Posted by William A. Padron on Sat Apr 14 11:18:43 2018, in response to Subway Oddballs (Not the two legged kind), posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun Apr 8 12:43:46 2018. OK, another R-10 oddity, and as confirmed by the October 1958 edition of the ERA "Headlights" magazine, there was an "A" train that had apple-scented perfumed discs coming somewhere each from inside the cars. They were (and as kept together) #3036, #3264, #1826, #3326, #3001, #3143, #3097, #3175, #3262 and #3002.From the DeHart/Cunningham IND book published in 1977, the cars were first used in IND "A" train service on Tuesday, June 10, 1958. It was all part of a promotional campaign, where a company would offer a consumer, who bought soap products from, three coupons in exchanged for one free token. It was to have lasted to the end of the calendar year of 1958. -William A. Padron ["a.c.f."] |
