Posted by BMTLines on Sun Jan 27 12:18:17 2008, in response to Nassau Street Loop, posted by geoffc on Sun Jan 27 11:38:00 2008. In order to understand the operation you have to look at the pre-1967 maps. In my example I will use one of the BMT maps posted on nycsubway.org. The relevant section is highlighted below:  Before 1967 the tracks on the south side of the Manhattan bridge that connect to the Broadway line today instead connected to the J/M/Z Nassau street line. The North side tracks connected to Broadway - Grand street and the connection to 6th Avenue did not exist. Trains from Brooklyn operated either to Broadway or through the "Nassau Street Loop" as it was called. Trains coming from Brooklyn could go over the Manhattan Bridge then south via Nassau Street and return to Brooklyn via the Montague St tunnel (R line). OR they could go through the Montague St tunnel, North through the Nassau Loop and return to Brooklyn via the Manhattan Bridge. So yes - it was a return loop because they did not change ends in Manhattan. |
