I can’t say for certain, but I would suspect that the popularity at the time of the Billy Strayhorn/Duke Ellington tune “Take the A Train” popularized the line to the point that the B of T felt that it was the showcase line of the NYCTS or at least the IND so it was the best place to assign its newest cars. As far as the opinions of those who operated them, I thought they were the best SMEEs around until the R-32s came along although neither were as much fun to operate as the various prewar equipment like the R-9s. |
