Posted by Randyo on Sun Nov 14 19:18:32 2010, in response to Re: Oddities in an early 1940s Subway Map, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Nov 14 11:29:22 2010. That 1939 map is fraught with errors including the connection shown between the 14 St Line and the Myrtle el rather than between the Bway Bkln el and Myrtle. It also fails to show the express and local stations on the Bway Bkln El and fails to indicate Utica on the IND A Line as an express stop while showing Nostrand as an express stop. It also shows express and local stops on the IND Smith St Line even though the IND had no express service at all in Bkln at the time. Also, while it shows some of the IRT and BMT lines in the outer boroughs as elevated lines, it shows the IRT Pelham and portions of the Wh Pl Rd line as subway lines. That map was obviously made by someone with less than no knowledge of the NYC transit system and it's unfortunate that some passengers who were unfamiliar with the system had to rely on maps like that. |
