The steels couldn’t run to Lefferts before the IND took over since the original Fulton St el structure between Hinsdale St and Grant Ave was never rebuilt to accommodate heavyweight steel cars. The only subway cars allowed to operate there were the Multis which were of a lighter weight corten steel and the Bluebird which was made of aluminum.
