You are right, the R46s definately were on the "GG" as well as the "N" around 1978-79. I don't know when the ban was placed on the R46s but I know it was in effect by 1980/81 and off by 1982.The "GG" for some reason was treated like the Queens Blvd "stepchild" during 1978-79, you would catch very few R46s on the "GG" during rush hours. However, during non-rush hours, when the TA would shorten trains, that is when the "GG" was entirely R46s. Then after '79 or '80, they just disappeared altogether. At that point, the R10s provided service during "normal hours" and the R32s provided service all other times. The R46s didn't appear on the "GG" on a regular basis until either 86 or 87. Then taken off again around 1989 once there was enough rebuilt R32s to go around. The R46s didn't comeback until 1990, and has been there every since. |
