I wonder how many other LOS maps or guides are out there, aside from this be-bop-era map.The only other one that I know of was published by the BOT for August 1949. I was able to make a xerox copy at a reference library. Unfortuantely it was a color diagram and the xerox was bw. It was not suitable for web display. (The library had a deal with the copier vendor which prohibited me from bringing my own color scanner). There were some differences between the two dates. The Third Ave El had not been truncated below Chatham Sq. This permitted them to operate 42 tph Chatham Sq and 129th St. They even operated 35 tph in the Bronx despite the grade crossing for the Bronx Park Stub. Queens service did not reflect the great building boom in the late 40's and early 50's. The Queens Blvd Line had only 30 tph; the Flushing Line only 27 tph and the Astoria Line only 12 tph with 6 tph turned at the Plaza. However the 155th St Shuttle was chugging along at 7 tph; Similarly, the Fulton St Line had only local service to BWAY-ENY at 18 tph. |
