Posted by randyo on Thu Mar 23 21:52:01 2017, in response to Re: Fifth Ave el - Upper end Route, posted by SLRT on Thu Mar 23 13:16:09 2017. The usual pattern for the Culver during non rush was 4 Av lcl via tunnel both directions relaying at Chambers St. During AM rush hours Culver lcls ran N/B via the tunnel and returned S/B via the bridge. Culver exps ran N/B via the bridge and S/B via the tunnel bypassing DeKalb in both directions using a unique switch which carried the Culvers from the tunnel into the bypass with the controlling home signal displaying a unique bottom blue aspect. In the PM, N/B Culver lcls ran via the bridge and returned S/B via the tunnel. Culver expresses ran N/B via the tunnel using a similar switch to get from the bypass into the tunnel and returned S/B via the bridge. The switches between the bypass and the tunnel were removed when the Dekalb platforms were extended north and the additional tracks to the Brighton Line added S/O the station. Also removed during the Dekalb realignment were tracks that allowed Brighton trains to access the bypass S/O the station. West End lcls operating into Nassau St followed a similar pattern to the Culvers during rush hours and did not operate middays until sometime around 1960 when the Culver became a full time shuttle between 9 Av and Ditmas. With the elimination of through Culver service, West End was provided middays by lcls to Chambers St and West End expresses operated rush hours only. |
