I rode the R-11 on the A sometime around 1950 probably just after its R-10 style storm door window was fitted with the porthole. According to the IND old timers it was usually used as a manned gap train during AM rush hours and was kept on A-5 tk N/O 125 St with a crew and was to be used in the event either an A or D train broke down. Also there is an episode of the 1950s TV show originally called “Man Against Crime” later renamed to “Follow That Man” staring Ralph Bellamy which shows a scene in 207 St Yd with the R-11 laid up there. I’m surprised that it would have been used on any of the Queens lines since at the time only Wash Hts (A and AA) crews were qualified on SMEE equipment. |
