Re: [PHOTOS] More R - 4 6' s

They look more likely to be the IRT R-12/14's instead, because they have eight vents per side on their ogee roof top exteriors, as I had counted them. The R-10's had seven of them however.

True, but I see an R 10 with (CC) in the route sign box. I guess that R 10 & R 46's were at that shop for some kind of work. I am thinking that R 46 was their for work because CI Shops was busy with R 46 & R 44 truck swaps.

Ah, yes! I see that R-10 train now. Was this during the period (1980-1981) when they were briefly seen and assigned in regular service on the "LL", as I recall riding one of them going Manhattan-bound from Canarsie?

I can’t see what the problem at Alabama would be since the tracks are not next to each other as they are by the Willy B.

Could be......possibly because of the Rockwell truck fiasco ?

The original idea was an Expanded IRT sized car of 65-67ft,simular to the original R62 design car.

Thank you for your explanations. Here is a partial photo of that IRT "stretch" car. (May 1985)

The R10 Farewell pamphlet said the several sets of R10's were on the J and L for some weeks. It may have been to back-fill for R16's, which were all basket cases by then, but I don't know.

Very interesting. Wonder how much of the IRT was actually capable of handling a 65-foot car?

South Ferry and City Hall would have caused a problem. :)
