Re: R1s-9s

The R-1's that were failing around 1966 had been sidelined, and the R-38's did come in to take their place. They did not fully retire yet.

However, after checking the image database at nycsubway.org, there were still R-1's hanging in there as late as 1970! Yes, you are correct that the R-40's did come in to replace the last AB's, while the R-7/9's went to the BMT Eastern Division.
