One thing puzzles me since you mentioned the "thrify and expense conscious" IRT. If the IRT did not want to go to the expense of re equipping its el rolling stock with paddle type shoes, why did it go to the expense of installing 2 types of 3rd rail in dual operation areas? It seems to me that it would have been cheaper to have only el type 3rd rail which could have been used by both subway and el equipment on those lines as the BMT did. |
