Re: [PHOTOS] June 28, 1956 - New Subway service To The Rockaways

Posted by W.B. on Sat Jun 28 19:06:36 2025, in response to [PHOTOS] June 28, 1956 - New Subway service To The Rockaways, posted by Bill Newkirk on Sat Jun 28 10:05:52 2025.

From what I've been gauging, the type of third rail used on the Rockaway branch in its early decades under TA operation was the same 150 lb. as used on the LIRR - portions of which, ironically, were the basis for the designs of the BMT-IND 150 lb. NMC third rail and the 150 lb. IRT rail as used on Dual Contracts sections of that entity.
