Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Mon May 25 12:17:01 2009, in response to Re: Double Letters, posted by Wado MP73 on Sat May 23 19:57:15 2009. The F terminated at 57th/6th for 2 years prior to the opening of 63rd. This was the era when 179th was served by both the G and R overnights, which led to many complaints. When 63rd St. opened, the F was simply extended to 21st St. It was always noted on maps and stations as the F all the way. There was a Q shuttle which ran from 21st to Broadway/Lafayette during evenings between the hours the Q to Broolyn ceased running (9 PM) and the B to 168th stopped running (midnight). Prior to 63rd St opening, 57th/6th was served by the JFK express which acted as a shuttle to 47-50th during these late evening hours. So I'm not sure when or why this F/Q ever ran. |
