Posted by coneyisl on Wed Oct 8 14:37:39 2014, in response to Re: The QJ service, posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Wed Oct 8 12:45:59 2014. Pure speculation, but the 45 minute gap in QJ service might have been necessitated in order to allow NX trains to terminate at BB although it is not clear whether that was typically on the BB local or the express track. It's also possible that those trains then laid up between BB and Sheepshead Bay on the express track, which would have kept the D from running express northbound out of BB. Once the NX service was done for the evening, several D trains would layup between BB & OP for the night. This would necessitate QJ northbound local service our of CI until D's began to run through to CI. That begs the question as to where the QJs were laid up during the gap. Is it possible that NX trains were re-signed (or "de-signed"). I witnessed trains laying up on the pocket tracks between BB & OP during this time-gap, so it is possible that those were the missing QJs. I sure wish there was an old-timer out there that worked BB Tower back then whom could shed some light on that!!!! |
