Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sun Nov 1 07:14:42 2026 Tuscarora Almanac for November 1 1881 – from The Book of First Runs Sixth Avenue El service is extended from Rector Street to South Ferry over the tracks of the Ninth Avenue El from Battery Park South. 1906 – from The Book of First Runs The city takes over the operation of the Whitehall Street – 39th Street (Bklyn) Ferry. This service had been run since 1887 by the New York and South Brooklyn Ferry Company. The first run under municipal ownership used the MINEOLA which was on charter from the Union Ferry Company. Service on this route will continue until 1938. 1937 – from The Book of Last Runs Service on the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway is cut back from Port Chester to North Avenue station in New Rochelle. 1962 – from The Book of First Runs Operation of ten car trains on the No.7 Flushing during the rush hours begins today. This was made possible by the transfer of fifty R-17’s (6500-6549) from the mainline. Usually the R-17’s run in solid trains but occasionally they are mixed with the R-14’s and R-15’s. This is the first time that the IRT has run ten car trains with only one conductor. 1967 – from The Book of First Runs The first two R-40’s, 4350-4351, are delivered to the NYCTA on this date. They are placed on public display at the 34th Street – 6th Avenue station in Manhattan. This was done to win support for a transportation bond issue. The cars were not yet completed and were shortly returned to the Saint Louis Car Company. The interior roll sign displayed a fictitious “E” line running between from GRAND to EUCLID. The R-40 Car Class consisted of 400 cars coupled into 200 married pairs. The road numbers were 4150-4549. The cars were divided into three configurations and were not delivered in numerical order 2017 – from The Book of First Runs On or about this date the New York-New Jersey Rail LLC takes delivery of the first of two railroad car floats. The new float, NYNR-100 is 370 feet long and can hold 18 sixty foot rail cars. They will be placed in service on the car float ferry between Greenville, New Jersey and 65th Street in Brooklyn.
