Posted by E Line Fan on Sun May 13 19:59:32 2007, in response to Re: The (M) and the (QB) Re: May 11, 1975. . .End of the Culver shuttle, posted by J trainloco on Sun May 13 18:09:02 2007. Prior to the Brighton Line being connected to the subway, the Brighton Line trains reached the city via the Franklin Avenue Line and Fulton Street El to Park Row. By 1939, The Brighton Beach Local was terminating at 57th Street and the Express at Times Square. When the R27s arrived in 1960, the original (Q) briefly terminated at Astoria and had two sisters as the local - the (QB) and the (QT). These jointly were what would've been the (QQ). When today's (J) was extended to Coney Island, it was the (QJ) and I believe the (QT) was ended when it started. The M.T.A. decided to send the (M) to Coney Island and cut the (QJ) to Broad Street but it kept the (QJ) letter until 1976. By 1970, the (Q) and (QT) were gone and the (QB) was rush hours only. The Brighton Line had become the (D) and the (M) and would remain so until the mid 1980's. The (QB) became the (Q) in 1985 and began her comeback to a full time route. |
