Posted by William A. Padron on Sun Jan 16 09:27:01 2022, in response to Re: New Photo Adds - R-1/9's & R-32's In 2021, posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Jan 16 07:50:28 2022. The R-1/9's were being road tested along various IND-BMT Division lines, and being used by new trainees to replace the retired crew members, such as motorman Steve Davis. They would be familiar with operating the cars in service for such events as the NY Transit Museum's Parade of Trains or the Holiday Shoppers' Special.They had been instructed that basically the R-1/9's are NOT SMEE"s! While the road tests had some degree of success, there was that one incident when the cars gave off a huge arc spewing at Essex-Delancey as they must have hit something on the third rail or track. Here are three more images of the R-1/9's taken on the same day, but this time laid up at Fresh Pond Yard.
