In the early 1960s. the reason that 14 and 23 were listed as express stops is there were no express tracks on 6 Av and all the trains that stopped there were express trains. A similar situation actually exists on the Bkln IRT where trains served by 7 Av trains were shown as lcl stations and trains served by Lex Av trains were the express stations even though both 7 Av and Lex trains were actually expresses. The Fulton IND had its stations similarly marked even though until the CC started to run to Bkln, all services operating along Fulton St were expresses in Manhattan. |
