It was probably that during 1958 had seen those R-16's were going to the Southern Division, possibly and perhaps the same way when 30 R-10 cars went to the Eastern Division in 1954, to train and familiarize the crews of the newer SMEE cars forthcoming. The R-27 contract was ordered in 1959.It was also in that same year being reported when some BMT AB cars were sent to the "F" line. They had designations added on the roll signs to them that included "179 Street", "34-6 Ave.", "Smith-9th Sts."(in addition to "Forest Hills-Queens", plus "GG Local") and "Church Ave.", but no designation for any other IND route, including even for the "F". -William A.
