Posted by Randyo on Thu Dec 16 16:43:23 2010, in response to Re: 70 Years Ago (12/15/1940) - IND 6th Avenue Line Opens, posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Dec 16 08:02:35 2010. The Culver stations had to be lengthened anyhow since they could only have accommodated 8 X 67 ft cars, so it would have made sense to lengthen them to accommodate 11 car IND trains. AFAIK, the IND stations S/O ENY could only accommodate 10 car trains so the 11 car E trains that operated as far as Euclid could not open the 11th car there either. Even if 11 car Fs did operate on the Culver, since they had both a C/R and a rear guard either one of the end cars could have kept their side doors closed at those platforms that could only hold 10 cars. |
