Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Mon Aug 8 09:17:44 2005, in response to Re: Metropolitan Ave[R32 On the M], posted by vengence on Sat Aug 6 00:31:19 2005. 32 R-16s were loaned to Jamaica Yard in August of 1966 when R-1/9s began dropping like flies and delivery of R-38s was slowed by a strike at St. Louis Car Company. Those R-16s were put in service on the GG and the 20 R-38s on the property were pressed into service on the E and F (one 10-car set on each line). Then a group of condemned BMT standards were pulled off the scrapline and returned to revenue service with the S for Scrap painted over. |
