Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Mon Dec 12 16:51:47 2022, in response to Quick Trivia (Re: J line extension to Bay Ridge after Second Avenue subway opens)?, posted by Allan on Mon Dec 12 16:14:02 2022. While we are on the subject of train lengths, many people are not aware that the IND intended to run 11 car trains and built their stations accordingly (660+ feet). There is no indication that I could find in any reference sources that they actually ran 11 car trains (and they did so, it wasn't for very long). Allan: Eleven cars trains were operated during rush hours on both the "E" and "F" lines. This was in effect from September 8, 1953 until on or about September 8, 1958. The eleven cars trains were operated on each line during the rush hours. It was necessary to have a second conductor on these trains since on tall of the platforms were long enough to hold a train of that length. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
