Posted by Express Rider on Tue May 26 05:02:39 2020, in response to Re: Questions about the history of M service (Calling SLRT, Elkeeper, Eric B), posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Mon May 25 18:31:30 2020. I'm wondering if there were (and there must have been?) newspaper articles in the Bklyn. Eagle and the NYT that explained the "new" numbering system on the Triplexes front end roll signs when they first began running; as well as in-house articles in the BMT monthly magazine, and company info. memos etc.Also, route numbers might have never caught on, since maybe the "company culture" by 1924-25, then the BMT, continued to refer to these routes by their original southern division names, in spite of the Triplex's roll signs. And in the stations themselves, signage most likely was never revised referring to the Brighton, Sea Beach, West End, Culver & 4th Ave. routes by numbers. |
