R46 on BMT Eastern Division and the Mystery Behind It

There's been something on my mind I've noticed lately that has caught my attention...

 

So apparently (as most of you here know), there was a fan trip that was held on 7/4/1976, which was the day America celebrated it's 200th birthday. And R46's were used on that fan trip. Making matters even more odd, the R46 set used was on the BMT Eastern Division, even though it is banned from running onto those lines

(since the R46 is 75 feet).

 

The only known photo of an R46 running on one of those lines was this picture:

Other than this, no other photos have surfaced of an R46 running on an Eastern Divison line on the day of the fan trip, which is why this is considered a mystery. 

 

Now, someone offer me an explanation as to why no other photos have made it's way online. 

 

Thank you.
