Posted by randyo on Wed May 31 16:41:15 2017, in response to Re: [PHOTO] When The R-40M's Were New, posted by FYBklyn1959 on Tue May 30 21:13:55 2017. Actually, R-10 3000 was delivered with BMT roll signs and it was rumored the the 3000 series R-10s were supposed to be assigned to the BMT. When the R-16 arrived, 50 of them were sent to the IND possibly with the intent of having all of them assigned to the A. As for the R-32s, It was initially rumored that they were to go to the Queens IND but when they came in, they ended up on the BMT instead. The R-11s were the first cars to actually have roll signs for both the BMT and the iND and as I mentioned in my other posts, I rode them first on the IND A Line. According to the IND old timers, the 10 R-11s in a solid train were often kept on A5 Tk N/O 125 St with a full crew as a manned gap train to be used in case an A or D went out of service. |
