Re: R1s-9s

Posted by William A. Padron on Thu Feb 11 06:29:38 2021, in response to R1s-9s, posted by Express Rider on Thu Feb 11 00:16:15 2021.

The retirement of the R-1/9 car fleet started to begin in 1968, with the arrival of the R-40's, R-40M's and R-42's. The R-7 and R-9 cars did eventually go to the BMT Eastern Division commencing around that time, and with some of the R-6 cars also going there towards the end of their own service lives.

This basically went on as the years passed until the last runs along the BMT Eastern Division in 1977. The last run on the IND Division was in 1976.

Based upon research, none of the IND cars had any proposed or known additional routes and designations for the so-called "Second System". I basically told in a previous post as tp what were on the original roll signs placed on the R-1 and R-4 contract fleet, including what changes were recommended for new replacements to be issued.
