Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Fri Jan 21 12:59:38 2011, in response to Re: Sea Beach, Culver, Brighton, posted by Ed Alfonsin on Fri Jan 21 12:44:52 2011. The BMT numbers were in use in printed material and were officially re-approved by the Public Service Commission around 1925, with "-Canarsie" added to number 16 around that time. Until R-1s were used in Fourth Avenue service to Astoria, no numbers were used on either IRT or BMT service to Astoria.Ed. Thank you. AS you know when the route numbers were assigned circa 1925 the 14 Street Subway and the Canarsie Line were two physically separate lines. The 14 Street Line ran only between 8 Avenue and Montrose Avenue. The Canarsie Line was operated by the #14 Bway-Bklyn Locals. When the two lines were finally connected in 1928 they were most often referred to as the 14 Street-Canarsie Line. Interestingly the TA now designates all "subway" stations on the 14 Street Line as the "Canarsie" Line. This appears on red signs posted at the end of each platform in the subway stations. Its gives a track diagram with designations and shows the locations of the nearest emergency exits. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
