I understand the reason bologna springs were used on 75 ft cars due to the end excess, but there is no reason why IRT cars and 60 ft long BMT/IND cars couldn’t have gone back to the pantograph gates like the R-62s. It would make cutting and adding much easier even thpugh there isn’t too much of that going on at the present time.

Then there's got to be a reason why pantograph gates aren't used on new equipment.

Maybe someone here ya know for sure.
