Pitkin is a good idea.

Underground storage too. But graffiti would be a problem.

I never saw them on the LL (I left NYC in late August 1976). Did ride them on EE and GG. Maybe they got transferred to ENY later in 1976 (since Jamaica was getting in R-46). Speaking of EE, my last full day as a NYC resident (8/27/76) was the last day of service for the EE (and the K, and the E going to Brooklyn during peak hours).

They only did one with an R-42 end bonnet. The problem with overhauling the R-1s with a transverse cab and provision for OPTO was the staggered doors and the offside front door had to be moved out of the way to allow for an offside cab window and it was found to be too costly.

The R-16s didn't receive new door engines till after the R-44s were delivered in the mid 1970s and the MTA felt that the R-44’s door engines were superior to the original equipment on the R-16s. Why the R-12s through 15s which had the same door equipment as the 16s didn’t seem to experience the same trouble I don’t know.

I thought I saw an R10 photo with an R42 bonnet, and an R16 rebuild that had a modified steel end, amd some butchering of the doorways and windows so as to accommodate a full width cab.

I doubt any of them saw service.

I noticed that many R-17s on the IRT had the inside panel with the “emergency” glass replaced with just a solid panel probably removed from the R-21s or 22s which despite being newer were scrapped ahead of the R-17s.

Yet the R12-R15 ran outdoors on the #7 for 15 years just as long as the R16 did initially on the Jamaica line. Differing door performance just made no logical sense.

Interesting about the doors.

Maybe an R-16 has more doors therefore a greater chance for a malfunctioning door.

Someone good at math could better explain it.

The doors motors simply sucked.

One Xmas eve in the mid-1960's, with my folks coming back from Northport around 10pm, with a few inches snow, we got to the Sutphin Bld el staion to head home to Woodhaven Blvd. It took about a half hour. About 2 or 3 door leaves per car functioned, and it took forever to get a door indication. We were in the first car, and we squirmed out of a single leaf door with packages that could only open about half way.

I remember that trip like it was a couple of years ago.

I could be wrong. Maybe I saw the R-16 on the GG. When we lived in Ridgewood we took a lot of LL and GG places.

As the 1960's became the 1970's, they migrated from the RR to the EE and GG. As the Arnines were scrapped, the R16's went back there. As they fell apart, R32's had to fill in until the GOH era. Saw them many a time laid up on the tracks east of Queens Blvd station, with bumper block just west of Sutphin.

You’re correct. The R-16 had a reconstructed end bonnet, but even with that, the off side door still had to be moved back to provide for an OPTO ready transverse cab.

Wrong.
They rebuilt an R10 with a 42 end cap.
It was ridiculous looking and I'm glad they weren't serious about it.

Again, the GOH R16 sported a bonnet different from anything on the road.
It retained its headliner,but doorway was now flush like the 75fters,no sliding into a pocket.
No pantagraph gates,headlights were recessed and a new R42 like rollsign was placed on the left side.
The model sported a giant blue A bullet.

The car body had modifications made,like you said,to car body, the doors in particular, to give it a full cab.

Basically, the Modified R16 became a 60ft R46,and would have worked if not for a few things.

The Rebuilt was expensive.
It was TOTAL.
THE R16 WERE OVERWEIGHT.
AC MADE THEM EVEN HEAVIER.

MORE SO, you might as well buy brand new cars for the cost of rebuilding these.

The TA had its heart in the right place.
But the 16s couldn't be saved.

The 10/27/30 did manage to get a rebuild program so they could last a few more years.

The 68s replaced the 16 COMPLETELY,along with the 10,27 and some 30s. Ppl

When snow was in the forecast, the R-16s were sent underground to the Lonesome Larry and the BMT standards trudged outdoors to battle the elements on the Curly and Moe lines.

In that same time period, me and my friends would hop the train and go joy riding, and whenever we would transfer from the A at Broadway Junction, we would go upstairs and the LL always had those round port windows that we used to see on the IRT trains. We would take it to Canarsie and back to Union Square, where our R32 Sea Beach awaited us up the stairs.

Our routine on Saturday afternoons frequently included transferring at Union Square from those mean, ugly old BMT standards on the Lonesome Larry to the BMT Broadway line for a nice, brisk express sprint on an R-32 or on occasion, R-27/30, N train to 34th St., continuing on to Times Square. The thing I remember most is how those Larry trains would EMPTY at Union Square. People just poured out.

Union Square is often overlooked but it is one of the busiest stations on the system. In fact it was fourth out of 424 stations in number of passengers served in 2019. Only 34th St.-6th Ave, Grand Central-42nd St, and Times Square-42nd St. served more. I used it many times in my days attending Stuyvesant High School transferring to and from the Lousy Local as we called it. The ugly old Standards disappeared in the famous summer of 1969 and were replaced by former IND R1-9 cars which somehow looked out of place there.

Those R-7/9s were a welcome sight on the Larry. Funny thing, I rode them more times on that line than on all IND routes combined.

I guess they moved 'em to Fresh Pond simply because they had no place else to store a lot of cars long term. They probably just didn't bother to change the signs from the last route they ran on.

The last time I recall O/S cars being stored underground was in late 1976 when the K Line was eliminated , the GG shortened and the R-4s and R-6s were laid up on the S/B exp tk N/O Church Av on the F. I was the AM T/D there at the time and every day a train or two would leave the layup area for CIYd and scrapping. Eventually the R-7s and 9s ended up there as well.
