Posted by William A. Padron on Thu Feb 18 10:16:16 2021, in response to Re: R1s-9s, posted by Joe V on Thu Feb 18 08:41:41 2021. Looking at my copy of the book "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of New York City Subway Rollsigns and Ancillary Items - Volume 1: BMT and IND Lines - 1914 to 1970's", and on the chapter covering the R-16's on pages 208 to 225...In approximately 80 cars, the "95th Street" plus five other designations for the BMT Southern Division (routes #1 and #2), were inserted and added to the original roll signs in 1958. Later, on just 32 cars, the "Smith 9th St" and "Continental Avenue"(duplicating "Queens Forest H'ls") were added and inserted on the roll signs for IND "GG" service in 1966. Those related as and for "QJ", "JJ" and "RR" (but not for "RJ") came in 1967. When cars #6300-6349 went to the IND 1956-1958, they had signs only for in connection with the "A", "AA", "BB" and even the "HH" to/from Court Street. To think, the R-16's roll signs when originally installed in 1954 at first had designations for the #14, #15, #16 and #10 routes only (no #13). -William A.
