Yes, because the plan also included the expanded length of station platforms on the BMT Southern Division, construction of the IND 6th Avenue express tracks and the 57th Street-6th Avenue stub terminal station.DeKalb Avenue interlocking would see an increased number of trains going through there, from 65 TPH (520 cars per hour) to a combined 80 TPH (670 cars per hour) with the expanded length trains. In addition, even the R-11's were redone under contract R-34. The R-16's went over to the "GG", with 32 of them as assigned beginning on 9/12/1966. As for the R-1/R-4 situation of the 1960's, there were suggestions to have them replaced by the R-32's at first, and have the BMT AB's and D-Type units continue on. The NYCTA was really eager to get rid of those pre-WWII cars as possible. -William A. Padron ["Smith-9th St."] |
