Re: 1970 Employee ''RR'' Fourth Avenue Line Timetable

I recall that being tried in the early 1990s when weekend A, D, N and R service was supposed to be done with 4 car trains of whatever type of 75 ft cars were assigned to those lines. The weekend headways were decreased so that loading guidelines would not be exceeded. While the A with its R-44s, the D with its R-68s and the R with its R-46s were no problem. However there were not sufficient 75 ft cars which would have been R-68s at the time to provide full weekend N service, the difference being made up with R-32s. As a result weekend N service was provided by full 600 ft trains and eventually the program was dropped.
