In BMT terms, Brighton was 1 and riders determined how it was running based on marker lights. The Brighton service didn't match the IND concept so when letter designations were assigned around 1960, the express was called Q (like the IND). The locals became QB (Brighton via bridge) and QT (Brighton via tunnel).Myrtle-Nassau got M because it was an express in Brooklyn; N was an express in Manhattan; LL and RR fit the pattern, as did TT. MJ was a real oddball because the "J" stood for "Jay" instead of "Jamaica" as it did for JJ, QJ and RJ. |
