It was only the PM RR Bankers’ Special that was labeled as an S for 2 equally stupid reasons. In it’s infinite wisdom, the NYCTA suits, insisted that the Manhattan trunk line be included on the roll signs and on the R-32s and up, the branch line was completely eliminated thus all the BMT Southern Div services only read "Broadway” additionally, there was no single letter R sign included which would have properly described the AM bankers specials that went via Nassau St. That is why the letter M for Nassau St Exp was used for both the Brighton and 4 Av Bankers specials. Although the PM 4 Av Bankers specials original ran exp S./B in the PM rush, by the time the R types were assigned to the line, only the AM specials ran exp and the PM specials ran lcl. With the side signs on the R types and especially the R-32s reading for “Broadway,” the trains couldn’t even be signed for RR and nobody wanted to use any of the other Nassau St Lcl signs so the only alternative was to use the S since those trains were sort of “specials.' |
