And among the upgrades of the IRT was eliminating their original 75 lb. third rail and replacing them with 150 lb. NMC third rail which originally was made for BMT and IND trackage. (To this day, some sections of IRT West Side tracks south of Times Square have the IRT's own sections of 150 lb. third rail which differ from that developed by what was the New York Municipal Railway Corporation subsidiary of what before 1923 was known as the BRT.) |
