Tuscarora Almanac for May 28

Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Thu May 28 09:48:10 2020



Tuscarora Almanac - May 28, 1917 - The Book of First Runs

Brooklyn and Queens, New York
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company

The Contract IV Jamaica Line is extended a distance of two miles from the Cypress Hills Terminal to 111 Street. (Note that this refers to the present day el structure and not the earlier short-lived surface operation on Jamaica Avenue.) New stations are opened at Cypress Hills, Eldert’s Lane, Forest Parkway, Woodhaven Boulevard, 102nd Street and 111th Street. The Cypress Hills station is located on Jamaica Avenue and replaced the former City Line Terminal located on Crescent Street at Jamaica Avenue.

Brooklyn, New York
New York City Transit Authority
BMT Division

Route No.5 Culver Line is made into a fulltime shuttle between 9 Avenue (Lower Level) and Ditmas Avenue. Normal equipment is a two car train of A Types.

As a partial compensation for the loss of through Culver service a free transfer point is established between the 9th Street Station of the BMT Fourth Avenue Line and the 4th Avenue Station of the IND South Brooklyn (Smith Street) Line.

Midday operation of the No. 10 Myrtle Avenue-Chambers Street trains is discontinued as well.

Former Staten Island Rapid Transit cars are assigned to the No.7 Franklin Avenue shuttle.

Also on this date midday express service on the Brighton Line is discontinued.

Tuscarora Almanac - May 28, 1987 - The Book of First Runs

Manhattan, New York
New York City Transit Authority
IND Division

The first train of General Overhauled (GOH) R-38s entered service today.
A small ceremony was held at 57th Street-6th Avenue and was attended by Mayor Ed Koch and NYCTA President David Gunn. An eight car train of clean and rebuilt R-38s was displayed on the southbound track. (B-5) Also on display was a four car train of grungified R-38s for comparison.
The clean train had cars (s) 4131-0, 4092-3, 3992-3 and 4048-9 (n).
The dirty train had cars (s) 4090-1, 4016-7 (n).

After the ceremony the clean train was taken to the IND Pitkin Yard and readied for service. At 3PM it entered service on the A Line along with cars 4132-3. One standout feature of the rebuilt R-38s was the addition of the old TA logo with the R-10 on it.

Re: the Jamaica El extension, does anyone know why the BRT didn't route the line over the private ROW that held the incline to Jamaica Ave?

It would have avoided that sharp turn from Crescent St to Jamaica Ave.

The Brighton Express still ran midday, it just ran local in Brooklyn. I remember that it ran 9 cars of Triplexes or 3 units midday and 12 cars in rush hours. I've always guessed that this was to allow certain construction to happen but can't really say for sure. It was a few years later when they did "skip-stop" in rush hours. Maybe they planned to start sooner.

The rush hour "skip-stop" on the Brighton line during 1964 (lasted about 11 months) was to allow for the lengthening of the platforms at Newkirk Ave (now Newkirk Plaza). During the widening operation, the express tracks were closed between Kings Highway and Prospect Park and all service ran on the local tracks, which had temporary crossovers to use the express side of the platforms at Newkirk.

They needed it to be able to hold 10x60 car D trains. All other platforms along the line were also extended where necessary but only at Newkirk did the need to cut into the retaining wall at the north end. Church was already long enough it appears since it has original stairs at both ends and are unchanged. I think Sheepshead Bay needed an extension but they had the room. I don't know about the other express stations. Parkside, Beverly and Cortelyou had cuts made into the wall. I don't remember them working on any of these except Newkirk, but then again I was only 9 in 1964.

Maybe they did this midday and had both trains express in one direction and local the other way, pretty much what they do now when the Q runs express. The B will run local the other way, except that the B isn't running at all these days.

In addition to Church Ave., Prospect Park and Sheepshead Bay stations were also already long enough to accommodate 600 ft trains at that time. Sheepshead Bay was extended when the Voorhies Ave. exit was added, I believe when the Belt Parkway was built in the 1930s. There was room to extend Kings Highway island platforms without moving tracks.

Culver Line

In retrospect, it was a mistake to sever and eventually demolish the Culver line from the 4th Avenue line:

That is one line I've said before I'd be looking to rebuild as two levels of single track with spots to allow for crossovers for GOs and so forth and likely with a new upper level on the northbound side of Ditmas Avenue with northbound trains on an upper level and southbound trains on a lower level (with the platform at Ditmas as it was from the shuttle days redone on the south side) and the lower level of 9th Avenue refurbished so it could be used as it once was again.

The operative question is whether there is a travel market along this route. In my view, there are extensions into subway deserts far more deserving of new trackage.

There were a couple of problems that justified the eventual removed of the Culver Line from the BMT. one was a chronic cars shortage that the BMT had which was actually mentioned in a pre 1940 article in the Bkln Spectator. It mentioned that the 4 Av Subway was suffering overcrowding due to a car shortage on the BMT but it was expected to be relieved when the Culver was connected to the City Subway which was planned almost as soon as the IND opened. Another factor was that with the Culver operating through to Manhattan, there would be 3 local services operating on 4 Ave joined by a fourth through the Montague tube when joined by the Brighton Lcl at Dekalb. Even allowing fo some Culvers operating as expresses via the bridge into Nassau St at some point there would still be 4 lcl service operating through the tunnel either in the peak direction of traffic or against it when returning. The connection of the IND to the Culver S/O Ditmas not only provided Culver passengers with a one seat ride to midtown Manhattan which was unavailable under BMT operation, but also freed up rolling stock leaving it available to be used for lengthening trains on other lines that were overcrowded.

Having watched about 2/3 of the posted film, I come away with a realization that most of those trains were short, low capacity services. Somewhat remind me of a few bits of CTA in the 50s when base day trains were 4 cars and rarely full when I rode them. Today, one of those routes has had the platforms lengthened to berth 8 car trains and midday they are fairly full--most seats full many standees.though not crush loaded.
So, I ask,because I wasn't riding any of the Brooklyn Els except the lower Myrtle in its last 2 years, if despite lower TPH than optimal, is there not greater net capacity than before the Els were demolished?
For example, IINM the Ds and then Fs of my time in NYC (66-70) became 10x60; how long were Culver trains before the IND takeover?

IIRC, Culver subway trains were typically 6 or 7 cars of B-types.

But there were also elevated car shuttles that ran only to 9th Avenue.

When you see "short" BMT elevated trains you have to remember that the el cars (except C's and Q's) were very labor intensive. Six car train meant 6 employees (motorman, conductor and 4 guards). So there was great incentive not to run longer trains when the demand wasn't there.

Example Myrtle BUs were 6 cars in rush hour, 3 at other times.

They used to do the same on Myrtle Ave. after the Q cars replaced the gate cars. It was interesting watching the man in the track pit connecting the cables between the three car sets. Of course it didn't save any labor since the Q cars had MUDC. It did save electricity and wear and tear on those old cars.

I haven't found the actual 9St/4Av transfer date yet, but take a look at the May 27th, 1948 (page 1) edition of the Brooklyn Eagle. They explain why certain potential transfer locations, including 9St/4Av were not made free back then.

The interior tilework is quite seamless and quite reminiscent of the 1930s IND, especially the lettering on the directional signs. It makes me wonder how much of the connection was original construction, because the most recently opened stations prior to 1959 (179 St, Fulton extensions) look nothing like that.





Especially interesting that this "CONEY ISLAND" sign also appears to be of the same vintage, actually pointing towards the Culver platform. Of course it was always part of the IND plans to extend the line, so it would make sense to put up the sign. In that sense it's similar to the "TO THE ROCKAWAYS" signs along Queens Blvd.

Apparently only the southbound stairway existed at that time, and paper tickets for the northbound transfer (also requiring a walk to the next block) were not considered because of the operational cost.

The IND Culver connection really did nothing to address the BMT car shortage. The IND did not have "surplus" cars to extend service from Church Ave to Coney Island. Where did the cars come from then? They came from "repatriating" the 100 or so R1-9s that were transferred to the BMT when the R10s arrived. Also, around this time, the R16s were being delivered. However, even with the 200 R16s, there was still a car shortage, leading to running ex-SIRT cars and some modified IRT low-Vs in the BMT until the R27s arrived in 1960-61.

Not necessarily. The Culver "shuttle" was much like the Paulina Connector in Chicago. In both cases, construction of a new subway connection rendered the slower elevated obsolete. The elevated Culver line was retained for passenger shuttle service, while the Paulina Connector was retained for non-passenger use as the sole connection between several west side lines and the rest of the rapid transit system. A portion of the Paulina Connection, not necessary for maintaining that connection, was demolished in 1964. But the rest remained to provide a physical connection with the rest of the system. Critically for passenger services, this connection provided flexibility. In the late 1950s, Douglas Park trains used the connector when the Garfield Park route was not available and the Congress Expressway had not yet been completed. Douglas Park trains returned to that route again, this time permanently, starting in 2006. Both times, however, no intermediate stations were served. In other words, there was no attempt to serve "travel demand" along the Paulina Connection. The sole purpose of the Paulina Connection was to provide routing flexibility and to be able to increase service levels where bottlenecks restricted throughput. In the case of the Culver "shuttle," there was no need to maintain a physical connection between two separated rapid transit networks. But the route served to provide flexibility in the provision of service. And that utility does not require that there be a "travel market" along 39th Street, just as the reactivation of the Paulina Connection did not require that there be a "travel market" along Paulina Street. It is that operational flexibility that would be the most significant basis for reconstructing the Culver "shuttle," more so than there being a "travel market"; if there were definitively no need for that flexibility, then there would no cause for its reconstruction.

Yes. Near the demolished Madison Street station. The old arena was replaced with the United Center, but CTA has not restored the station.
https://www.chicago-l.org/operations/lines/paulina.html
for history in depth.

I would say that CTA has neglected the area although they are in the process of restoring a station at Damen and Lake which is also near the arena and also demolished decades ago.

One of the deficits of elevated systems is how easily a station can be closed and torn down. Conversely, other than 18th on the original IRT, most subway stations in NY remain.
