Posted by renee gil on Tue Dec 11 19:17:28 2012, in response to 24 years ago today, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Dec 11 13:33:54 2012. According to one of the old signs that hovered above the tracks on the platform at Union Turnpike station (obviously, they are gone now, this was about 26-27 years ago), the E and F were to continue to 179th Street, and the G and N were to go to Jamaica Center. There was to be a G late night shuttle train from Van Wyck Blvd to Jamaica Center. This is what the sign actually said at the Van Wyck Blvd station underneath the black sticker covering with the effect of "To Archer Ave". Whether they actually had plans to implement this scheme, I do not know. The sign at Union Tpke read G and N, NOT the R, as this plan was well before the R ran to Continental Ave in May of '87. The Archer Avenue Subway was already done by this point (Construction ended in late 1983/early '84). |
