Posted by Elkeeper on Sun Jul 8 15:10:19 2018, in response to Re: BMT El train lengths, posted by SUBWAYMAN on Sun Jul 8 01:10:37 2018. Fulton St el: one 3-car "C" set or 3 gates in non-rush hours. Usually, in rush hours, two 3-car "C" sets, downtown express-local to/from Park Row. The downtown local-express was usually 5 gate cars to/from Sands St. The 2 Fulton Ferry put-ins (to preserve the franchise) were 3 gate cars.Myrtle Ave el: before the "Q" cars in mid-1958, the Myrtle used 3 gate cars in non-rush, sometimes 4. Rush hour locals had 5 cars. Some early Myrtle Ave expresses used 6 gate cars to/from Chambers St, owing to a steel car shortage on the Eastern Division. |
