When the Rockaway Div first opened in 1956, shuttles carried either "A or "E signs depending on which through service was operating to the Rockaways at the time. When the late trainmaster George Abere was Rockaway Div M/M, he suggested to the then AGS of the Transportation Dept Leo Cusick that since neither shuttle was either a true A or E train that the HH/Fulton St Lcl signs unused since the cessation of the original HH service in 1946 be used. Mr Cusick agreed and sometime circa 1960, HH became the designation for the Rockaway Shuttles. The original HH/Fulton St Lcl was supposed to operate between Court St and ENY but only operated as a single track shuttle between Court and Hoyt from 1936 to 1946. Although some of the iND 1948 service guides which showed the IND operating to Euclid, showed the Court to ENY service, the shuttle was abandoned before the IND was even extended from Rockaway Av to ENY. |
