Posted by randyo on Tue Nov 19 17:45:55 2019, in response to Re: [PHOTO] Re: Tuscarora Almanac for November 15, posted by Joe V on Mon Nov 18 18:18:22 2019. As I mentioned in my other post the J/JJ, KK, L, LL, (some of the R-27/30s had readings for both a 14 St Lcl and Exp) and M which were intended for use on the Eastern but not used until post Chrystie. All the Eastern readings except for the LL were Manhattan centric and read only “Nassau St” completely ignoring the branch line readings even on the 27/30s which still kept the branch readings for the Southern. I recall one afternoon in early 1967, the Jamaica Line was short a train and a spare train of R-32s was available and brought up from CIYd by a board crew to cover the interval. I was anxious to see what sort of signage was going to be displayed and was disappointed to see that the signs displayed “Q/Broadway Exp” rather than J. Apparently it never occurred to anyone in CIYd to check for a more appropriate reading especially since they had to have been aware of the existence of a J reading when changing signs to get to the M reading that was in use at the time. |
