Posted by Edwards! on Sun Jul 14 18:15:48 2024, in response to Re: Retired R46's, posted by Q Brightliner Harry on Sun Jul 14 15:22:53 2024. Shoppers Special M used R32s.The N did use R27/30s before Christie st, and there are plenty of pics available. The RR used R27/30 exclusively, but did use 32s to meet service requirements. The T and TT used R32s. The Q used 32s. QB/QT used 27/30, and 32s to make service requirements. After Christie st,work assignments were crazy. The B/D received southern division R32s formerly serving the Q,T and TT, and prewar Arnine.Some B and D runs were R27/30. The new QB ran whatever was available within the QB,QJ,RR pool based out of Coney Island. The N retained it's original rolling stock..but as the year went along into 1968,some very weird latch ups were seen in service along this line. You would see R38s from the F line,mixed in with 32s. You would see R27/30/32/38 in one train. Later,when the R40s 40m and 42s arrived, you might see them all mixed in one 8 car train The N line actually introduced the R42 into the system,in a mixed train set. This only really happened in the South. Queens Blvd usually operated solid sets. However, the prewar equipment was jumbled up so much, that it didn't make much difference what was what in a train set.. The R10s were in a class of its own, often running in it own groups. There Was a new R42 set ran in passenger service with 10s. It was ridiculous, and never done again. After Christie st, the east began receiving R27/30 from the South, sending R16s to the RR.. and EE |
