I was working at 23 Street. No one wanted to get on a G train going to Queens because it wasn't the F! And this happened during rush hour!<<I can vouch that story in a similar fashion, when in 1984, I recall riding a rerouted "GG" train of R-10's during the PM rush hour going uptown via 6th Avenue. I rode that train, which ran in the normal way between Smith-9th Street (where I had got on) and Bergen Street, then over to Queens Plaza (where I had left) along the "F" route's tracks. Just like in your message, the R-10 "GG" train had few passengers while operating in Manhattan, and also very few passengers would get on because they wanted the "F" too. Now, I wonder what happens today when Court Square-bound R-46 "G" trains cannot go up the Crosstown Line...rerouted again on 6th Avenue as far as Queens Plaza only??? -William A.
