Posted by randyo on Tue Jun 5 16:10:43 2012, in response to Re: Bombardier to Supply 300 New (R-179) Subway Cars for NYC Transit --- P.R., posted by 5119 on Tue Jun 5 11:32:16 2012. One Sunday in early 1970, I operated a RR train consisting of 2 R-27/30s, 1 R-16, 2 R-32s, 1 R-16 and 2 R-27/30s. With regard to compatibility, not that I describe the end units as "R-27/30s" since the R-27s and 30s were so similar that they were virtually one type of car for operational purposes much like the R-1s through (s from an earlier era. You may also recall that the entire fleet of BMT 67 ft steels were operated as one class of car even though they came from various manufacturers and even had minor design differences yet all were fully compatible and often operated in mixed trains. the same was also true of IRT LO-Vs the only exception being the Steinways although both standard geared and Steinway geared cars also came from varied manufacturers and were mixed within their individual car types. |
