I never thought that the BMT roll signs should have included the name “Broadway” since many of the Southern Div BMT routes utilized Nassau St as well. BMT signs should have only displayed “Brighton,” "Sea Beach,” “West End,” and "4th Avenue” with the appropriate lcl and exp classifications since with the exception of the Sea Beach, the remaining Southern Div lines had both Bway and Nassau services and the 4 Av should even have included a single “R” for the Nassau bankers’ specials. The lack of appropriate signage forced the TA to use improper signs like “M” for both 4 Av and Brighton services even though the letter “M was clearly intended for the Myrtle/Chambers service on which it was eventually used. The Eastern Div letters of J/JJ, KK, and M should not even have displayed “Nassau St” but rather the Jamaica, Bway Bkln and Myrtle Av readings since in their case, all BMT eastern services other than the 14 St Line operated into Nassau St. It was the Manhattan centric attitude of the cesspool of incompetence that passed (and continues to pass) for TA management and planning that was responsible for the improper signage on the R-27s through 38s! |
