Re: R1s-9s

That was what it was like when I first started railfanning. For some reason the 3 systems in NY along with the H&M and the Boston transit system believed that tunnel lighting was sufficient for the M/M to operate safely and for years never installed any sort of headlights on their equipment. I suspect that the only reason the early H&M Newark cars (MP38s) and the K cars had headlights was to comply with ICC (pre FRA) rules and also because they shared the ROW with the PRR west of Journal Sq.
