Tuscarora Almanac for April 23


1953 – from The Book of First Runs

Thru-Express service begins on the White Plains Road line using the center track between East 180th Street and 3rd Avenue – 149th Street. Thru-Express service north of East 180th Street will begin in October.

Wonder why there's no express service north of E180th.

When the Lex exp (#5) was the principal daytime service N/O E 180, Lex service was available to passengers at the local stations so the existence of the thru exp was of little consequence. When the 7th Ave (#2) became the principal service the Lex Thru exp service left passengers at the lcl stations with no direct east side service so it was decided the the thru exps would make lcl stops N/O E 180s. Of course now there is no Lex service at all between E 180 and 149th during rush hours but it seems that the passengers S/O E180 don't have the political clout of the people N/O E 180.
