Posted by SelkirkTMO on Fri May 27 12:43:58 2005, in response to Re: the last nine train (Was: Re: Railfans and Asperger's Syndrome - find out for yourself), posted by Terrapin Station on Fri May 27 12:28:50 2005. AM and PM rush, they'd have the 1 train alternate between the "toonerville trolley which made all stops" and a train that stopped southbound from 242 hitting 238, 231, 225, 200, 168, 137th and then went local fdrom there. Same uptown as a PM train. In the 50's and earlier, the CENTER TRACK was used and the "BWAY THRU EXP" (check old rollsigns, they were there on the 27's back to the 15's at least) and they left VCP witht he FIRST SB stop being Dyckman, then 168, 145, 137 and all stops. Same tradition. Evey OTHER train out of VCP in the AM and north in the PM was a "THRU EXP" ... and they were ALSO turning every OTHER 1 train at 137, MARKED as north terminal. 1 out of 2. IMAGINE the frequency of headway from the 60's on back. :(But now we got the EmTeeYay, more interested in political brown-nose points instead of RUNNING a damned railroad. :( |
