Posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Tue Nov 16 11:16:43 2010, in response to Re: November 15, 1960 - First Run of the R-27's, posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Tue Nov 16 11:01:44 2010. The M always was a Brighton Local - - the QJ first started on the Brighton line in 1967 as an express. Then NYCT got smart and realized that Brighton Beach was a bottleneck with the D from Coney Island switching to express and the QJ/QB switching to local from Brighton Beach so once the NX was done away, the D took the Brighton Beach terminal while the QJ/QB was extended to Coney Island.The M always was the weekday Brighton local (from 1973 to 1986). However for a brief time in the late 1970's, the M ran express southbound from Prospect Park to Kings Highway due to some weird debris (downed trees?) between Cortelyou and Newkirk. Because of this, a shuttle train was used from Prospect Park to Cortelyou. |
