Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Feb 11 12:15:32 2007, in response to THE ORPHANS OF CHRYSTIE STREET, PART 1 THE RJ, posted by RedbirdR33 on Sun Feb 11 09:21:57 2007. The logic behind this routing escapes me. There was no reason to run these specials to or from 168th St. Given that the KK did not as yet exist, and Broadway Brooklyn needed a local, why not merge the functions of both the RJ and JJ, having the RJ run to/from Atlantic Ave? Yes, this would mean more trains, but service not needed on 4th Ave could have been truncated at Canal St. Why confuse Jamaica line riders with differing route markers which were virtually meaningless to them? Had this route survived past 7/1/68, it would have given the Jamaica line THREE different rush hour routes. That's excessive, even back then. Great stuff as always, Larry. |
