After the C express was discontinued in 1948, rush hour E trains were extended to Bway/ENY. Also, D trains ran to Hudson Terminal, F trains ran to Church Avenue and CCs ran to Bway/Laff. One of the service guides (I believe there is one in one of the Museum R-9s) shows the HH Fulton St Lcl as running between Court St and Bway/Eny even though the service only actually ran between Court and Hoyt Sts and was discontinued before the IND was extended to ENY. Also, during non rush hours the F ran to 169 St and only terminated at Parsons during the rush hour when the service frequency was to much for 169 to handle. |
