The Astoria Line was originally an IRT line that the BMT had trackage rights on. That’s why Ditmars and Beebe were both US&S. In fact, even though the BMT got the Astoria Line exclusively in 1949, signal maintenance was done by IRT personnel as late as 1967 when I became Tw/M there. While the IRT as a private company used US&S equipment exclusively, the BMT had a few US&S interlockings in various places like Kings Hwy/Brighton, Marcy, and Fresh Pond just to name a few. |
