Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Wed Jul 10 07:42:26 2024 Tuscarora Almanac for July 10 1905 – from The Book of First Runs The IRT Lexington Avenue Line is extended from Wall Street to South Ferry. The Bowling Green Station as built was a single island platform. (Today's southbound platform.) The South Ferry (Loop) Station consisted of two tracks but with a single side platform on the outer loop. The short two car platform for shuttle trains at Bowling Green was added in April 1909. The platform on the inner loop at South Ferry opens on July 1, 1918. 1919 – from The Book of First Runs The BMT Broadway subway is extended from 42nd Street-Times Square to 57th Street-7th Avenue. 1939 – from The Book of Last Runs Franklin Square station on the Bridge Line in Philadelphisa is closed at all times due to declining ridership. The station had opened in 1936. It was closed on Sundays since September 1938. 1983 – from The Book of Service Changes Tuscarora Dispatch No. 14 July 1983 IRT Service Changes A new schedule went into effect on July 10, 1983 resulting in major changes to the Brooklyn service.

Late night service will run between 148th Street and 135th Street. This was the service pattern prior to the October 1965 service changes. No. 4 trains will now run to New Lots Avenue during the night hours. Rush hour, evenings and weekend trains will terminate at Utica Avenue. Midday weekday trains will continue to terminate at Atlantic Avenue. No. 5 trains will operate to Flatbush Avenue during rush hours and Atlantic Avenue middays.

The Franklin Square Station on the PATCO line would reopen in 1976 but close again in '79 as the area was not nearly as residential at that time east and north of Chinatown.The station is currently in the final phases of a $30 Million rebuild and is slated to reopen later this year as the area surrounding the station is much more residential than in years past. It will allow those in Northern Liberties in particular to be able to ride over to Center City (Locust at 9th-10th, 12th-13th or 15th-16th) as well as to Camden (and other points in South Jersey) they have not had with the area as it is now until this. |

I remember when the 5 traveled to South Ferry.Evenings and weekends. Midday,to Atlantic Ave. I always wondered why Lexington Ave trains ended at Atlantic, instead of Utica or New Lots.. It was pretty weird, seeing early number 5 trains Express on Sunday mornings.. to and from Utica. |

I remember there being signs at Franklin Ave with the exact times Lexington Ave trains would run there down to the half minute. I can also remember even earlier taking a Low-V from there to Utica and then taking a newer train to Pennsylvania Ave to visit my grandmother, and going to Fortunoff's.When my orthodontist was of course in the Williamsburg bank building (weren't they all?) I would take the train from my JHS to there and see the Lex trains terminating at Atlantic. It was on those trips that I saw the R12/14/15s mixed in and how strange they looked to me. |

But you do have a right to wonder since for some unknown reason, while there was no midday M - F express service in Bkln on the IRT, there was midday exp service in Bkln on weekends. |

The Lexington Ave. expresses had higher ridership on the Bronx end of the line. Overnight storage was in the Bronx. Mid-day weekday storage on the Eastern Parkway express tracks was so that they did not to send all of those trains back to the Bronx at the end of the morning rush. |

I recently watched a NYC true crime video.RD, a vandal, was talking about doing graffiti on those 4 train layups between Atlantic and Utica in the 1980's. |
