For anyone who hasn't checked it out yet, I've been attempting to compile a list of all known New York City Subway cars into one database. Check out the link below:

This is a project I've been working on since last December. The purpose behind this is to compile a list of all known preserved equipment that have operated on NYCT property into a single, clear database that is as complete in terms of information as possible, in the most accessible form possible. By accessible, I mean something where everyone, not just railfans, can follow, read up, and most importantly, learn from.
So far, I've uploaded this list onto Google Docs in Excel format, which unfortunately, limits a pretty significant amount of the information I want to put up (due to spaces allowed per column). I am interested in ultimately creating a database of some form that includes photos and other things related to the preserved equipment. If anyone can direct me to something, it will be greatly appreciated.
On the other hand, the list itself isn't finished yet; there's still some information that's still missing and needed (like rebuild dates, for example). A number of you guys online have been very helpful with tons of input and needed additional info here and there and I truly appreciate it. Special thanks to you guys!

Special thanks to everyone at nycsubway.org, nyctforums.com, subchat.com (including all current and retired NYCT employees for sharing any form of information with us and for their input on various ranges of topics), Ray Jules (information on the BMT B-Types and additional input), and Kevin Wong of R36 Preservation (for rebuilding notes and other notes). If I missed anyone, please make yourselves known! Anything else that should be added, please let me know! Thanks again. All kinds of help's very appreciated.
