Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Wed Jul 1 18:53:43 2026, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for July 1, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Wed Jul 1 05:41:46 2026. Also on July 1, 1968, D trains began running express along 6th Ave. at all times.I think of the TT as a holdover. The Q, QT and T lines went away in November of '67, but they kept the TT. They could have just run the B as a West End shutttle during late nights and Sundays. Perhaps the powers-that-be figured the publis was already familiar with the TT, so they opted to keep it for the time being. There was another round of tweaks on August 18, but according to several sources, those changes were implemented some time before then. Specifically, the D swapped Brooklyn terminals with the QB and QJ during weekdays. My mother and I were in the city on that day. My aunt flew in from Chicago to LGA to attend a summer performance at Lincoln Center and we met her at the airport. Back then, there were no security gates or metal detectors. You could just walk right out to the concourse to any gate. We took a prewar Ethel from PBAT to Jackson Heights, and the lead motor was completely dark inside. I had gotten to know the subway system somewhat by then, and after taking a Q33 bus to Jackson Heights, we took a 7 - my first 7 ride - to Times Square and changed to a n/b 1 to 66th St. After my aunt checked in at the Lincon Center Motor Inn, we parted company, and mu mother and I headed up to the Bronx, where she went yarn shopping at Goldman's on the Grand Concourse. After getting a bite to eat at a luncheonette, it was back to PABT and a bus ride home. We met up with my aunt the following day, this time with my sister in tow. |
