The IRT historically was always the home of less varied body types,its just a smaller system. Back before 1949, ALL IRT car bodies looked basically the same, except for the 1939 WF cars. You had to more than a casual railfan to tell the difference between Hi and Low-Vs, trailers and powered cars. Same thing withthe pre-R-10 IND, only a true rail buff could tell the diff between an R-1 and an R-9 (if you hid the road numbers that is!)
