Tuscarora Almanac for March 6



1913 – from The Book of First Runs

Harrison station on the H&M’s Park Place (Newark) Line opens. (This station was located on Railroad Avenue a short distance north of the current Harrison station).



1951 – from The Book of Last Runs

This is the last day for streetcar service in Des Moines, Iowa.



1969 – from The Book of First Runs

The first train of 100 R-40's with the straight or modified ends began service today on the "F" Queens - 6th Avenue - Culver Express. They will become known as R-40 M's. Their original numbers were 4250 - 4349. They were renumbered in 1971 to 4450 - 4549.

1971 – from The Book of Strange and Unusual Occurrences

R-10 3226 led a shop move of IRT cars from the IND Concourse Yard to the IRT Jerome Avenue Yard via the Jerome Avenue elevated line. The R-10 remained in the IRT Yard for several hours before it was wrong railed back to the Concourse Yard.

I don't know Steve. I do know that a few months earlier in October an R-16 tried to escape the IND by hitching on to a train of R-17's.
I believe that he made it as far as Bedford Park Boulevard.

That would make sense since they look enough alike to fool the yardmaster on duty.

Didn't Brooklyn Bridge streetcars to Park Row end on March 6th, 1950?
