Posted by SLRT on Tue Jan 5 14:01:37 2016, in response to Re: Service Patterns, posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue Jan 5 13:10:23 2016. Dealing with the a.m. service as an example. The QJ only operated when the D operated express on the Brighton Line, the same as the former QT Brighton Local. The equipment for the northbound RJ had to get to 95th Street somehow, so what would have been JJs (to Broad Street) became RJs (to 95th Street) so they could return north as the desired rush hour service.So what I'm saying is those RJs ran in the time before the QJ was to begin running; therefore they were actually equipment moves that also carried passengers, not a particularly useful service. To give a different perspective, before Christie Street, 4th Ave. and Brighton "Banker's Specials" (as they were then known) and West End Short Line trains didn't terminate in the Nassau Loop but had to go to an outer terminal. So a train would go through the loop, and then return to Brooklyn, maybe as a West End Local, or a Brighton train (picking up its first passengers at deKalb southbound) or even go to East New Yard (light) to layover for the evening rush. That was why you may see a picture of a Triplex in DO yard. I hope I made that halfway clear. |
