Posted by William A. Padron on Sun Aug 1 20:31:11 2021, in response to R-10's on the (N) ?, posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Aug 1 19:40:43 2021. I second that to that statement. As it was noted in the "Farewell to the R-10" fan trip brochure for the ERA excursion, as researched and authored by George Chaisson Jr. (widecab5)...By May 1980, the R-10's were becoming noticeable on the N occasionally, no doubt as a spin-off from their GG rush hour service, and a few train sets were still hanging in on the A. An assignment list from July 30 has R-10's on the CC and GG (as usual, with a handful also on the A. They were no longer reported on the N, however. I will say from my memory and recall, the R-10's were all over place in 1980 on the IND-BMT Division, on the "A", "D", "E", "F" and "GG". I rode them on all the lines mentioned, even on the "B" occasionally too. And then in late 1980-early 1981, some of them popped up on the JFK Express, Aqueduct Special, the "J" and "LL". You can credit or blame the R-46 truck fiscao for the shifting of the R-10's being everywhere! -William A. Padron ["a.c.f."] |
