Not only that but the QB did not run that weekend due to the Manny B cutover and Brighton Locals ran as QTs and they like the Sea Beach and Saturday West End expresses ran through the tunnel. I worked Astoria tower that Thursday and Friday and the following Monday, City Hall tower on Saturday and Creek Tower on Sunday helping to drill R-9s arriving off the Culver D, relay into Stillwell Yd and back up the Brighton Line to blend with the R-32s. I'm trying to recall if the cutover did not start actually after the end of the PM rush on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving or not but in either case, the Brighton Lcl's R-27/30s were swapped with the Brighton Exp's R-32s after Wednesday's PM rush so that all Brighton trains arriving Stl that Sunday morning would be R-32s ready for D service. There had been s few R-32s on the Culver D about a week or so prior to Chrystie so that they could be in place in Concourse Yd for the start of the Monday AM rush. Any R=32s that came off the Culver that Sunday morning were also relayed through Stl Yd and back to the Brighton Line. At that time, BMT Southern service was only 8 cars and the weekend D service would also be 8 cars even after Chrystie so by the time I left the Creek that Sunday morning, all the Brighton D service was solid 8 car trains of R-32s. Of course 2 car butts would have to be added to the 8 car trains Monday morning to make up the full 10 car trains required for rush hour D service. |
