It seems that I read somewhere that the reason that the R-10s were numbered in 2 sets was that the 1800s were supposed to go to the IND and the 3000s were supposed to go to the BMT. Car 300 I was told was actually delivered with BMT roll signs. Eventually, however, all the R-10s ended up on the IND until a few made their way to the BMT Eastern Division probably to familiarize BMT M/Ms with SMEE equipment in anticipation of delivery of the R-16s. I would imagine that C/Rs were qualified for door operation on some Flushing Line's R-15s at CIY since Flushing Line cars at the time were main shopped there and the R-15 and 16 door controls were virtually identical. |
