Hmm.No wonder the R1 and D Units are so close in appearance and technology. From what I'm gathering, the D Units were the design models for the R1s, and were considered as The Car for the new line. However, the BOT did it's research, and figured that articulation would be a maintenance nightmare, keeping the cars shopped longer than needed. The BOT designed the R10 for speed power, easy entry and exit. It also designed a car that would be ideal for the road, length wise at 60'6., longer than the IRT car, but shorter than the BMT Standard. Single cars, only. No sets with trailers, every car powered motors to take advantage of the speedy system. |
