Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Tue Jul 1 13:04:49 2008, in response to Re: IND 57 Street..., posted by Dan on Tue Jul 1 12:01:50 2008. I have that same brochure which I acquired at that time. I was actually in the city on 7-1-68; my mother and I went out to LGA to meet my aunt, who flew in from Chicago to take in some sort of performance at Lincoln Center. She was staying at the Lincoln Center Motor Inn (instead of staying with us), so we headed back to Manhattan on the 7 - the first time I ever rode on it - and from Times Square we took a 1 to 66th St. I knew by then that there was no free transfer from the Times Square complex to the IND 8th Ave. line. That morning we took an R-1/9 Ethel from 42nd St. with a dark first car.That afternoon included a joyride up CPW on an R-32 D train en route to the Bronx and a yarn store my mother used to frequent. When we got home that afternoon, it was still brutally hot - our thermometer read 104 degrees in the shade. We were back in the city the following day and met my aunt at the Museum of Natural History. I remember her saying that she saw on the map that there was a CC (it was rush hour), so that's what she took from 59th St. It was about that time that we reverse railfanned a CC to 81st. Might have been a few days earlier when I accidentally went through the turnstiles to the s/b platform at 42nd St. and had to use the underpass at the northern end of the lower level. |
