Posted by gbs on Sat Nov 13 03:07:58 2010, in response to Re: Oddities in an early 1940s Subway Map, posted by Randyo on Fri Nov 12 14:51:33 2010. The correct IND color at Broadway-EastNY (and Liberty Av etc.) should have been, but never was, purple, not olive green or any kind of blue. In the original sequence, red was the last color and was properly followed by the first color, purple, to start the sequence again.Compare: red 34 St, purple 42 St (8th Av); red 182-183 St, purple Fordham Rd (Concourse); red 169 St, purple 179 St (Hillside Av); red Rockaway Av, purple Broadway-EastNY (oops!). Maybe one day they'll remove that awful orange/blue add-on stripe installed on the platform walls at 179 St (symbolizing 6th and 8th Avenue service to that station, when both the E and F ran there regularly) and reveal again the beautiful purple tile stripe (similar to Euclid Avenue's purple stripe, though incorrect at Euclid, which should have been blue, the second color of the original sequence). |
