Posted by rushhoursardine on Tue Aug 9 00:28:04 2005, in response to Re: Metropolitan Ave[R32 On the M], posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Mon Aug 8 08:51:28 2005. Steve: I've had some conversations on this board about the old JJ route, which I believe (without being certain) was the old #14 BMT Broadway (Brooklyn) local. The south terminal was always Canal Street, but the north terminal in PM rush seems like it was a zoo. Not only did it have the 3 terminals you mention, but there was also an occasional train going to 111 Street/Jamaica Avenue. I believe there was a center layup track between 112 and 116 Streets above Jamaica Avenue which accomodated turning around the trains.As long as we're discussing the 1967 post-Chrystie Street trains, the old RJ run from 168 Street/Jamaica to 95 Street/4 Avenue had to be one of the longest BMT runs ever created (much like the old QJ to Coney Island). No wonder it was soon replaced by the RR "bankers" special from Bay Ridge to Chambers Street only. |
