I worked the 14 St Line quite frequently as a V/R M/M through the summer and into the fall of 1969 and all the trains on the line were 6 cars whether they were R-9s or R-42s. By the way the initial A/C trains on the line were R-40Ms not R-42s since the Eastern Division R-42 were not ready for service at the time the 14 St Line passengers were promised A/C trains. By the late summer of 1969, the 3 trains of R-40Ms were replaced by the properly assigned R-42s. During June/July of 1969 there were trains of R-9s, steels and R-40Ms all operating on the 14 St Line. By the time I became a T/D in 1970, the norm for service on the 14 St Line was 7 car R-9s and the 6 car trains of R-42s. |
