Posted by randyo on Sat Oct 7 22:29:14 2006, in response to Re: Pre-GOH R-46 Questions, posted by SilverFox on Sat Oct 7 02:20:43 2006. As delivered, the R-40Ms thru R-46s had no inter car barriers except at the #2 end on the 40s and 42s. As early as 1976, the TA attempted to add some form of intercar barriers beween the cars by adding on a collapsable pantograph gate similar to those on the IRT Lo-Vs. I saw several trains of R-46s with them but for some reason, the installations were not extended to the entire fleet and they were removed from the cars that did get them. It wasn't until the early 1980s that the TA again attempted to install some sort of inter car barriers and several rather novel devices were tried before the present baloney springs were decided on. |
