This tabulation was originally issued by the Institute in April, 1962, in cooperation with the American Transit Association's Advisory Committee on Rail Cars. This second edition contains additions as well as certain changes and corrections in order to provide as accurate a reference work as possible on rapid transit cars purchased in the United States and Canada between 1958 and the date of this publication. A similar tabulation on rapid transit cars purchased between 1950 and 1957 is also available (Date Book I). Cars of the New York City Transit Authority are not included in either of these two books as the Authority publishes a tabulation of its own.
