Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Mon Dec 22 07:40:06 2025 Tuscarora Almanac for December 22 1978 – from The Book of Last Runs The last R-46 subway car, 1216 is finally delivered to the NYCTA. The 754 cars in the R-46 order where built by the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company. Due to a strike the delivery of the entire order took over three years. Trivia: Two of the R-46’s , possibly 813 and 816 made a side trip to Venezuela before entering subway service. Ed.Note: Now we are at the point were the R-46 are running off their last miles on the subway system. 1979 – from The Book of First Runs The Metropolitan Atlanta Regional Transit Authority opens its first rapid transit line. It is the East-West Rapid Rail Line and runs between Georgia State and Avondale stations. 1986 – from The Book of First Runs A new passageway known as the West End Concourse opens at Pennsylvania Station. It serves tracks 13 through 19 and connects to the 8th Avenue subway. |

Yes, because Platform 11 (Tracks 20 & 21) was originally 8 cars long and did not extend westward to the new West End concourse. The extension did happen, but later.The West End Concourse has since been rebuilt to accommodate access to and from Moynihan Station. |

I did not start using that Concourse until after the platform extension. They did a nice job connecting it to Moniyhan and they added another waiting room for LIRR passengers in the expanded West End Concourse. |

The Book of Last Runs- The 3rd Ave El's South Ferry spur ends service between Chatham Square and South Ferry. This is the second or third time that I have posted this, over the years! |
