Posted by randyo on Thu Jul 2 16:18:34 2020, in response to Re: Tuscarora Dispatch No. 33 IRT Car Requirements / August 1961, posted by Joe V on Thu Jul 2 14:02:56 2020. In 1961, the R-17s had not yet been transferred to the Flushing Line. One thing I noticed during the time that the R-17s through 21s were being retrofitted with seal beam headlights was that that all Pelham trains had seal beams as opposed to the Bway trains which were not assembled that way. One day while standing at G/Cent Lex, I observed that the Yd/Mast at West Yd had assembled the trains in such a way that the 1st, 4th, 5th and 8th cars of the trains all had the seal beams installed. That meant that all the trains at all times would have seal beams even overnight when 4 car trains were operated. Of course as more cars received the seal beams and the entire R-17 fleet was retrofitted assembling the cars in 4 car sets like that became unnecessary. |
