Posted by Far Rockaway A Train on Fri Jun 14 22:38:19 2013, in response to Re: Old Subway Maps, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Jun 14 19:24:27 2013. The "4" also ran to Flatbush Ave. via Bklyn local nights and early Sunday mornings (until 10:30 am) when the "3" did not operate. As far as the "A" and "E", I can shed some light from approx. 1974.Starting with the "A": ran between 207 St & Lefferts Blvd 24/7, express in Manhattan 34/7, local in Brooklyn all times except rush hours when it operated express. Also ran between 207 St & Far Rockaway 7 days a week from 6:00am-11:30pm, express in Manhattan, local in Brooklyn except rush hours when it operated express. Also the "A" ran between Euclid Ave & Far Rockaway via Rockaway Pk 7 days a week from 11:30pm-6:00am-thus known as "The Round Robin". This arrangement remained until 8/77 when ”A” began operating local in Manhattan during midnight hours; 12/88, the ”A” runs express in Brooklyn from 6:00am-9:00pm; sometime in 1992, the ”A” began operating to Far Rockaway 24/7 and the Lefferts Blvd ”A” running btwn Euclid Ave. & Lefferts Blvd midnights. Also during this time, a third ”A” began operating btwn 59 St-Columbus Circle and Rockaway Pk peak direction only. I'm not sure when the ”A” began operating express in Brooklyn 7 days a week-maybe '98/'99. As for the ”E”: ran from 179 St-World Trade Ctr 24/7-express in Queens from Queens Plz-71 Ave and local in Manhattan. During rush hours, extended past WTC to Euclid Ave and Rockaway Pk-express in Manhattan, local in Brooklyn. Also operated as a shuttle between Broad Channel and Rockaway Pk all times except rush hours and midnight hours. This arrangement lasted until 8/76 when it was discontinued south of WTC. In 12/88 began operating to Jamaica Ctr. |
