How did the TA handle the difference in third rail shoes between the elevated cars and the steel subway cars which replaced them?Murray: The IRT had several locations were there were joint subway-el operations. I believe that the el cars had a third rail shoe that could make contact with both types of third rail. I would like to say that at some point after the 3rd Avenue Line was abandoned south of 149th Street the remaining portion was converted to subway type third rail. I can't be sure of this without backing through the files. If no one answers your question I'll get back to you in a day or so with an answer. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
