Posted by gbs on Mon Nov 15 02:39:32 2010, in response to Re: Oddities in an early 1940s Subway Map, posted by Randyo on Sun Nov 14 19:03:31 2010. Except for the duplicate red-orange (the red family) at 42/6 and 50/6, which apparently had to be done to get the 6 Avenue line to sync with the 7 Av and 5 Av colors already in place, the others you mention are all correctly in sequence.The yellow-orange at 145/8 (similar to the original color at 14/8) is in the yellow family, the next-to-last color in the sequence, before red. So going north from Chambers on the 8 Av line: Chambers: purple Canal (and Spring): blue W4: green 14 (and 23): yellow 34: red 42 (and 50): purple 59 (and 72-116): blue 125 (and 135): green 145 (and 155, 163): yellow 168 (and 175-207): red On 6 Av north from W4: W4 (and 14, 23): green 34: yellow (originally; some vestiges left) 42 & 50: red Bway-Lafayette was a lighter blue than today, but always correctly blue; 2 Av was and is the correct purple. South of 2 Av and south of Chambers, every station is purple until blue Jay St, then green Bergen and Hoyt, yellow 7 Av and Nostrand, red Church and Utica.... Some of the yellow stations are yellow-orange (Ft Hamilton Pkwy), but Sutphin Blvd/Hillside is quite a light yellow. Some have brown borders (the original 34/6) and others black (Union Tpke). |
