Dear Iskra historians

Forgive my iiggorance, but were not the dog box sparks hauled by steam
locos around the suburban system prior to electrification? 
The swing door Taits, I always believed, were built in the 1920s, after
electrification had been, for all intents and purposes, completed.

Agree.Disagree?
