Actually, within my time in scheduling, the biggest change I remember on the IRT was the swapping of the south terminals between the 2 and the 3 and along with that swapping the south terminals of the 4 and 5. Prior to 1983, the 3 ran between 148 and Flatbush during the hours it operated and on midnights the 4 operated into Flatbush along with the 3s during rush hours and to Atlantic middays and Utica on late PMs and weekends other than midnights. The 2 operated 24/7 to N/Lts and the 5s operated to Utica during rush hours, and Bwlg Grn middays, post rush PMs and weekends except for midnights when it did not operate at all. the swapping of the 2 and 3 was necessitated by the reassignment of the car maintenance and inspection away from 240 Barn the N/Lts so by making the 3 a N/Lts service when it was operated, it was easier to get the 3 Line equipment to its proper maintenance facility. As originally planned, the 4 and 5 were to remain mostly unchanged except that the 4 would run the N/Lts on the midnight instead of Flatbush and then go to Flatbush for the rush. However, that would have given the 4 four south terminals not including Bwlg Grn where some trains turned during rush hours. I recommended sending the 5 into Flatbush during the hours the 4s ran there and sending the 4 to Utica except midday when it ran to Atlantic and midnights when it ran to N/Lts. My recommendation was accepted and the present service pattern was established which has since been modified so that 5s run to Flatbush all day till after the PM rush when they continue turning at Bwlg Grn. |
