To understand railroad directions on the BMT, you need to remember that pre-Unification the BRT and BMT were west-east, not north-south. The west terminals were Park Row/Fulton Ferry and Chambers Street/Broadway Ferry.West became north and east became south. So Metropolitan Ave., Jamaica and Lefferts Blvd. were all East now South terminals. Remember we're talking about railroad directions, not public timetables. If you have any doubt, remember that on the BMT and IND, 1 and 3 tracks are heading railroad south and 2 and 4 are railroad north. This messes up compass directions some, but we're running a railroad, not navigating a ship. |
