No service east of Franklin Av & No (3) service at all., posted by Stef on Fri Apr 18 00:33:21 2014. Makes me wonder if the work being done is at Rogers Junction or nearby.I know in the 70s, they did have a Utica-Newlots shuttle train during mid-day GOs. I rode one once, I think it was an early dismissal day from school, and rather than going home to an empty house until my mother got home from work, I took the 2 to my grandmother's house, who lived near the Newlots station. Boarded at Nostrand, rode to Utica, where we were fumigated and directed downstairs to the northbound platform, where the shuttle train arrived (I guess the other 2 relayed and went back north). Boarded the shuttle and we wrong-railed it until past Junius St. Of course, I was at the railfan window :) Back then, the 4 and 5 always terminated at Atlantic mid-days, so plenty of room for the 2 to relay. Who knows why they won't do it now. |
