Posted by randyo on Wed Oct 17 01:35:07 2018, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] R-11's - Before and After, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Oct 16 19:09:05 2018. Not the end sign which reads “13/14 St.” Some of those signs read “13/14 St-Fltn” for the 14 St Fulton service that ran till 1956. Although the R-11s were considered a “lightweight” car, I don’t know if either the B of T or the TA ever chanced running it on the old Fulton St el structure where usually only the Multis were permitted. The number 13 was actually intended for the Fulton St el service when it ran all the way to downtown Bkln and Park Row but by the time the R-11s arrived the el only ran as far as Rockaway Av and the only cars that ever displayed the 13 were the Green Hornet and the Zephyr, and AFAIK, the Zephyr only mad a few trips there before being relegated to the Fkln Shtl leaving only the Green Hornet to see somewhat regular Fulton service. There was some documentation that indicated that the number 17 was supposed to be used for the 14/Fulton service, but in practice, 14/Fltn trains carried 16 for the 14 St Line Manhattan bound and 13 for Fulton, Lefferts bound. |
