Posted by randyo on Sun Jun 17 21:47:12 2007, in response to Re: Friday 24 November 1967, posted by BMT Standard on Sun Jun 17 21:34:18 2007. Prior to 1967, there was revenue service over the H tracks of the Manny B In the AM, the 4 Av bankers specials ran from 95 St via bridge to Chamber St where they continued through nthe tuune to 9 Av where they turned and returned N/B as West End Locals (using TT designations after the arrival of the R types). In the AMs, these specials ran express from 59 St through the Dekalb bypass and over the Htracks of the bridge. In the PM, these trains originalted as 9 Av West End lcl turn trains N/B via tunnel and S/B via the bridge local all the way to 95 St although when the service was originally operated it ran express S/B in the reverse pattern to the AM service. After the arrival of the R types, the AM trains carried the letter M as did the Brighton bankers' specials but in the PM, they carried S/Special signs. As with the Brighton specials, there were 5 intervals operated in the AM but onle 3 intervals in the PM. None of the bankers' specials laid up at ENY, only 3 West End locals. The reason for that was that with the rush hour service pattern, there was no place for the West End locals to relay at Chambers St since the 4 Av specials were coming off H2 tk and the Brighton specials returned light to CIY via tk H1. |
