| Once the backbone of the IRT fleet, these Low V cars are now so much steel scrap, having met their end at the 207th St yard. There appear to be some sections of R1/9's as well. The TA was taking delivery of new R 44's at the time; the R 46's would arrive in another two years, and the R 42's had come on line about three years previous, so at this time the older IND and BMT cars were being retired en masse, though some would hang on til the late 70's. |
