Re: [PHOTO] Location Identification Needed - Arnines In The East

Posted by Edwards! on Fri Jul 1 03:22:11 2022, in response to Re: [PHOTO] Location Identification Needed - Arnines In The East, posted by William A. Padron on Thu Jun 30 22:04:33 2022.

R1/9 cars were sent over to the east because of the upcoming revision to the Chrystie st rotes,and the surplus cars left over by the introduction of the R40slant cars.

The JJ was the part time route that operated during rush hours,evenings and weekends, when the QJ didn't run. It basically covered the Jamaica line longer than the QJ did in most cases.

The line was rerouted uptown, and renamed KK,while the QJ began operating 24/7 between Jamaica and Broad st,7am to 730 to the extended terminal at Stillwell Ave.

All of this went away a few years later,as the QJ was removed from the Brighton line,replaced by M services (returned back as the Brighton local,not express like before Chrystie st reroutes)rerouted.

Jamaica services were relabeled,introducing the J(which was what the line was originally supposed to be called,R27/30 cars already had them on rollsigns.)
KK was cut back to Eastern Pky,relabled K.
No more QJ/KK skip stop above ENY.

Believe it or not, the line operated more services during the day, with K service starting at 6am to 10 am,230pm to 630 pm.

The J ran A/B skip stop services during am rush hours towards Manhattan, express after ENY to Myrtle, then express to Essex st.

This service pattern should return.
Right now, the Z is useless.
