Re: R1s-9s

From the 1950's, I was still a child and when I went on the subway with my grandfather, (BMT Standards)he would look down on the Jamaica line at B'way Junction at the marker lights to know if it was a Broadway Brooklyn local. Also in the early 60's the short run LL Myrtle Ave. trains had different marker lights than the Canarsie trains.
When did the TA assign double letters to the Eastern Division (LL's), from the #16 which would have been displayed on the R1-9's or higher, but they did not run on the Canarsie line until the late 1960's. When Chrystie Street opened the double letter for locals was removed.
