Did the downtown E use ever use this lower level platform either exclusively or only during rush hours back in the early days (1933-39)? I've never heard of any kind of E train service to this platform either. Beginning about the time of the opening of the Chrystie Street Line in November 1967 "E" trains would use the lower level platform at 42 Street - 8 Avenue during the rush hours. This practice was discontinued after the PM Rush on April 14, 1975. Route "S" Aqueduct Specials had been using the lower level since about 1959 and continued to do so until 1981 when that service was discontinued. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
