Posted by Andy on Mon Dec 15 20:56:33 2008, in response to EE BROADWAY LOCAL - ORPHANS OF CHRYSTIE STREET , PART 3, posted by RedbirdR33 on Mon Dec 15 20:23:00 2008. "The “EE” replacement was a few rush hour only “N” trains running southbound from Forest Hills in the AM and northbound from Whitehall Street in the PM."Not exactly. The N was extended from 57th Street to Forest Hills along the EE route during the same hours - roughly 6 AM to 7:30 PM. The only significant difference to the Queens riders was that for any station south of Canal Street (City Hall, Cortlandt-WTC, Rector, and Whitehall) there was only the limited rush hour service described above. From Canal Street north there was really no difference in service. In fact, many of the N trains were R46 consists which provided a welcome addition - air conditioning in the warm weather. During the period when the N replaced the EE I was living in Flushing and working at the WTC. On the hottest summer days I would sometimes drive to Woodside, park, and then take an air conditioned N to work - better than the non A/C IRT equipment on the #7 and then the #2/3. |
