The IND Culver connection really did nothing to address the BMT car shortage. The IND did not have "surplus" cars to extend service from Church Ave to Coney Island. Where did the cars come from then? They came from "repatriating" the 100 or so R1-9s that were transferred to the BMT when the R10s arrived. Also, around this time, the R16s were being delivered. However, even with the 200 R16s, there was still a car shortage, leading to running ex-SIRT cars and some modified IRT low-Vs in the BMT until the R27s arrived in 1960-61. |
