Re: Tuscarora Almanac for March 12

I never heard of that service. Do you know anything else about it?

It began running on April 22, 1964. Trains would leave from Hoyt-Schmerhorn Streets about every half-hour from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM. They ran non stop over the Crosstown and Queens Blvd. express track to Roosevelt Avenue where passengers would transfer to the Flushing Line. The trains would them dead head to Forest Hills and go into regular "GG" service.
No return service was offered except for regular "GG" trains.

The service was poorly advertised and not well patronized. It was discontinued on either May 6 or 7, 1964.
