Posted by SLRT on Wed May 27 14:33:15 2020, in response to Re: Questions about the history of M service (Calling SLRT, Elkeeper, Eric B), posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Wed May 27 12:26:13 2020. In this case Elkeeper answered a question that wasn't asked.The question asked was Do you have sources for the fact that the number 10 was assigned to the service in 1924? The answer is 1924. The PROFF is in the BMT map and subway guide for 1924. His answer was: BMT route numbering first appeared on the first Triplexes on July 23, 1925. The BMT numbering system can be found on page 52 of, A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM- RAPID TRANSIT in BROOKLYN, by Cunningham & DeHart. SOURCES NEEDED-SOURCES NEEDED-SOURCES NEEDED, ad nausium...! In Jeopardy that would the answer: "When did route numbers first appear on BMT equipment." Maybe he shouldn't puff up his feathers so much and call skilled transit historians names. |
