In 1959 after Feb , the max length trains run on the Bway Lcl were 8 cars. Passengers were advised at Rector St to move to the first 4 cars of the train to get off at So/Fy. Prior to Feb 6 all the trains on the lcls serving So/Fy were 5 cars mostly Lo-Vs with a few R types in prep for the service change. Late PMs and weekends the Lex went into the Ferry and in that case the passengers would have to be advised to go to the first 5 cars of the train and announcements should have been made by the supervision at Bowling Green or the platform C/Rs on duty at that station who were assigned there to lookout the center doors on the Lo-Vs going into the station. You didn’t mention whether she was coming from the west side or the east side which would give an indication of the type of equipment she might have been on. On weekends when the Bway lcls were operating 6 car trains the C/R positions were set at 5 cars south and 6 cars north so that only the passengers in the rear car had to be notified. When the trains returned to V/C since they were now 5 north and 1 south, the plat C/Rs had to redrum the trains so they would again be 5 south and 1 north. Although I didn’t ride the Lex into So/Fy that much even on weekends but I assume a similar situation existed with those trains as well. |
