Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Fri Jun 14 18:18:54 2013, in response to Re: Old Subway Maps, posted by New Flyer #857 on Fri Jun 14 16:38:25 2013. The 1967 map shows the JJ to Rockaway Parkway.New Flyer: The short-lived "JJ" (11/67-6/68) was merely a re-designation of the No 14 Broadway-Brooklyn Local. There was no change in the service pattern in the several months following the opening of the Chrystie Street Line. Below is a portion of a post I made back in 2004 that details the Broadway-Brooklyn Local service in the years preceding the opening of Chrystie Street up until the end of June 1968. AM Rush: Westbound first three trains lv 111 St and run local to Canal 626-707AM, next "B" skip-stop service begins from 168 St from 708AM to 824AM, then from Atlantic Av 850AM to 946AM. There were also three put-ins from Canarsie 621AM- 651AM AM Rush: Eastbound: service lvs Canal St local to 168 Street 658AM to 728AM, to Eastern Pkwy 738,748, to Canarsie 755AM, to Metropolitan Av (Myrtle) 804AM, to Atlantic Av 50AM to 912AM, to Eastern Pkwy 900AM and 923-1018AM. PM Rush: Westbound: service begins from Eastern Pkwy from 305-343PM and also at 425PM, then from Atlantic Avenue 350-516PM, from Crescent St 521-612PM (four trains), overlaping with westbound service from Canarsie at 527-601PM (three trains), PM Rush: Eastbound: Lv Canal St 330-446PM to Atlantic Av, 444PM to 612PM alternating to Crescent St and Canarsie, 635 and 644PM to Atlantic. The TA maps of the period are woefully misleading regarding this service. They state that the Broadway Bklyn Local runs only during the pm rush between Canal St and Crescent St or Rockway Parkway. The am rush service is listed as a "Jamaica Local" between 168 Street and Canal St with Skip-Stop service to Eastern Pkway. Since the skip-stop service only ran for about one hour and the #14 local service ran actually for three hours in the am. Nowhere on the map does it tell you what stops are actually skipped in skip-stop service. . Larry,RedbirdR33 |
