One standard car for the whole system (until the R10), all platforms full-length, all flying junctions, all subway (almost) and a designation system that would make the USSR jealous:A, B, E -- 8th Avenue Line C, D, F -- 6th Avenue Line G and H -- Lines that didn't enter Manhattan A and C -- Washington Heights B and D -- Concourse E and F -- Queens Line Single letter Local Double letter express A little messier south of West 4th and of course all single letters, Christie Street and the B and C swap made all hell break loose. |
