They actually did run R-15s in solid trains on occasion on the mainline but not for very long. It was right around the time they came to the mainline that the IRT C & S Dept decided to assign cars by electrical manufacturer rather than car type and the mixing started. Once the radio antennas were installed the R-12s and 14s were banned from the C/R position due to C/Rs getting injured on the radio antennas that were being installed. Although the R-15s had inside door controls, the cesspool of incompetence that comprised and still continues to comprise much of TA management classified them with all the "Queens cars" and they too were banned from C/R positions. Even after a smaller size antenna like those used on the BMT/IND cars was installed on the R-12s through 15s, IRT management declined to allow their use at C/R positions except for the 3 Av El which operated solid trains of R-12s and the TA had no choice. |
