Nope the R10s were always on the CC during the late '60s (don't know when they started appearing on the CC) up until retirement. I would know this since I lived along the CC (don't know when they started appearing on the CC) and rode on or along the CC (on the A or D) almost everyday.Also the R44s didn't replace the R10s. When the R44s were first assigned to the A around '72 or '73 only approximately 50 of them give or take a few which, along with the R42s was hardly enough to replace the R10s. In 1976 that set of R44s were sent to the D. From that point until Spring of '77 there were NO R44s assigned to the A. In late Spring '77 Jamaica sent their R44s to the A. This only resulted in MORE R10s being sent to the CC. The R10s still dominated the A. During that time the TA was shortening trains during non-rush hours only. Eventually when the trains were shortened, the R44s provided all the service. Other than that, during rush hours and holidays the R10s dominated. When the R40s arrived on the A the second time in October '77, that's what replaced the R10s. |
