It is true that originally, the Flushing Line was to get red cars similar to the R-29/33 from whatever contract number would be assigned, but that was changed when the picture window design was developed and since the TA wanted cars of the new design ASAP, rather than wait for the M/L R-33s to be completed, it requested that R-36 parts be used on 40 R-33s to make up the singles that would be needed to make up 11 car trains anyhow. Actually when it came time for the R-36 M/Ls to be constructed, they were equipped with brackets for the Identra coils then in use on the Flushing Line. |
