When did the R16 lose a fight with a Standard ?

#6494 - Rear-ended by a BMT Standard; pushed against bumping block at Broad St., 9/26/1957. Good end of 6494 used to repair R-27 #8217 (www.nycsubway.org).

That's #8217 with the R-16 front. The edge where the turtle back roof meets the front is rounded on the R-16. The edge is sharp on the R-27.

Line: BMT Sea Beach Line...Location: 8th Avenue... Route: N...Car: R-27 (St. Louis, 1960) 8217... Collection of: David Pirmann...Date: 5/2/1964...from nycsubway.org
