I've seen the pics (yours?) on Flickr of the R33/36 WF cars being delivered there. Great pics! But I have a question, that might apply to the scrapping operations in the 1950s as well...How did they (TA or NHRR) get the cars to/from the unpowered tracks onto 3rd rail? Did the TA have any diesel or steam locomotives yet to accomplish this? OR, as I suspect, did the NHRR use its own locomotives to push the new cars (R17, R33/36WF, etc) to a point where a TA electric work train could push one car into the gap zone, couple up, and move to 180th Street? Were locomotives used at all in the scrap moves? Or the cars just operated to the end of the third rail, allowed to stall, and de-railed right there? Your pics and what you said above suggest that... |
