Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Sat Jul 25 16:28:37 2009, in response to Re: The Manhattan Bridge, posted by randyo on Sat Jul 25 13:40:33 2009. Even after the Chrystie merger, the north side tracks still saw more service than the south side. The B and D trains ran days a week and the QB ran only during rush hours. It wasn't until April 1986 that the south had more service than the north and that was only because the north tracks were shut down then. But then the north tracks reopened in December 1988 and the south tracks were shut down and it stayed that way for 13 years (except for the few months in 1991 when the south side tracks reopened for N service). Then it was back to south-side-only operation in July 2001. I think the most balanced bridge service pattern is the current one, which came in 2004 when both side finally began running trains simultaneously. Because now we have trains from four lines running over the bridge on weekdays from 6 AM to about 11 PM instead of just during rush hours like we did from 1967 to 1986. |
