Posted by ntrainride on Wed Feb 15 23:33:00 2006, in response to Re: Fulton Street El Express Service, posted by rushhoursardine on Wed Feb 8 20:14:00 2006. Good point about the BMT scheduling. Here are three examples of the exemplary service from 19241. During Winter months the Franklin Avenue line went all the way to Kings Hwy between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In the summer, it went down to C.I. on the express tracks. 2. From 5:04 to 6:09 p.m. Canarsie Line trains ran express from Essex Street to Eastern Parkway. 3. From 5:00 to 6:22 p.m. Jamaica line trains make no stops between Canal Street and Eastern Parkway. That Broadway El was really cookin' back then! Add the Myrtle Avenue line running non-stop between Central Avenue and Essex Street in the a.m. rush and between Bowery and Myrtle Avenue in the p.m. rush. Broadway El must have had the biggest variety of train services on an el line. I was amazed to read that West End and Sea Beach trains to Brooklyn in the p.m. rush and on Saturday afternoons stopped at Canal Street "only to take on passengers in the rear cars, but do not discharge passengers." Yep, the B.M.T. was a railroad. |
