But the Queens Blvd BMT extension service still ran local on Broadway, didn't it? To me that makes it more R-like than Q-like...Maybe, but the #2 4th Avenue local route (RR/R) didn't move to 71st St Continental until January 1961 (and again on 5/24/1987), which is well after the time period Fisk Ave Jim is talking about. Also, by the 1960-11/25/67 period, it was actually the 4th Avenue local that provided this service, wasn't it? And on the R27/30s, it was actually signed as the RR... Yes, I already knew that, but Fisk Ave Jim is talking about boarding a BMT Standard at 65th Street station in the mid-late 50s period (presumably). When the BMT Standards ran on the Queens Blvd Line (to 71st/Continental), it was usually the BMT #1 Brighton Local route, not the #2 4th Avenue local route (Today's R line). In the late 50s, the BMT #1 Brighton Local route (called the "QT" in the 60s) operated to 71st/Continental from Mondays to Fridays, 6 AM - 8 PM only. The #2 4th Avenue local (RR/R) route still operated to Ditmars Boulevard station at that point. When the 11th St Cut opened on 12/1/1955 it was the first time the BMT Standards ran on IND trackage. It probably looked strange seeing the BMT Standards along with IND's R1-9s on the Queens Blvd subway. |
