The R-44s and the M-1s had virtually the same braking system, RT-5 with the troublesome P wire control. While LIRR and M/N were able to get the bugs out of their cars, NYCT didn’t seem to have the same luck, possibly because of the underground environment of the subway so NYCT went back to the proven technology of the RT-2 (SMEE) braking system with the R-62s and 68s. |
