Yes, down to the minute.

When they extended the Brighton Express to Astoria (same time that the Brighton Local went to Forest Hills) there were boards on each NB express station, specifying exactly when express trains began and ended service.

The BMT also had signs in some locations which had a split flap that could be raised and lowered. The one I remember best was at Prospect Park SB, where the sign usually said "TRAINS TO BRIGHTON BEACH AND CONEY ISLAND" with the arrow pointing to A3 track. When the Brighton-Franklin ran it simply said "CONEY ISLAND TRAINS" with arrows pointing to both A1 and A3 tracks.

Kind of like a primitive Solari board.
