Rare is a little too strong a description.There were a couple of dozen R36WF's on the west side IRT in the 1970's and early 1980's, all mixed up with eveything. In 1969 - 1971, everything on the "B" Division got mixed. The craziest consist I saw was on a QJ; R42-R27-R32-R42 In the mid-1980's R16/R27 were deliberately mixed , at least on the L train to keep the R16's going. R32/R38 and R40M/R42 was common until the end. |
