There aren't many showing the station as it was built in the Dual Contracts era. Note that many of the R1 cars shown are from the first batch which didn't have reinforcing plates visible under the door sills. All the later cars had them. They were lent to the BMT after the war due to a shortage of AB Standard cars. A lot of equipment was not in good condition due to heavy use during the war years of gas rationing. As a result the BofT and its successor the TA purchased hundreds of new cars and made a lot of infrastructure improvements in the late 1940s through the 1950s. |
