Posted by Michael549 on Fri Jan 27 00:14:50 2017, in response to Re: N to 96/2, posted by GojiMet86 on Thu Jan 26 12:56:12 2017. From a previous message:"According to his 96th-Street-bound-(N)-really-should-be-(N)-not-(Q) logic, these (5) trains to South Ferry via 7th Avenue should really be called (5) trains, not (2) trains. And the (2) trains running via Lexington should be signed up as (2), not (5)." 1) You are off-base and your conclusion is so very, very wrong. 2) Having trains that terminate at Dyre Avenue and that travel along the West-side IRT called #2 is an ACTUAL HISTORICAL PATTERN. That was the very first pattern and destinations of #2 trains with the opening of the Dyre Avenue segment in the early 1960's. 3) Having trains that traveled from the Bronx and that traveled along the West-side IRT that end at South Ferry called the #2 is also an HISTORICAL PATTERN! It was usually reserved for the midnight hours - but it existed. 4) Having trains that traveled from 241st Street-White Plains Road and along the Lexington Avenue line called the #5 IS AN ACTUAL HISTORICAL PATTERN. Until the mid/late 1950's with the Bronx Park East terminal open (where #2 trains ended) and #5 trains traveling to/through the newer East 190th Street station and along White Plain Road - so yes, the #5 route "owned" the White Plains Road line - except midnight hours and the midnight hours closing of the Bronx Park East terminal just north of the West Farms station. 5) Sorry, but having #5 trains travel from 241st Street or 238th Street along White Plains Road, along Lexington AVenue and then through Brooklyn HAS BEEN AN ESTABLISHED HISTORICAL PATTERN FOR DECADES! 6) Having N-trains that terminate at 57th Street-Seventh Avenue is an extremely long time well established historical pattern. As well as having Q-trains, QB-trains, and trains that travel the Brooklyn Brighton or West End lines terminate at 57th Street-Seventh Avenue is an extremely long time well established historical pattern (yellow B and D trains, etc). 7) The barely a month old Second Avenue subway segment is really no different than any other newly opened segment of the subway system. Why all of the deceit about "N-trains with Q-train labels uptown - but N-train signage downtown" is just silly - with the reasonings offered border on more silliness. Mike |
