I seem to recall that at some point in the 70s, the 12/14/15s were also not used at lead motors, why was that? The last time I remember riding an R12 or R14 as lead motor was in the summer of 1972 on the 2. I was actually living in Illinois then, but spent the summers with my grandmother in Brooklyn (near the Newlots Av station). When I returned to NY in June 1974, I never saw a 12/14/15 as lead motor. I know later on, whatever issue caused that lead motor ban was apparently worked out and they were used as lead motors again, but that was after I moved to Southern California in the late summer of 1976. |
