Posted by Michael549 on Tue Nov 25 00:11:52 2014, in response to Re: Subway Planning, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Nov 24 23:03:35 2014. In the 1970's the QB was a rush-hours only express from 57th Street to Brighton Beach (at first), and then Coney Island, express in Manhattan over the Manhattan Bridge, and all-local stops on the Brighton line. At first this version of the QB was paired with the QJ, and quickly paired with the blue M-train (that replaced the QJ, then the color black or dark grey on the subway maps of the time) on the Brighton line. On the subway maps of the time, the QB was a red-diamond, while the N-train was a yellow circle. On the subway maps of the time the Brighton line had the blue M-train, the red QB-trains, and orange D-trains. Yes, this was the time period when each subway route had their own distinct color - when though some colors were repeated on another division. (Both the #6 train and the N-train were yellow, then.)In a box somewhere, I have the folded pocket train schedules given out in the 1970's, where on the M-train schedule the QB trains were listed. Those schedules are very interesting to ride. In was in the 1960's prior to the Chrystie Street merger of the IND/BMT lines that the QB and QT train routes existed. Mike |
