Posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Apr 13 16:27:45 2025 Let's start at the Pullman Standard plant in Pullman, IL. The distinctive blue stripe is yet to be added. #647 was renumbered to #5915 (Feb 18, 1978)  Newly built R-46's being transported seen at Kouts, IN. (March 1976)  At Croxton yard in New Jersey. (June 5, 1977)  R 46's in the Eastern Division, E.R.A. fan trip here at Wyckoff Ave. on the Myrtle Ave line. #1240 was renumbered to #6244 (July 4, 1976)  Arrival of car float at NY Dock Rwy. in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. (June 27, 1976)  Some R-46's were tested on the LIRR, Interchange at Freemont Jct. (April 22, 1975)  On the LIRR at Kew Gardens station. #513 was renumbered to #5947. (April 24, 1975)  While riding the West End line, I caught the delivery of R-46's at 9th Ave. They ran on their own power to Coney Island yard. The R-32 (RR) train was stored at 9th Ave. lower and was a put-in for the rush hour. (July 1978)  Assigned to the (GG) at Smith & 9th Sts. with the "Twin Towers" omnipresent. (October 1967)  The (F) Culver Express switching over at Ditmas Ave. seen at 18th Ave station. (July 1978)  Culver Express switching over at Kings Highway station. (July 1978)  R-44 (D) meets R-46 (F) at Stillwell Terminal Coney Island. The original Rockwell HPT-2 truck clearly seen. #1163 was renumbered to #6155. (October 1978)  The Rockwell truck fiasco resulted in reassignments that sent R-46's to the (CC) seen here at Jay St Boro Hall. (August 15, 1980)  When I took this photo, I'm not sure what line the R-46's were assigned to. Whitehall St station. #907 was renumbered to #5997.(March 1988)  It's the R-46's turn to undergo general overhaul. Location is the Brooklyn Army terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

At 2nd Ave & 39th St some R-46's going out for GOH are coupled to some R-42's that have arrived from Morrison-Knudsen. Yes, they were coupled together and moving. (February 29, 1988)  New York Cross Harbor #21 with R-46's on 1st Ave. Brooklyn just blocks away from the Brooklyn Army Terminal.
