It wasn't a mistake any more than the QB line was. The QB had only the GG as the local before 1955, and even after that it was the only off peak local until 1987.The people at the local stops complained because they were used to having direct service, which they then lost in 1968. Smith/9th was a turnaround point because I assume they couldn't terminate both trains at Church and didn't bother to extend the Crosstown after 1954, until 1968. Had the South Brooklyn line been longer from the 1930s, then the GG local and D/F express might have been the norm. We know now that the IND plan of having Brooklyn/Queens locals not go to Manhattan was a failure. |
