iGeMiNix Posted May 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2016 Since the SAS maps edits are out. Just wanted to post something I found recently which is a March 2001 map when the 6th Avenue existed and 6th Avenue express tracks were packed with 3 lines. This is just the line of the map posted. Sorry about the markings lol. Younger me liked to write on maps. Higher resolution pictures on imgur. https://imgur.com/a/DqvF5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iGeMiNix Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted May 28, 2016 Yeah it's a shame its the only old map that was kept lol. I used to stockpile a bunch of maps when I was younger and they all got thrown out over the years. Most of the map is relatively the same as current lines but if people want to see the rest of the map, I can try to take more pictures of it.

Q43LTD Posted May 28, 2016 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2016 So many things to note from this old map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted May 29, 2016 Share #5 Posted May 29, 2016 Why did 6th Avenue have three express lines ? That seems a bit excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iGeMiNix Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted May 29, 2016 Why did 6th Avenue have three express lines ? That seems a bit excessive. It's the same when Broadway had running express when the north side of the bridge was closed or before that yellow . There is no where else to put the lines that wouldn't cause a huge headache with the switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Trains99 Posted June 19, 2016 Share #10 Posted June 19, 2016 Why did 6th Avenue have three express lines ? That seems a bit excessive. Well the was express in Brooklyn. Diverting over to the local after W 4 St would been pointless and probably would backed up running behind it. It's the same when Broadway had running express when the north side of the bridge was closed or before that yellow . There is no where else to put the lines that wouldn't cause a huge headache with the switches. could of went local after Canal St. Similar to the situation at West 4 St. diverting to local would backed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micstromme Posted June 19, 2016 Share #11 Posted June 19, 2016 All this talk makes me wonder if the will become local in Manhattan when it comes to second avenue and if the will return to being express or will it become the replacement for the local in Manhattan. Also, I am starting to see inklings of the at the Lexington-63rd Station. Its becoming a reality that the SAS is fast approaching!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
