I remember seeing and riding on just about every type of car on the IRT mainlines in the 1970s and 1980s until the R62 and R62A came and sent most of the older cars to the scrap yard. There were consists which had everything from R12/14/15 to the newer R29 and R33 cars but all of them were heavily vandalized and usually had a lot of non working lights and doors. You took your life into your hands riding those trains because police protection was nonexistent. The B division wasn't much better with older R10 and R16 cars having been taken out of storage due to the R46 truck fiasco. |
