The Jamaica Yard Crisis reared its ugly head 53 years ago. R-38 deliveries were slowed by a strike at SLCC and 20 of them were on the property by this date. They were pressed into service, but it still wasn't enough to cover schedules. 32 R-16s were borrowed from ENY and they went into service on the GG, with new signs spliced into their curtains. The ripple effect continued; a group of condemned BMT standards were pulled off the scrapline and sent back to revenue service, with the S for Scrap painted over, on the Broadway-Brooklyn local. |
