Posted by Joe on Thu Sep 25 12:53:03 2025, in response to Broadway Express Service, posted by cortelyounext on Thu Sep 25 09:12:35 2025. My memory could be faulty, but before the Bway-7th Avenue expresses were eliminated, there was a time when the northbound thru expresses used the center track until 145 Street. There were two catches: 137th Street locals could not use the center track for reversal, so they reversed at Dyckman; and often a train running ahead of the through express would cut in front of the through express, defeating the purpose of the through express. It was 2/6/1959 when all Van Cortlandt Park trains became locals. That solution has now worked for 66 years. |
