Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Tue May 30 21:13:55 2017, in response to Re: [PHOTO] When The R-40M's Were New, posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Tue May 30 21:01:20 2017. Pre-MTA, it seems that the TA did get different cars for the BMT and IND divisions:Arnines of course were IND, as they all predated unification. R-10: IND R-11: BMT R-16: BMT R-27/30: BMT R-32: BMT R-38: IND R-40 (Slant and Modified): IND By the time the R-42s came around, MTA was in existence, and even though there were still references to the BMT and IND, it was basically "B" Division. Chrystie helped to blur the lines. So the R-42s cut across both IND and BMT. In effect, the R-44s were IND, because at that time, only IND lines (A, D, E, F) were running 600-foot trains, even though of course the D was running on BMT trackage in Brooklyn. Initially, the R-46 was only on the F, but after the 8/30/76 service changes (EE eliminated, N replacing it on Queens Blvd), finally, an R-46 was assigned to a legacy BMT line (which was IND in Queens) |
