Posted by rushhoursardine on Wed Feb 8 20:14:00 2006, in response to Fulton Street El Express Service, posted by RedbirdR33 on Mon Feb 6 22:34:24 2006. Larry Redbird: thank you for a highly informative post. We have spoken in the past about being fans of the old BMT (me on the Myrtle from my childhood days, you in general).In many ways, the BMT made maximum use of two-track lines for express or skip-stop service (such as has existed on the Jamaica el for decades until the present J/Z service). If you've seen my several old posts on this topic, I have always been an advocate of maximum use of peak-direction express tracks on numerous three-track els in the city. Many posters have differed, however, and I respect their feedback. In reading the 1939 BMT map service guide on nycsubway.org, however, I have found it to be one of the most rider-conscious schedules I've seen on a subway map. Straight down to the extension of the Franklin Shuttle to Coney Island on summer Sundays, which was always beach day for workingmen and their families after a six-day workweek. Any comments? |
