What’s intersting about the A train to Brighton Bch it was actually in the MTA’s plans sort of. During the early 1990s there was a small financial crunch at the MTA and a number rather odd service plans were proposed. One of them involved sending a service from 207th St Manhattan to Stillwell via the Brighton Line. Although technically it should properly have been labelled either a B or Q, the MTA opted to call it the A since due the the popularity of the “A Train” from Duke Ellington’s song it was felt than nobody should dare delete the use of the letter A from the MTA’s alphabet soup.
