Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sat Jul 11 08:26:44 2026 Tuscarora Almanac for July 11 from The Book of First Runs The Triborough Bridge connecting Manhattan, The Bronx and Queens opens today. A new bus route known as Route TB Triboro Bridge Line begins service as well. There are actually two routes. One runs between East 125th Street-Lexington Avenue, Manhattan and 37th Street-24th Avenue, Astoria. The second route to Astoria runs from East 138th Street-Southern Boulevard, The Bronx. A third route between Manhattan and Ward’s Island will not begin May 15, 1937. Service will be operated by the New York City Omnibus Corporation. Source; New York Division Bulletin / January 1988, article by Mr. Bernard Linder 1966 – from The Book of Service Changes Weekday “F” trains will terminate at Second Avenue instead of Broadway-Lafayette Street. They will operate over the local tracks from West 4th Street south. This extension is being done to permit the express track south of Broadway-Lafayette Street to be connected into the Chrystie Street Subway. Normal service will resume on August 30. 1969 – from The Book of Last Runs This is the last day of PM rush hour skip - stop service on the BMT Jamaica Line. "KK" and "QJ" trains will continue to operate to 168 Street but will now make all stops. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

Weekday “F” trains will terminate at Second Avenue instead of Broadway-Lafayette Street. Wait. So the Jamaica/6th Ave Local line terminated in Manhattan. So I guess the Concourse/6th Ave Express Line must have gone through the Rutgers Tunnel. How long did that go on for? |

Back in 1967 the "F" ran between 179th Street-Jamaica and Broadway-Lafayette Street M-F from 6 AM to 8 PM. At all other times it terminated at 34th Street-Sixth Avenue. For a six week period the Lafayette Street trains were extended to Second Avenue. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

This routing continued until 11/26/1967 when the D Concourse/6th Avenue line was through routed over the Manhattan Bridge to DeKalb Ave. and the Brighton BMT line. It was replaced on its former route through the Rutgers Street tunnel and the Culver line by the F Jamaica/6th Avenue local which no longer terminated in Manhattan. |
