They were the first electric cars to run in revenue service on the SIRT.<sup id="cite_ref-JUNE5_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-JUNE5-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The ME-1s entered service in 1925 and ran continuously on all three SIRT lines. Sometime between 1953 and 1954, 25 cars were purchased by the <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Transit_Authority" title="New York City Transit Authority">New York City Transit Authority</a> to run on the subway. Numbered 2900–2924, these cars were nicknamed <b>B-29s</b>, a reference to a <a href="/wiki/B29_bomber" class="mw-redirect" title="B29 bomber">large aircraft of the same name</a>, due to their large size (67 feet or 20.42 meters) and the fact that they had been renumbered for subway service into the 2900s. The NYCT cars continued to run until 1961, when they were replaced by the <a href="/wiki/R27_(New_York_City_Subway_car)" title="R27 (New York City Subway car)">R27s</a> and <a href="/wiki/R30_(New_York_City_Subway_car)" title="R30 (New York City Subway car)">R30s</a>. The SIRT cars lasted until 1973, when they were replaced by the <a href="/wiki/R44_(New_York_City_Subway_car)" title="R44 (New York City Subway car)">R44s</a>.
