No to both questions.When the N replaced the EE in 1976, the base service operated via the Manhattan Bridge so that N trains covered the old EE route between Canal Street and 71st-Continental-Forest Hills. In rush hours there were additional N trips to/from Forest Hills that turned at Whitehall Street to give lower Manhattan riders the same service that the EE formerly provided. Those trains turned in the center platform at Whitehall and opened doors on both sides. Believe that these were equipment that stored overnight at Jamaica Yard, and then was laid up midday at City Hall Lower and Canal Street middle tracks. I recall that the N, during peak periods, operated express between Canal and 57th Streets as follows: NB in the AM peak SB in the PM peak |
