Posted by W.B. on Tue Oct 10 22:06:19 2017, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac for October 10, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Tue Oct 10 15:51:00 2017. In the past, there were auctions on online auction sites for copies of contract drawings for the Fourth Avenue subway, and on one of them they specified a platform edge width of 4' 7¼" from track center to the face of the wooden rubbing board. I guess it was that spec for which the Q's were originally built. (What was the BRT elevated cars' width over the "face" of the door sill edges, anyway?) The drawings were also dated 1908 - before it was decided that wider cars would run on the line (and the platform edge width to face of rubbing board settled at 5' 2" which is today B Division standard - except for contract drawings of the Coney Island/Stillwell Avenue terminus where such distance was listed at 5' 3"). |
