Posted by ItalianGuyInSI on Sun Jul 2 17:08:25 2006, in response to Re: Lines in 1980, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Jul 2 12:05:05 2006. The N used 4 or 8 60' MUs until around 1986-1987 as I recall (except of course when R46's were assigned; then it would be 4, or 6 MUs as I recall). The only southern division services to use full lenght trains were the D and F. B, N, M and QB used 4 or 8 MUs until 1986-1987.After 1986-1987, the Southern Division began using 10 car trains. There was a City Councilmemeber named Carol Bellamy who was instrumental in getting the TA to expand the number of cars in that same time period. This was also the time that the first rebuilt slants from Sumitomo came for West End service. Gunn was TA honcho at that time and there was a ceremony for the first train of rebuilt cars in April or May 1987 at the 62nd Street BMT Station. I have some old photos; one day I will get around to scanning them. |
