Re: Tuscarora Almanac for February 20

Why any of the 400 R-10's 800 air horns were never relocated and repositioned is unknown.

Looking at a comparison between those and the R-12/14's (they had 500 of them between the 250 cars in total), I believe that the BOT/NYCTA would had to make some more extra work to have possibly a slightly extra squared wrapround piping installed between the remounted position and the roof opening, avoiding blocking the "EXP" light box over the cab. On the R-12/14's, it was surprising a basically that a straight pipeline was installed on them.

I cannot answer about the mainline RR locomotives (it is not my niche there), and and yet there were 30 R-10's that were sent to the BMT Eastern Division in November 1954. You got me on that one, though.
