I wish posters would stop referring the the pseudo “express” service that skipped selected stations north of 137th St as the “Broadway Thru Express” There was only one true Bway Thru Exp that ran for a brief period in the mid 1950s which utilized the middle track between 137th St and 96th St and was discontinued because it really didn’t save any time for passengers. The skip stop service that operated as a pseudo “express” was signed as “Local-Exp” like the Lex lcls that operated express on the Pelham Line. since they operated local on their respective trunk lines but express on their branch lines. From the time that service pattern started till it ended, it was NEVER, NEVER, NEVER referred to as the “Bway Thru Exp” by any of the passengers who rode the line or the employees who worked the line. In my early railfanning days, I used to hang out with the Bway train crews whose trains I rode to and from high school and the term “thru express” was not mentioned at any time by any of them. I lived through the transition of those west side changes somI have first hand exhaustive knowledge of what went on during that time so PLEASE get your facts straight and stop posting erroneous information! |
