Posted by randyo on Fri Apr 6 19:18:27 2012, in response to Re: March 31, 1977 - The Last R-1/9 Run In Service, posted by Joe V on Fri Apr 6 18:12:50 2012. As delivered, the R-16s and the R-10s had identical interiors as did all the SMEEs up to and including the R-30s (IRT R-29s excepted) which was a two tone blue and gray. The only exception was the last 10 R-22s delivered cars 7516 - 7524 which had a speckled green interior the same color as the paint used on the BMT steels that were rebuilt in the 1960s. In addition to the speckled green interior, those last R-22s had rigidized doors and a single pane drop sash storm door window as well as being the first NYCTA cars to have the salmon colored fiberglass seats that became the standard for several contracts. The first NYCTA cars to have hard plastic seating were the 10 air conditioned R-17s and those seats were the same shade of red as the padded seats and were "butt molded" like the R-62s. |
