Posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Sep 28 09:30:09 2025, in response to [PHOTOS] Odds & Ends Of The IND Subway, posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Sep 21 09:55:32 2025.  In 1971, some IND rolling stock was set aside as museum cars and immaculately restored. Three cars headed by #1440 were in revenue service on the Culver Shuttle seen here at Ft. Hamilton Pkwy. (September 4, 1971)  Stored at Coney Island yard in 1965, R-1 #193 was involved in a catastrophic collision.. If you have any details about this, please respond.  R-1 #331 in a snow storm at Beach 105th St. on the Rockaway Line. (undated photo)  Concourse yard in a winter scene on February 8, 1967  R-4 #491 was retired and became a school car (#SC491) and sat at Jamaica yard for many years. #491 was brought out of retirement and restored and is currently now a member in good standing with the museum fleet. (April 16, 1972)  Wheel truing machine at either 207th St or Coney Island shops. (undated photo)  LIRR Far Rockaway station view towards the future IND Far Rockawy station. At this time all service ended at Wavecrest (Beach 25th St.). The IND Far Rockaway station would open two years later in 1958. (June 30, 1956)  1927 view of the site clearing and construction for the 207th St. yard and shops  Builder's photo of brand new R-7A #1551. (May 17, 1938)  R-4 #567 seen on the new viaduct near the Carroll St. station.  The 168th St. Washington Heights station before opening to the public. (undated photo)  R-7A #1575 in service seen here at Stillwell Ave. Coney Island. Involved in a wreck, was rebuilt to test a new design for the R-10 contract. #1575 was always an oddball and a favorite of rail fans for years. (February 24, 1968)  IND connection to the former Fulton St line and Rockaways about to open for service. Photo was taken on a "C" Type fan trip. (April 22, 1956)  R-4s #484 and #766 were tested for upgrades that included indirect "bullseye" lighting, a P.A. system and unique green paint scheme. This is how #484 looked long before being selected a a museum car. (June 1958)  34th St. and 6th Ave. station before the November 1967 "Christie St." connection that changed BMT & IND service. (undated photo).  R-6-3 #938 leading an (HH) train approaching the Beach 90th St. station. (July 16, 1972)  A 207th St. shops view of R-1 #336 undergoing some kind of repair work involving red lead rust primer paint on parts of the front. If anyone knows the reason for this work, let me know. (August 1960)  R-6-3 #1143 assigned to the (EE) Broadway local at Times Sqaure 42nd St. The "8th Ave" underneath the "EE" was painted over for Broadway subway service. (undated photo)  R-7 #1537 assigned to the (KK) Broadway - 6th Ave service seen here on the Williamsburg Bridge. (September 21, 1968)  And for the last photo, East 105 St. on the (LL) 14th St. Canarsie line. The (KK) train may have been laid up at Rockaway Pkwy yard or was incorrectly signed. Did any (KK) service start at Rockaway Parkway ? That 2 door 1964 Chevy Impala would be popular today. (August 15, 1968)  |
