Fleet Details
The Redhens comprised two designs:-
- 300-class had a driving cab at one end of each railcar. These needed to run as a minimum of 2-car trains.
- 400-class had driving cabs at both ends, and could be used as a single car when needed, or in multiple with other railcars to make up longer trains.
In addition, there were a number of unpowered trailer cars, designated 820-class or 860-class. These had been modified from steam-era suburban carriages and were used with the Redhens between 1955 and 1987.

Famous quotes containing the words fleet and/or details:
“A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
