There were no signals on the middle track of the Astoria line until the 1990s AFAIK.

I believe you're right. I don't know if this train is dead heading to Coney Island yard or in service rerouted to Cone Island This is a three-car train, but is not in service. The chain link gates are not seen placed in front of the storm door. Most likely going back to Coney Island Yard. -William A. Padron ["Fourth Av. Local"]

BMT/IND middle tks are designated as tk 3/4 and the signal number plates in the S/B direction on in this case the West End Line read D3 and the number plates in the N/B direction read D4.

Posted by Edwards!* on Fri Jul 1 03:22:11 2022, in response to Re: [PHOTO] Location Identification Needed - Arnines In The East, posted by William A. Padron on Thu Jun 30 22:04:33 2022.* R1/9 cars were sent over to the east because of the upcoming revision to the Chrystie st rotes,and the surplus cars left over by the introduction of the R40slant cars. The JJ was the part time route that operated during rush hours,evenings and weekends, when the QJ didn't run. It basically covered the Jamaica line longer than the QJ did in most cases. The line was rerouted uptown, and renamed KK,while the QJ began operating 24/7 between Jamaica and Broad st,7am to 730 to the extended terminal at Stillwell Ave. All of this went away a few years later,as the QJ was removed from the Brighton line,replaced by M services (returned back as the Brighton local,not express like before Chrystie st reroutes)rerouted. Jamaica services were relabeled,introducing the J(which was what the line was originally supposed to be called,R27/30 cars already had them on rollsigns.) KK was cut back to Eastern Pky,relabled K. No more QJ/KK skip stop above ENY. Believe it or not, the line operated more services during the day, with K service starting at 6am to 10 am,230pm to 630 pm. The J ran A/B skip stop services during am rush hours towards Manhattan, express after ENY to Myrtle, then express to Essex st. This service pattern should return. Right now, the Z is useless.

Northbound you went from a timer signal at Elder Av all the way to entering Parkchester.

I worked Aqueduct station as a T/D a couple of times after the 44s arrived and I don’t recall seeing any in that service. I see only four cars instead of eight. Or are they sending four cars to Rock Park yard ? It was reported here that R-10s were once used on the JFK Exp so you never know. I'll ask around. Bill Newkirk

The date is correct as stamped on the 35mm slide. When the R-44s were used on the JFK Exp, the fiberglass bonnets were painted silver with blue strip with no black paint around the front windows. The r-44s in the image has the black paint and some graffiti. Bill Newkirk

[PHOTO] Location Identification Needed - AB's
Posted by Bill Newkirk* on Mon Jul 4 17:08:00 2022, in response to [PHOTO] Location Identification Needed, posted by Bill Newkirk on Fri Jun 24 14:10:17 2022.* I came across this image with the title "Cypress Hills". Can't be, because Cypress Hills on the Jamaica line doesn't have a center track. Now I'm thinking is this on the West End ? Or maybe the Astoria Line ? What line and station do you think this is on ? Note uncovered third rail.
