Re: 30 years ago - 1972 Vignelli NYC subway map release

My family has accumulated quite a number of old maps like these, simply by saving them over the years. But I'm a buyer, not a seller. So they can be a last resort if I run out of money!

So I see the QJ / KK skip-stop was setup then. Did skip-stop get used all the way up until when the Z was born? Does anyone know any other configurations that were used?

Also, can anyone comment on the A line? The description of the line on the map is vague from a railfan point of view. Exactly how much through service to the Rockaways was there? Was it mainly that most or all of the A trains went to Lefferts when the E was running? Did the A or E ever use the single track connecting B 67 and B 90 on a regular basis? What were nights like?

Thanks in advance!
