R16 (New York City Subway car)

The R16 was a New York City Subway car manufactured by American Car and Foundry Company from 1954 to 1955 in a kale green paint scheme. The R16s were numbered 6300–6499, and were retired in the late 1970s up through 1983.

History

First placed into passenger service on January 10, 1955 on the BMT #15, (now J). 50 of the R16 cars (6300-6349) were transferred to the A line in preparation for the opening of the former Long Island Rail Road's IND Rockaway Line on June 28, 1956. The Transit Authority wished to use its newest equipment available for the line's inaugural. After the late 1950s, the 50 R16s were returned to the BMT Eastern Division and would remain there until the late 1960s and the early 1970s when they were transferred to various lines throughout the system. During the 1970s, R16's could be found intermixed with other cars and in far away places from their previous running grounds. Photos of R16's in the Bronx or Queens show them both in complete consists as well as with strange bedfellows.

Gift

A gift or a present is an item given to someone without the expectation of payment. An item is not a gift, if that item, itself, is already owned by the one to whom it is given. Although gift-giving might involve an expectation of reciprocity, a gift is meant to be free. In many countries, the act of mutually exchanging money, goods, etc. may sustain social relations and contribute to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy. By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other happier or less sad, especially as a favor, including forgiveness and kindness. Gifts are also first and foremost presented on occasions - birthdays and Christmas being the main examples.

Presentation

In many cultures gifts are traditionally packaged in some way. For example, in Western cultures, gifts are often wrapped in wrapping paper and accompanied by a gift note which may note the occasion, the recipient's name, and the giver's name. In Chinese culture, red wrapping connotes luck. Although inexpensive gifts are common among colleagues, associates and acquaintances, expensive or intimate gifts are considered more appropriate among close friends, romantic interests or relatives.
