According to my "Cars of the BMT" book, the entire MS fleet had awful braking characteristics. They often overshot stations and ran red lights. Once the section of the Fulton El from 80th St. to Atlantic Ave. was closed in 1956, the main reason for running these cars (they could traverse the older unrebuilt el lines) disappeared.
