Posted by (X) 2nd Avenue Local on Thu Feb 8 17:27:53 2007, in response to Re: Modern Subway Cars vs. Older Subway Cars (pros, cons, memories, thoughts)), posted by subway nutz on Thu Feb 8 11:33:42 2007. Why are you asking me? I don't know. Maybe the parties involved--the TA and ACF--thought the overall car-body shell design and operational function would be an improvement over earlier improvement. The R-16's was one of the early fleets to use electric door motors and featured the modern version of the half-width cabs (following the lead of the R-15's). It also did streamline the basic build of NYCT subway cars for the next decade. |
