Posted by randyo on Fri Jun 7 14:50:36 2013, in response to Re: Last run of the R30, posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Fri Jun 7 14:33:28 2013. I seem to recall that some of the R-27/30s had side signs that read "L/14 St Exp" and "LL/14 St Lcl" instead of the more generic "14 St Line." As for the TT signs on Bway, pre Chrystie, there were 3 West End trains that put in N/B from City Hall Yd M - F and ran lcl from Canal to Astoria where they entered S/B West End Exp service. These trains carried the "TT/West End Lcl" signs which were appropriately changed at Astoria. Also, when I was working platform at Broad St sometime in late 1966/early 1967, a Jamaica train went bad in ENY Yd and it so happened that CIY had an extra train of R-32s available so it ran light from CIYd to Broad for Jamaica service. Unfortunately, the crews were not too knowledgeable about the signage and signed the train up "QB/Broadway Exp" instead of "J/Nassau St Exp." The AM Nassau St Bankers' Specials were able to both carry "M" since until they actually reached Nassau St, they never stopped at the same platforms Manhattan bound. In the PM, while the Brighton Nassau specials continued to carry "M" signs, the 4 Av Nassau specials carried "S/Special" signs since unlike their AM counterparts, they ran local S/B to 95 St. |
