Well, it has been determined that the color photo does show it is indeed a train of R-1/9's, not R-10's as I had originally thought. Many of the earlier Rockaway Line photos, that I have seen from the Railroad Avenue Enterprises collection, that showed the fleet in particular during the first year of operation most likely used R-4's with some R-1's mixed in, or whatever the "E" line car assignment had offered.Now, if you want to see picture images of the R-7 to R-9 cars on the IND Rockaway Line, as they had been seen there during the 1960's-early 1970's, here are some examples... R-7 #1407, Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue ["HH" Train], 9/9/1972. R-7 #1409, North Channel Bridge ["HH" Train], 9/10/1972. R-7 #1498, Rockaway Park Yard, 5/18/1969. R-7 #1518, Rockaway Park Yard, 5/18/1969. R-9 #1662, in vicinity of Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue ["HH" Train], No Date. R-9 #1773, Mott Avenue-Far Rockaway ["HH" Train], September 1966. However, I came across this photo taken in 1957 north of Broad Channel station, and I do believe that this is indeed an R-10 train in use, not an R-1/9 type as labeled in the photo caption. The evidence is that one of the side vents can be seen sticking out of its ogee roof. I will let the reader be the absolute true judge on this one... IND Rockaway Train [R-1/9 or R-10???], 11/29/1957. -William A. Padron ["Mott Av.-Far Rockway"] |
