Posted by Express Rider on Fri Feb 23 19:09:51 2018, in response to [PHOTOS] BRT/BMT Snapshots, posted by Bill Newkirk on Fri Feb 23 13:54:07 2018. Agree with all the previous posts!These photos are just plain good....very good....ok, great! Thank you for posting and sharing these. Questions, 3rd photo: gate cars operated on the Fulton st. el in addition to the C-Types? I'd thought that after some point, the pre-war (read entire) Fulton line was exclusively C-Types. If trains of gate cars were intermixed with C-types, were some type of extenders installed the gate cars' platforms to fill the gap since hadn't the platforms been cut back for the wider C-s? And if so, was this group of gate cars kept separately (for Fulton service) from the rest of the fleet? 5th photo: by 1949, I thought gate cars were only used on the southern div. subway lines as shuttles (i.e. Kings Hwy.-CI)_to ease the steel car shortage). So the gate car culver locals had terminals 9th ave. - C.I. All times or rush hours only? Assume gate car culver local operation was begun after 5th ave. el termination? How long did this route, serviced by el cars last. Thank you. Express Rider |
