Posted by W.B. on Mon Jun 27 22:59:52 2016, in response to PHOTOS: Parade of Trains Saturday, posted by chuchubob on Sun Jun 26 10:13:11 2016. The pics of the "Train of Many Metals" remind me of the 1969 period when they tried to intermix different BMT/IND cars in one consist a la the IRT SMEE mix-and-match of the period up to the '80's; it was not uncommon in '69, based on photos taken "back then," to see an R42 intermixed with R32's or R38's or R40's (both slant and modified) to say nothing of R27/30's, R10's (especially on the A) and probably occasionally R16's. (Of course, since no two sets of BMT/IND cars looked alike, for the most part, between the R10 and the R42, this mix-and-match didn't take hold the way they did on the IRT "A" division with R12 to R36 cars.)Other than that small detail . . . I join in the salute to those pics, and especially that little display along the Brighton line. |
