Although the MM was never used in service on any trains, 4 AM returning KKs terminated at Metropolitan Av and while not displaying MM signs were in fact MM trains. Actually, a similar anomaly occurred in late 1958 prior to the West Side IRT route realignment of Feb 1959. In the PM rush, there were two 7 Av expresses usually consisting of R-22s that went from N/Lts to 145 St/Lenox. However, these trains did not display a #3 on the end sign but displayed a #2 instead. At the time, the side signs of the IRT SMEEs did not display the route numbers but merely the route and train classification e.g. "Broadway Local," "7th Ave Express" etc. and at back then, IRT trains were not referred to by numbers anyhow but merely by the route name. |
