Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Sat Nov 22 07:07:56 2014 Tuscarora Journal - November 22, 1967 - The Book of Last RunsCHRYSTIE STREET MINUS 4 This is Wednesday, November 22, 1967, one day before Thanksgiving and four days before the opening of the Chrystie Street Subway. Today will be the last day of operation the original “QB Broadway-Brighton Local via Bridge.” (BMT Route # 1 Brighton). The “QB” ran during weekday evenings and midnight hours and at all times on the weekends. It operated between Ditmars Boulevard, Astoria and Coney Island via the north side of the Manhattan Bridge making local stops. The last train probably operated sometime around 6 AM on Wednesday morning. For the next four days the “QT Broadway-Brighton Local via Tunnel” would run full time. Today will also be the last day of service between the BMT Southern Section and the Nassau Street Line via side of the Manhattan Bridge. Although the Fourth Avenue-Nassau Street trains (M/S)(BMT Route #2 4th Avenue) would operate for one more day on Friday, November 24 they will run via the tunnel on that day. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

The evening QB was even more like the current Q a few years earlier. It ran from 57th Street to Coney Island and v.v. express in Manhattan, via bridge and local in Brooklyn.Popularly called the Theater Specials, they stopped at 49th Street and smoking was tolerated after theater. |

I was in the city on the 24th, but my mother and I never made it over to the BMT. I did take in the CPW express for the very first time, on a prwewar n/b D train. |
