However, for the sake of uniformity standardized route descriptions have to be established. However, once you learn the proper terminology and the logic behind it, it’s not confusing at all. The only exception to the “through Bkln enroute to Manhattan is northbound” rule came in with the through routing of the Jamaica Line with the Brighton Line as the QJ. Although by conventional rules the QJ between Jamaica and Broad St was northbound, between Broad St and Stl it was southbound. To eliminate confusion the TA decided to make the entire route southbound between Jamaica and Stl and carried it over when the M was extended into the Southern Division. Th KK which shred the same trackage along Bway Bkln was still northbound since that was its direction in Manhattan. Now with the M being routed along 6th Ave to Ctl, it is once again properly northbound since it is northbound in Manhattan like the KK before it. Now that there is little, if any chance of any through routing between the Eastern and the Southern Div any more, it is only proper to rebadge the J line back to the original, namely northbound to Broad St and southbound to Jamaica. |
