As it was noted in the "Farewell to the R-10" fan trip brochure for the ERA excursion, as researched and authored by George Chaisson Jr. (widecab5)...By May 1980, the R-10's were becoming noticeable on the N occasionally, no doubt as a spin-off from their GG rush hour service, and a few train sets were still hanging in on the A. An assignment list from July 30 has R-10's on the CC and GG (as usual, with a handful also on the A. They were no longer reported on the N, however. I will say from my memory and recall, the R-10's were all over place in 1980 on the IND-BMT Division, on the "A", "D", "E", "F" and "GG". I rode them on all the lines mentioned, even on the "B" occasionally too. And then in late 1980-early 1981, some of them popped up on the JFK Express, Aqueduct Special, the "J" and "LL". You can credit or blame the R-46 truck fiscao for the shifting of the R-10's being everywhere! -William A. Padron ["a.c.f."] |

It’s not so much that the R-10s never ran on the N but that they were never officially assigned there only running on the rare occasions when a train was needed. |

I think the only route I've never seen a pic of them on was the J (I know they were on the old 15), besides the 1976 Fan Trip.But I will absolutely take your word they ran there :) |

On the West End B and M in 1986-87. 1 was pre-GOH and 1 was post. Mostly, we had horribly dilapidated Pre-GOH Slants on the B at the time. |

Nelson Sullivan has an excellent video of a trip from 34h Street to CI on a beat up Slant in 1987. I was surprised to learn that beat-up trains were so easy to find in 1987 (except for R16s/21s/22s/27s) |

The R-10's were basically relegated to the "C" and "H" during the period of 1986-1987 as you had stated, so that would be quite a rarity if any of them went outside of the assignment pool runs based out of Pitkin or Concourse Yard, including on the West End "B" and "M" routes.Of course, they were on the "B" (West End) during the late 1960's and 1970's, but any R-10's that were assigned from Jamaica Yard had left there between April 28 and May 16, 1985, them being sent to Concourse and Pitkin. During that time, it was basically 246 R-10's still in service, with 110 WH GOH'd units in separate trains, 126 GE and 10 WH non-GOH units on the active roster. According to the 1989 farewell fantrip brochure, during late March 1987 saw the beginning of the end of the non-GOH units, with the first three cars #3240, #3261 and #3317 removed from service on March 27, 1987. By October 31, 1988, that number dwindled down to a mere 43 cars from the non-GOH WH & GE units. The green R-10 fantrip on Sunday, June 8, 1986 did operate on the Culver, West End and Myrtle Avenue routes, with possibly their only appearance ever on Myrtle. The final run of the non-GOH cars occurred on November 10, 1988. [Source: "Farewell to the R-10 - October 29, 1989 - Electric Railroaders' Association", fantrip brochure.] -William A. Padron ["(C) 8 Avenue Local"] |

Conaboy and I were both trainmasters in the early 1980s before he passed away shortly after responding to a smoke condition. My argument about being forced to take the same train back would have been that had I refused to take it, the T/D at Ctl would have charged me with insubordination. |

During that same time period beat-up R10s appeared on the 'F' train. One morning to my horror a dilapidated R-10 pulled into 18th Avenue instead of the usual lovely R46. This was during the time when R46s were being pulled because of the cracked trucks crisis. |

On the flip side, during the R-46 truck fiscao, when I riding on an R-10 "F" train going up 6th Avenue, a rider, who was so used to having to ride those new 75-footers on the QBL (partially on the sidelines at the time), had commented as he got on board at 47th-50th that he thought that the R-10 train he was stepping into looked like it came out of mothballs.

Those cars ran on the A for such a long time that many people came to associate them with that route for years after they were shifted to other lines when the A got new R44 cars in the 1970s. There were a couple of incidents with those cars soon after delivery but the disruption wasn't nearly as bad as with the R46 defective trucks which also caused some R16 cars to be taken out of storage and put back on the road. Some of them were in worse condition than the R10s. |

By then the line was all new 142's. Red birds ran on the 4 and 5 lines. But the 6 had to borrow one, just one train, a red bird, from the 5 line, every single day. Since 6 line customers were so used to new trains, they were confused by the presence of a red bird on their line and would hold the doors, check signs, ask the crew.......before getting on. This little bit of confusion usually caused the train to lose time and be late. |

They were tailor-made for that line. The smartest move ever made by the BoT was to assign them to that line. |

I was already shccked that an R-46 consist showed up on the S/B CC at Tremont Ave, then shortly after the S/B D arrived on the express track which was a R-44 consist. While riding to midtown... If I hadn't seen enough shockers for that morning.... While at 7th Ave... An R-10 consist on the E suddenly thundered into the station. |

Before I knew about contract numbers, I referred to the R-10 as "Air Vents on the A" 🙂 (drawing from my IRT experience, where the R-12s and R-14s were referred to by me as "Air Vents". Back then, they were indeed almost all on the A, with a set that turned up on the B during rush hours, and in the later days before I left NYC (August 1976) on the CC once that line lost its Arnines) |

The BoT decided as a final solution, after deciding as to where they would go on their initial route assignments (and how many cars were needed in such as a case), and when realizing the Pitkin Avenue extension was about to open in the future (it did in late November 1948), was to send all the new R-10's out first to the "A", and make it the "showcase" line of the system.They basically managed to be on the "A", plus the "AA" and "BB" (the Washington Heights-based routes) within their first sis years or so in operation, and then, their first foray into the BMT came in November 1954 when 30 of them (GE cars #3320-3349) went over to the Eastern Division. -William A.

I remember most of that.During that time,the LL received most of those R10 cars.. along with the R16. The J received All the R16 available from the south and CC line..as well as the Rockaway Park storage units. The R10 cars didn't stick around too long... being replaced with R40s R27 R30 R32, even some R38s. The Eastern Division was a hodgepodge of everything that could make service. |

And they still managed to have a few R-10 sets here and there on the "A" well into the early 1980's. Also, a few rush hour put-ins from Concourse Yard had some of the R-10's, including those green-painted GOH units, in "A" service between 125th Street and Euclid Avenue during the Williamsburg Bridge shutdown of 1988.-William A.

Yup.The south was totally R32, with cars split between the B/D/N..with some doing stints on the QB/QJ/M/F lines when needed The R38S/40/40m were the cars that broke up the 32 domain. The 40s basically became the F train. The 38s took over N service.. The D became the home of the R32. Later,the 44 pushed the 32s back to Broadway. The 38 went to the West End. 40s ran wherever they were needed..with the A line calling . The A LINE was covered with R40s..the D had the R40m/42 mixed mess... while Queens had the 46s. |

I hope I'm not asking too much, but do you have the numbers for those GE R10s that were left by 1985? I also wonder if the GOH R38s and the GE R27s are what replaced those non overhauled R10s between 1987-1988. |
