Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun Aug 28 09:16:39 2022 Tuscarora Almanac – August 28, 1950 – The Book of Last Runs Manhattan, New York New York City Board of Transportation IRT Division All remaining Composites are now out of service. Source: New York Division Bulletin / December 1981 / article by Mr. Bill Zucker Tuscarora Almanac – August 28, 1977 – The Book of First and Last Runs Tuscarora Dispatch No. 11 The August 1977 Schedule Changes The new schedule that went into effect on August 28, 1977 featured drastic service cuts to late night service reflecting the poor state of the subway system and the corresponding drop in ridership. The following changes were made to late night service “AA” trains would be discontinued during the midnight hours. As a consequence “A” trains would now run local in Manhattan. “B” and “N” trains would run as shuttles in Brooklyn between 36th Street and Coney Island. “N” trains would run express on the Fourth Avenue Line between 36th Street and 59th Street at least in one direction. The “B” train would also operate a late night shuttle between 57th Street-6th Avenue and 47th – 50th Streets. I believe that this train ran in both directions on the northbound track. “G” trains would be cut back from Forest Hills to Queens Plaza. “F” trains would run local in Queens when this was in effect. “E” trains would continue to run express at all times.
