Posted by randyo on Sat Jul 13 00:09:42 2024, in response to Re: Retired R46's, posted by Edwards! on Fri Jul 12 16:37:32 2024. I recall reading in a 1950s issue of the ERA newsletter “Headlights” an article citing one of the B of T and early NYCTA commissioners Sydney H. Bingham. According to the article, Col Bingham said that the ideal size for a rapid transit car was 60ft long by 10ft wide which is what the IND was using and the size cars being ordered for the BMT. It seems that after all the experimentation being done by the MTA regarding rolling stock, Col Bingham’s assessment was correct after all at least regarding the NYCTS. |
