Posted by randyo on Thu Jan 7 03:13:40 2010, in response to Re: ZMan, that is great news, replacing the M train with the V train., posted by Dupont Circle Station on Wed Jan 6 18:14:22 2010. When the EE was still running, the N was still 8 cars regardless of the car length and by the time the N was being sent to CTL, the EE was eliminated anyhow. In the early 1980s, when the R-10s were assigned to the GG, we often made "full service" by supplying the GG with 7 car trains of R-10s and having 8 car trains on the N regardless of car type. Midday service was supposed to be supplied by cutting 8 car trains of R-46s on the N and making 4 car GG and N trains from the cut 8 car N trains and laying up the R-10 GG trains. Unfortunately, all the 8 car N trains were cut to make 4 car trains regardless of car type and many times heavily overcrowded 4 car N trains of R-32s operated down the road. |
