Tuscarora Almanac - February 12, 1973 - The Book of WrecksThere was a major collision on the southbound express track (B-3) of the IND South Brooklyn Line just north of Church Avenue Station between two empty trains. A ten car train composed of R-1/9's struck a train of R-40's . The consist of the R-1/9 train was (s) 1236, 1105, 1128, 1183, 1324, 1077, 1188, 1254, 1416 and 1155. The consist of the R-40 train was (s) 4306-07, 4181-80, 4317-16, 4264-65 and 4421-20. R-40 4420 was badly damaged and reportedly was cut up on the spot. R-6 1236 was badly damaged and will be scrapped as 754. Source: NYD Bulletin April 1973 ------------- Basically the first car of the R-1/9 (car R-6 1236) struck the last car of the R-40 (car R-40 4420) train while both trains were headed south-bound on the express track. This could be a violiation of the signal system also as the two trains should normally not have been allowed to get that close to each other under normal rules. Mike |
