One of the lines that got the new R 46 cars was the N, unusual since the BMT tended to be the poor stepchild of the B Division when it came to car assignments. The IND got all the new cars, with the BMT mostly getting hand me downs that had come off the prime runs. Nonetheless, the N was assigned some of the new cars, one of which we see here during its layover time at 57 St and 7th Av. The interiors, like those of the R 44s that immediately preceded these, was a departure from the longitudinal seating of the cars of the 50s and 60s. |
