Posted by Eric B on Fri Jan 8 15:28:11 2010, in response to Re: ZMan, that is great news, replacing the M train with the V train., posted by randyo on Fri Jan 8 03:59:11 2010. Maybe it began when there were double letters. Still, it would have been strange to make that AA, when it would diverge so far from the A. So I think it would have been K or KK, or, tentatively, either KK or AA; realizing it would be the merging of both lines. Hence, again, K becoming blue in the new colors.Even though the double letters were revealed to the public in 1985, they were apparently assigned or at least thought of years before. A 1982 New York Affairs "Transit Issue" (talking about the 63rd, Archer and other projects including the Queens Bypass) interestingly enough had already made the change, with a map of a part of Brooklyn showing ‹  ›    (The map was B&W, actually. Franklin shuttle was spelled out) In the text part of the book, you still saw "AA" as well as "CC", but the others were single! This was published by NYU, but I get the sense they had probably gotten the info from Transit. So perhaps the combined service was still in the books somewhere, and had been designated "K", and again, only the AA part of it ran. The 6th Ave shuttle I was referring to was the one when the bridge was closed. It ran from 57th to Grand, but I thought I heard there was an idea to run that to the East instead. (Grand would probably have had its own shuttle, like in 2001). |
