As originally intended,the A/AA combination was Wash Hts 8 Av, B/BB was Wash Hts 6 Av, C/CC was Concourse 8 Ave and D/DD was Concourse 6 Av regardless of the south terminals or branch lines. Single letters were expresses and double letters were local with single letters being assigned to trains that ran express anywhere along their routes. That's why the E carried a single letter even though it was local in Manhattan since it ran express in Queens. The new MTA is throwing the old route designations out the window due to its desire to do away with double letters. |
