Which is 176 cars which if we convert to number cars to a train in 1954 would be equivalent to operating 30 trains.Not quite. Each 60 ft. R142 holds 145 passengers of whom 44 are seated. That's a total of 23,200 passengers of whom 7040 are seated. Raise those figures 10%, if the MTA ever pays its electric bill. The 1954 and 1949 trains used 67 ft. BMT Standards cars that sat 75 passengers with standing capacity for 100 more. The carrying capacity was 25,200 with 10,800 seated. They could have operated 8 car long trains (with the exception of the 6 Multis from Lefferts), if there were a capacity problem. |
