When the New York World's Fair opened in 1964 there were not enough Bluebird on hand to cover the service. Mainline R-33 Redbirds were sent to the Flushing Line to cover the schedules. A number of R-17's were retained to make up the eleventh car on a normal train set with the Redbirds. Once they did a few runs through the Corona Car Wash their maroon paint scheme should up quite nicely on a train where the other 10 cars had that brilliant Tartar Red paint.Larry, RedbirdR33 |
