Posted by TonyIND on Tue Feb 22 23:12:36 2005, in response to The subway during the 1970's, how bad did it really get?, posted by brooklynQB on Tue Feb 22 15:17:46 2005. What I recall of the system during the 70's was lots of graffitti ALL OVER THE PLACE. As for G.O's, they were not as extensive as they are now (but then the system is that much older now). Car maintenence was not as advanced--many is the time during the PM rush for instance, a "KK" would be sent down via Rutgers/Culver as an "F", or the same for a rush hour "B" from 168. Trains with one car all dark or a car totally isolated would run. Some underground stations STILL had that dim lighting (ie. 155, Carroll St, Ft Hamilton Pkwy) to name a few. The route description signs in stations were also badly modified. I recall at the 6 Av local stations, the KK bullet crudely removed, and a taped over crudely printed sign saying something like "....for Broadway Brooklyn take the F to Delancey........." All in all, the subway RAN as only it could during the 70's, but there was no thought )or money for that matter) to make the experience a somewhat pleasent one!!!!!!!!!!!TOny |
