The 9th Ave el ran Composites for about 10 years, from 1940-1950. They were too heavy for regular service on the 9th Ave line, so five 3-car Comosites were sent from the east side els, up 9th Ave, on the last day of service (6/10/40). They were stored on the center track above 167th St. After 1950, various IRT steel subway cars were used with their third rail shoes cut back so they could use the Anderson tunnel's elevated 3rd rail. |
