Posted by randyo on Fri Jan 27 16:31:00 2017, in response to Re: N to 96/2, posted by Spider-Pig on Fri Jan 27 08:14:21 2017. As I have mentioned in several posts, most of the line designations are based on the home branch of the line, usually combined with its Manhattan trunk line regardless of the destination at the opposite end of the line. The N was always that Sea Beach whether it ran to T/Sq as it originally did, 57/7, Ctl which it did during the 1970s and 80s or Astoria as it does now and the few that go to 96/2. On the IND end, the D started off terminating at Hudson Terminal, then routed via the Smith St Line in Bkln, then via the Brighton Lina and now via the West End but it is still a D regardless of its south terminals. The E also had multiple terminals over the years and even had different terminals at the same time ranging from Hudson Terminal to Bway/ENY to Euclid, the Rockaways and even a few in the rush hour to Lefferts.but they were still E trains because E meant Queens/Manhattan regardless of the south terminal. |
