Posted by UTC Bus Roster on Mon Oct 28 08:08:27 2013, in response to Re: R27 / R30 Farewell - History in the Making, posted by BLE-NIMX on Sat Oct 26 20:46:23 2013. The R-14's that went to the mainline after the El closed (5804-5806) had a PA system installed, as the rest of the R-14 ars already had a PA system installed. The last 4 GE R-14 cars to operate in service were #5811, 5813, 5838 & 5866, which last ran on the #2 line. I operated all 4 of them on the #2 line and/or around 239 St. Yard.The oldest R-12 I operated was 5731 (I have an original number board from that car available for sale on ebay). I operated it on transfers, as when I became a motorman in June of 1983, those cars had just been retired from passenger service and had been assigned to Lenox Yard for use as work motors. The reason why the #2 & 3 switched southern terminals was so the #3 line would have a maintenance facility, as the #2 had that convenience at both ends of the line with the #3 have none. |
