Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Thu Jan 7 22:09:45 2010, in response to Re: UPDATE & WHAT I THINK ... Re: ZMan, that is great news, replacing the M train with the V train., posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Jan 7 21:53:10 2010. I rode the K once, in August of 1976, shortly before I moved to L. A. (around the same time that the K was discontinued). Not sure if I rode over the connection or only in Manhattan (the purpose of my ride was to ride every full-length line (i.e., no shuttles) at least once without leaving the system). I wish I had saved the list of what I rode! I had it for several years after I arrived in L. A., but eventually threw it out. If only I had known there would be a SubChat years later... All I remember is that I started on the A at Franklin Ave (A was local in Brooklyn 24/7 back then), started a little after 7 AM in order to ride the 3 rush-hour only lines (CC, K, QB) (I didn't consider the 5 express in Bronx from 241 (today's <5>) or the 6 Pelham Express (today's <6>) as separate routes. I got the QB and the K out of the way fairly early, but it was after 9:00 and I still had to ride the CC. I was on the Central Park Dash n/b (back when it really was a dash), don't remember if I was on the A or the D, hoping I'd overtake a CC, fortunately I did and rode to 161/River, where I transferred to the 4. I also remember riding the LL to Myrtle/Wycoff and transferring to the M. Or did I transfer to the GG at Lorimer? Anyway, I might do it again someday, only this time I'll include the shuttles, and I'll try to ride each line only once (in 76, I had to ride a few lines twice). |
