I believe the 8th Avenue portion of 'A' train is the longest unchanged continuously running service in the IND/BMT system.Yeah, the "A" opened initially from 207th Street to Chambers Street-Hudson Terminal in the same base 8th Avenue trunk route, with the extension later via the Cranberry Street Tube to Jay Street-Borough Hall coming afterward. It has been there for generations it seems. Of course, from March and October 1933 to April 1936, the "A" went out on the Smith Street line (to Bergen Street and Church Avenue respectively), and after that, was rerouted over the new Fulton Street Line, where even with extensions, it has remained there ever since. By the way, great observation from yours that the Culver Line has seen more years with service from IND Division trains than the BMT had back then. -William A. Padron ["Liberty Junction"] |
