It used to be that lights were to be turned off at the first station in the open after leaving the subway and turned on at the last station in the open before entering the subway. On lined like the Sea Beach the lights were to be kept on since the trains were going in and out of tunnels for the entire route. IRT and BMT prewar equipment lacked trainline control of both heating and lighting so on that equipment the heat and lights remained on at all times. I seem to recall that the Multis had a semi trainline light control that would turn the lights on and off in all cars in the unit and I remember seeing the C/R going between the units to turn the lights on when entering Essex St. |
