Re: Z to Canarsie?

J had skip-stop between 160th & Alabama inbound in the AM in the early 70s. After truncation it was A-B skip-stop between Queens Blvd & Myrtle inbound AM. People I knew who lived along the line said that PM outbound skip-stop to QB (later 121st) did indeed run until inauguration of the Z. I never rode it then so I cannot say firsthand.

That might not have been skip-stop, since there was only the J, no K. It was more like half-dead R16's and R27's skipping stations to make up time as they could no longer get out of their own way, assuming they didn't die on the way.

Yes.
The skip stop stations were clearly marked with signs at the begining of each stop within the territory.
Black letters A/B with white background plates placed at the end or begining so operators would know.

When the skip stop first started, the stations were marked with A and B signs. Post Chrystie, They were marked with QJ and JJ signs and later when the KK started, QJ and KK signs.
