Posted by W.B. on Sun Apr 22 04:17:13 2018, in response to M-13 Journal Building Bus Line, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Tue Jul 12 11:32:16 2016. It would appear that the M-13 was actually reconstituted, repurposed and rebooted as the Journal Building Omnibus Line in or around 1958. Three things cinch this:- The aforementioned 1955 Hagstrom's map of New York [Manhattan] bus lines and trolley lines, which had both M-13 and M-15 traveling up First and down Second. - The 1957 Fifth Avenue Coach Lines map of FACO and NYCO Division routes - which listed transfers for "M-13 First Avenue" and "M-15 Second Avenue" (apparently they were still known by their pre-one-way-conversion nomenclatures at this late date) and the four other TA bus routes. - The first bus map to mention M-13 Journal Building was the 1958 edition of Hagstrom's map of New York [Manhattan] bus lines. Some years ago, as put up and sold on eBay, also, a front left rollsign (from a Mack? a GM TDH-5106?) which was dated 1958 not only mentioned "M13 Journal Building," but also showed how M15 was redesignated as "First and Second Avenues." |
