Posted by BMT Standard on Sun Aug 25 12:31:34 2019, in response to Arnines on the BMT - photos - early years, posted by Express Rider on Sat Aug 24 15:34:52 2019. Some Arnines (I think it was about 100) were transferred to the BMT starting in 1948 when the R-10s arrived. This helped to alleviate the BMT's chronic shortage of steel subway cars. They ran almost exclusively on the #2 - Fourth Ave. Local route. Most of them went back to the IND when the R-16s arrived in 1955, although they did show up occasionally on the Fourth Ave. Local until the late 1950s. |
