They had subway type shoes which on the BMT worked with both types of 3rd rail. Why that wouldn't have worked on the IRT, I don't know but I do recall seeing subway shoes on the IRT riding high up on the el 3rd rail like the BMT subway shoes did so I don't know why they couldn't have been similarly designed to work on both types of 3rd rail like the BMT's did. |
