69'6" x 122" #1 Red Line Pullman-Standard Cars, Built 1969-1970, Aluminum Carbodies, Electrics by Westinghouse, Overhauled 1985-1988, Seat 64. As noted, aside from a1-seat increase in seating capacity the 01600's were indistinguishable from the 01500's of the same time period. Only railfans can tell the slight differences in carbody and the way the serial number is written on the exterior.

69'6" x 122" #2 Red Line UTCD Cars, Built 1987-1989, Aluminum Carbodies, Electrics by Westinghouse, No Overhauls, Seat 63. After almost two decades, these cars were introduced to replace the oldest members of the fleet (the 01400's), just as the Green Line Type 7's replaced the PCC's. Railfans might remember the 01400's as having a bar on the door that swiveled to unlock and lock positions when the doors opened and closed.

01872 Ashmont 8/29/01 9.24 About 2/3 of the car had red "rough" seating covers, the other 1/3 in had black "smooth" seating covers. Plus, one window was had multiple cracks in it and was taped in green tape. Most transit vehicles feature shatter-resistance glass, designed to crack before it shatters. This is not only a safety feature in an accident, but could protect in unlawful circumstances. Passengers are protecting from shattering glass by rocks and other non-ammunition projectiles;  the glass itself holds up against possible hits with projectiles or large blunt objects. In essence, shatter-resistance glass isn't too many step below bulletproof glass.
01874 Braintree 8/8/00 8.30 Heading outbound, after JFK/UMass Station the electronic destination system hiccups and announces and displays "Express to North Quincy," (even though there are no stops on the Braintree line in between). For the record, the train ran slower than usual.
