NYCTA Low-V Work car

NYCTA Low-V Work car

Called 'Low-V' because of their use of safer low voltage control system (as opposed to the earlier 'Hi-V' equipment), these cars were first built in 1915 as special 'Steinway' 2 motor units designed to handle the 4% grade of the Steinway tunnel between Manhattan and Queens.
The first actual 'Low-V' motor cars arrived in 1916, with additional orders in 1917, 1924 and 1925. The original 12 Steinway motors were build by the Pressed Steel Car Company, additional Low-V's were built by Pullman and ACF ('24 - '25). There were also Low-V trailer units, which were mixed with the motors to reduce weight on the old lattice elevated structures in Manhattan and the Bronx.
When newer car orders were delivered, and the Low-V's were removed from service, some continued on as work cars, used by the NYCTA for all sorts of things, from hauling track repair trains to plowing snow.
