I forgot about this in my list of all the BMT ones I could think of. Another IRT one is 96/Bway. Up until the early 1950s or so, midnight 145/Lenox shuttles terminated there turning back on a tail switch S/O the station between tks 2 and 3 which was removed when the platforms were lengthened. Before the yd lead from 207 St on the Bway Line to 207 Yd, a few AM #1s went O/S at 96 St and went light to 239 Yd to be washed. Also, don’t forget Qnsbro Plaza during the days of joint BMT/IRT operation when the steel trains of the BMT subway turned from N/B to S/B and el car shuttles turned from S/B to N/B. According to some old timers I worked with, the Manhattan els also had a few locations where mainline trains connected with shuttles during midnight hours. Mainline S/B 3 Av El trains terminated at Canal St and a midnight shuttle ran between Canal and So/Fy. N/B mainline trains terminated at Fordham Rd and connecting shuttles operated between Fordham and 241 St. Back to the BMT, the Culver had mainline trains from Manh terminating at K/Hwy with connecting el car shuttles to Stl and the West End had a similar set up at Bay Pky. |
