The BoT decided as a final solution, after deciding as to where they would go on their initial route assignments (and how many cars were needed in such as a case), and when realizing the Pitkin Avenue extension was about to open in the future (it did in late November 1948), was to send all the new R-10's out first to the "A", and make it the "showcase" line of the system.They basically managed to be on the "A", plus the "AA" and "BB" (the Washington Heights-based routes) within their first sis years or so in operation, and then, their first foray into the BMT came in November 1954 when 30 of them (GE cars #3320-3349) went over to the Eastern Division. -William A.
