Re: Tuscarora Almanac for January 3

In its infinite wisdom, the cesspool of incompetence that passes for TA management reasoned that since neither the IND nor the IRT readings contained the names of the branch lines why should the BMT be any different. It never occurred to them that unlike the other divisions, the BMT was unique in that it had a common terminal for most of the Southern Div branch lines so the branch line names were necessary. When I first started as a platform C/R in 1966, I was working the S/B plat at 34th St when I heard loud voice yelling “What the hell train is this?” He was going from car to car trying to find out what the S/B exp in the station was and had been living outside NY for several years and was looking for the familiar route names as he remembered them the last time he was in NY. When I explained to him the new signage he responded ”That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard of” and he was right.
