I am now beginning to look through the dresser drawer that my 1974 New York City Subway Map And Guide was in.

The map was under the 1968 Rapid Transit Guide and above my Sun Tran bus schedule. It was on the left side of the dresser drawer.

I still have my 1964 Subway Map with the 1964 World's Fair station on it and my 1964 PATH Map.

Yay! 😮 I have located my New York City 1974 Subway Guide with the MOMA circles! 😊

The map was in my Tucson Transit Users Guide between the last two pages of the booklet!

I was worried but now I am relieved!

I have misplaced or lost in my room my 1974 New York City Subway Map And Guide! 😢

I still have my 1939 Federal Writers'Project New York City Subway and Elevated Map, my 1968 Rapid Transit Guide and my 2015, 2016 and 2018 London Underground Guides. 🙂

I hope to find it. Please pray that I do find it.

I just can't get over how normalized sacrificing service for track access has become. Why isn't anyone crying out about productivity or flagging or GO format? Again, literally nowhere else in the world has such a maintenance problem as us -- the question here should be "how do we streamline maintenance practices to achieve more with less?" not "how much time can we spend doing maintenance before we have no ridership?" 

No one else has 24/7 service like New York City does.

In London, there are a few Tube lines that do run at night on Friday and Saturday.

On Tuesday June 24, 1939, the New York City Guide A Comprehensive Guide To The Five Boroughs Of The Metropolis -  Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Richmond - Prepared by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration in New York City debuted in bookstores.

This 708 page guide included a chapter with a map on the 1939 World's Fair and a large folded map in a back pocket. The map is two sided and is a map of Manhattan on one side and a subway and elevated map on the other side.

The New York Times calls the New York City Guide one of the ten best books on New York City.

Where do the M12 and the M55 run, please?

We are enjoying a true spring here in Tucson.

It has not reached 100° yet and today is May 19th.

We have seen temperatures in the 70's, 80's and the 90's.

The IRT (Interborough) Subway was the first to open the subway in 1904 starting with the Lexington Avenue Line or current  line in Manhattan. The IRT runs in all boroughs except Staten Island. The subway holds 7 Lines include 2 express ones and a nostalgia skip- stop that ended in Spring 2005. The lines are the  and the legendary retired skip- stop  train. The stocks of the IRT is the R62, R62A, R142, R142A, and the R188. The R262 is underway of being built during the IND/BMT's R211 delivery and debut in 2020. Also, remember 1993's first NTT? The R110A and R110B? Those retired. Talk among yourselves peeps.

Actually the Interborough Rapid Transit did not serve Lexington Avenue in 1904.

The original line turned on 42nd Street and then served Broadway.

Actually, the Eighth Avenue IND opened first in September 1932. The first subway cars were the R1-R9.

By 1940 when the Sixth Avenue IND opened, the Eighth Avenue IND was largely complete.

On eBay, I was the winning bidder for a 1974 New York Subway Guide.

My winning bid was $12.75.

My map is used but beautiful.

The cover features the MOMA circles:

There is a large tear along the bottom crease where the fold has worn loose but that is ok. I will be careful with opening my map.

I was eleven years old when this map came out.

What the

Service Change  Posted: 05/03/2019  8:48PM 

Northbound trains are running on the express track from Avenue X to Smith-9 Sts because we removed power to retrieve a shopping cart from the tracks that caused a train's brakes to activate at Avenue P.  

Wow!

Has anyone else brought up the fact “DeKalb Av” is mispronounced on the  and ?

How is DeKalb Avenue pronounced, please?

I am scheduled to have an ultrasound on my right leg and knee. Dr. Jose Fernandez suspects I have Chronic Venous Insufficiency or CVI. 

My favorite has to be Radar O'Reilly followed by Maxwell Q. Klinger.

I do not think pizza is fast food.

Which Jersey City bus routes are subcontracted by New Jersey Transit?

I took Metro North from 125th Street to Cold Spring On Hudson and back. A beautiful ride in both directions.

Are the really cutting bus stops in Alphabet City?

I feel for the conductor. He was very brave enough to fight back and hold his attacker.

Any  service to Lefferts when it is a Fulton local line is a disaster. You’d be introducing two more merges and screwing over Liberty Av riders.  The only way to regulate the  to two branches is to have a new Fulton local line to Euclid (  maybe) and then have the  run express to Lefferts while the  split RPK and Far Rockaway.

As for the  to RPK, that’s one of the worst ideas I have heard.

The used to run to Rockaway Park.
