Posted by Express Rider on Mon May 18 09:02:56 2020, in response to Re: Canarsie Line, posted by Elkeeper on Sun May 17 20:34:21 2020. Oh, OK.By the time I was riding R-10s* (mid 1960s), they had the '63, '64, or '65 TA maps in them. I think I've seen the one you're referring to though.** The map you are referring to was a Hagstrom right? With an oblong rectangular shape. The IND lines were thick red with all stations listed? The IRT and BMT route lines, were much thinner (IRT-Blue, BMT-yellow). On these latter, all stations were shown with the little round circles, but maybe only express stations were listed/named? And adjacent to the map, you described, the IND routes, their letters & terminal stations were listed, corect IIRC? Did the route letters also appear on the maps as well - with the route letters shown at both terminal destinations? I don't remember. *and I knew what they were. **I first saw these division oriented maps in some of the subway cars at the museum***. Then, at one NY Div meeting in maybe 1993 or'94 someone showed up with maps in this style for all three divisions - I was ready to snap them up, but didn't have the cash (he wanted only ten bucks for each one - pre-internet, pre-ebay, hah,hah!) ***In the past, IIRC, the museum was not always consistent about placing historically accurate maps in their subway car collection either. That's a no brainer as far as I was concerned. A museum with their resources (former employees with collections like the museum's founder) should have been able to borrow and color copy maps from the pre-dual contract era, through the late 1940s for gate cars, AB's, Low-V's, Q's, R1-9s, R-10s etc. At various times, the cars, have displayed photocopied maps, of "fair" quality that were almost but not always era-correct. Long post. Thanks for reading, "listening." |
