I though the R17's of 1955 assigned to the #7 meant going from 9 to 10 cars. I guess not. Joe: The August 1961 car requirement was for 36-9 cars trains equaling 324. There were only a total of 350 R-12/14/15's. That was not enough to protect the service and provide a comfortable shop margin. Hence fifty R-17's (6500-6549) were sent over from the mainland to help out. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
