Tuscarora Almanac for May 4

1957 – from The Book of First Runs

Today marks the start of through service between the Dyre Avenue Line and the rest of the IRT Division. Route 2 7th Avenue Express trains will run between the Dyre Avenue Terminal in The Bronx and the New Lots Avenue Terminal in Brooklyn daily from about 6 AM to 8 PM. Route 9 Dyre Avenue Locals will continue to operate during the evening hours but will now terminate at the East 180 Street Station of the IRT White Plains Road Line instead of the former NYW&B Railway Station. There is no service during midnight hours on the Dyre Avenue Line.
