Sometime in late 1983/early 1984, when the N went to Ctl, someone downtown came up with the idea of cutting 8 car N trains of R-46s into 2 4 car trains after the AM rush , one of which would be used for an N and the other for a GG. GGs consisting of R-10s would lay up solid. Just before the PM rush a 4 car N and a 4 car GG would add to make an 8 car N and an GG consisting of R-10s would be put in. At that time all Ns were 8 cars including trains of R-32s and often 4 car trains of R-32s would be operated on both the N and the GG. While 4 cars on the GG were not that critical, the 4 car Ns were extremely overcrowded and the service pattern was eventually dropped. |
