They toyed with the idea during the Jamaica Yard Crisis in 1966, but AFAIK they never did. Instead, 32 R-16s were borrowed and assigned to the GG, with new route and destination signs spliced in. The ripple effect continued, as a group of condemned standards were pulled off the scrapline and put back in revenue service, mostly during rush hours on the Broadway-Brooklyn Local - with the S for Scrap painted over.My BMT standard signbox has a GG LOCAL sign in its route curtain. |
