Actually, the scuttlebutt was that the R-32s were supposed to be assigned to the IND Queens lines, but they went to the BMT instead. I’m only guessing, but I surmise that the intent was to sent the R-1/9s to the BMT and scrap the ABs and the Ds (which they did anyway). As it turned, both the BMT and IND prewar equipment was in such bad shape that it was decided to send the R-32s to the BMNT first and scrap all the Ds and unrebuilt ABs rather than send the BMT just another bunch of falling apart cars. |
