Posted by randyo on Wed Oct 17 14:32:46 2012, in response to Re: Polo grounds shuttle was to be connected to Lenox Line, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Wed Oct 17 13:38:12 2012. For most of the time that 6 and 9 Av service ran to the Bronx, they terminated at Burnside Av rather than Woodlawn. For a short period of time after the 9 Av El in Manhattan was torn down, service ran between Burnside and 155 St wit 3 car trains of composites. Later on (I'M not sure of the exact chronology) the service was reduced to operation between 167 St and 155 St with 2 car trains of Composites and later 2 car trains of Hi-Vs and eventually Steinways. As I mentioned in another post on this topic, the additional service from Lenox would not have impacted on Jerome service any more than the 7 Av/West Farms service impacted on Lex/West Farms service and could possibly have even been operated as an express S/O Burnside to provide a smoother divergence/merge S/O 167 St. |
