Planned Schedules Speed Subway Track Construction" (1931), "Mayor Hylan Held Responsible for New York's Subway Ills" (1925), Interborough to Have Enlarged Shops 1924), Interborough Inspection Shop Methods -- Modern Inspection Facilities...
