The new piantjob. Silverbirds, and former Bluebirds, nicknames given to transit cars on the Red Line in their former paint schemes. The MBTA started a rebuild program in the late 1970's. The Pullman 01400's went first, then in the 1980's the 01500 and 01600's also built by Pullman Standard. By 1988 all of the cars had been rebuilt.
