I remember one Saturday morning early in 1963 when I went to catch a Broadway/7th Avenue local at 103rd Street to go downtown. While waiting, an outbound train arrived. The first six cars were the usual R29s (8-car trains at that time). But the 7th and last cars were R15 6234 and R12 5717. That was the first recorded transfer of Flushing line stock to the mainline. Boy, was I surprised! I think I even said "Holy shit!" LOL.Of course, there was a rapid transfer of Flushing Line stock soon after, when the R36WFs started to arrive. |
