Somethings worthy pointing out (in regards to routing patterns that have significantly changed over the years):
• The only Limiteds that existed at the time were the S91 and S92 Limiteds.
• The S46 originally terminated at Forest Avenue/Grandview Avenue; there was no service along South Avenue to the West Shore Plaza as.
• The S51 had a late night terminal -- Midland Avenue/Kiswick Street. In addition there was no Fort Wadsworth service yet. The late night terminal at Midland/Kiswick existed until the mid-2000s when late night service was eventually extended to Grant City.
• The S55 and S56 operated until approximately 10:00 in the evening; this was later changed to approximately 7 in the evening due to the cuts in the Fall of 1995.
• The S59 operated at all hours until the cuts in the Fall of 1995, with daytime service operating to Tottenville, and late night service terminating at Hylan Boulevard.
• Some S62s served the Teleport during rush hours in the peak direction.
• The S74 operated along Arthur Kill Road between Rossville Avenue and Bloomingdale Road. Today's current S74 routing operates along Rossville Avenue, Woodrow Road and Bloomingdale Road before returning onto Arthur Kill Road on its way to Tottenville. I think this had to do with development of the neighborhood, but I'm not entirely sure.
If you have any more questions about the service patterns I'll be glad to answer them to the best of my ability. Enjoy!
