Posted by randyo on Fri Apr 6 19:08:36 2012, in response to Re: March 31, 1977 - The Last R-1/9 Run In Service, posted by Joe V on Fri Apr 6 18:32:11 2012. Just before the Myrtle/Chambers was reduced to a rush hour only service in 1959, I recall riding a midday 3 car train of R-16s on that service. I also recall that the first time I rode Myrtle and the first and only time I rode Fulton which was on a Sunday in 1956, there were trains of R-16s on the 14 St Line. As for the R-42s, most of them were used on the A, AA/B, D, E, F, N and RR with the remainder assigned to the QJ, LL and M. Most of the R-42s performed yeoman service on the BMT and IND mainlines and it was only after GOH that they were exiled to the BMT Eastern. |
