Posted by randyo on Wed Aug 15 19:21:43 2012, in response to Re: Book of Last Runs - Hail and Farewell to the mighty Standards., posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Wed Aug 15 18:57:16 2012. When the Chrystie reroutes first went in effect, the Jamaica line ran between Jamaica and Brighton Beach ad the Brighton local and the Ds ran as Brighton expresses till the locals stopped running, Since the D ran to Stl full time, this presented Xover problems N/O BBC. Back to the Jamaica Line, the Jamaica/Brighton service was called "QJ" and terse were certain jamaica intervals that operated between Jamaica and 95 St which carried the designation "RJ" and operated only during the rush hours. Both rush hour Bway Bkln lcls and Jamaica trains operating to Broad St after QJs stopped running daily and on weekends carried the designation "JJ." When 57/6 opened, the JJ was eliminated entirely and Bway Bkln lcl service was provided by rush hour KKs operating between Jamaica and 57/6 with some putins and layups originating and terminating at E/Pky, Atlantic and Canarsie. Qjs were extended to Stl when they operated on the Brighton Line and Ds were terminated at BBC when they operate express and ran to Stl, when they ran lcl on the Brighton. At the same time, RJs were eliminated and selected RR rush hour specials operated between 95 St and Chambers St where they laid up midday with some RRs also being laid up N/O Chambers overnight. Although the Chambers St specials carried "RR" route signs, employes in the field continued to refer to them as "RJ Specials." Jamaica trains were removed from the Brighton Line circa 1972 and replaced by Ms, the Jamaica service was simply changed to "J." |
