This look at the original 1930s R1-9 stock for the IND in New York City, in operation every Christmas period (at least until 2019, I don’t think it has been cancelled this year…yet!!) may interest some readers. It runs express from 2nd Ave. in the Bowery along the 6th Ave. IND F to the 47/50th St. Tower and then either continuing along the F to Queens Plaza or up the island via Central Park West to 125th Street on the A/C/D

As to connections between conventionally signaled stock and CBTC trains, Queensboro Plaza in NYC accommodates a connection between the IRT 7 Flushing Line under CBTC and the N / W Astoria lines (ex BMT). CBTC is being installed along the IND 6 Ave. Line to the tower above, but as anyone who knows the complexity of the IND at this point, coworking of new and traditional signaled traffic has to continue. Just a note as to what is possible (at a price).

Anyone wanting to really understand the NY Subway as it functions to day will find Peter Dougherty’s Tracks of the New York City Subway indespensible. Peter’s book is available in both print and pdf. form
