EE Broadway Local

Hi! You like Metro, our light rail? Right now it runs one line running twenty miles and stopping at twenty-eight stations. Many Metro stations are simple island platforms but a couple are wall platforms. Like the subway, doors open and close automatically at the stations and a chime sounds as the doors begin to close. FINDs show the approaching station and a female voice announces the station and which side the doors open. Platforms feature shade and cool water fountains. The L.R.V.s are nice inside and feature an area for bicycles (I think three per car).

Mr. William Jefferson Clinton? Soitenly! He's my favorite President. Mr. Rudolph W. Giuliani is my favorite Mayor and Mr. Hugh Carey is my favorite Governor.

Hi! Kingsbridge Bus, while the 70(EE) is my favorite, I like all the old subway routes. Next to 70(EE), I like the 70(QB), , 70(AA), 70(CC), and .

I'm kind of surprised the M.T.A. did a switch. In effect, by keeping the designation, they're essientially extending the via the Chrystie Street Connector to cover the now former . Instead of running with the on Fourth Avenue, the will run with the on Broadway/Queens Boulevard.

How Ya, 70(EE)?

NX Express, We're still alive!

Kingsbridge Bus, it might be interesting if your profile page matched mine, at least colors wise.

Just a small one.

Hi, Good Evening, Kingsbridge Bus! How Ya?

Do you know me?

Sounds good.

I see! You and K.B. traded avatars. :cool: trick! :tup:

How Ya? I see you changed your avatar.

Maybe something of interest: Before Chrystie Street opened on November 26, 1967, the ran Astoria to Coney Island via Broadway Express and West End but ran during "odd" hours: Weekdays 6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm and Saturdays (the started from 57th Street) 6am to 8pm while the ran Chambers Street to Coney Island via Nassau Street and West End. RIP and 1964-1967.

Congratulations, my friend!

M.T.A.'s bad 1976: August 27th (Friday) 70(EE); ; Brooklyn Express cancelled. 70(CC) 70(E) switched southern terminals. 70(GG) shortened to Smith-Ninth Streets. Also in 1976 SAS left out of Capital Budget. In 1975: subway tokens increased from 35 to 50 cents; 70(SS) Culver Shuttle closed May 11th. A little bit of good news: the Rockaways double fare was ended with the new 50 cents token.

No, and it's an intersting story, NX Express. The SAS actually was going to run to The Bronx. In 1974, the plan was to reactivate the old NYW & B ROW south of East 180th Street (and stations) for the SAS. A connector was going to be built at Whitlock Avenue. A branch was going to be built from the Dyre Avenue Line to Co-Op City. If this had been built as planned, the would've run to Co-Op City, the would've terminated at Whitlock Avenue, the would've run to Dyre Avenue via 63d Street and Second Avenue and the would've run Whitehall to Pelham Bay Park via Second Avenue. The 70(8) would've been given a new ROW alongside Park Avenue in The Bronx. Sadly, the Fiscal Crises began hitting in 1975 and the M.T.A. had a bad 1976. Only four sections of Second Avenue were completed - all in Manhattan.

The Third Avenue Line. If you look at a Bronx Map, it's really not that narrow between Third/Webster Avenues and Westchester/Southern and the Concourse. When the 70(8) ran, it provided a nice alternative, especially along Bronx Park and The Botanic Garden on Webster and Gun Hill. Which is why we got the BX55 and which to this day makes the same stops that the 70(8) did.

Kind of - I work for BK (Burger King). Nice people to work for. Average right around forty hours at $9 per. That oven story is so sick! :tdown: Glad the little one is going to be okay.

Not too good an idea to take the <4> off Jerome, I think. Maybe better to have the or serve Third and Webster narrowing that Middle Bronx gap that we have and if East Gun Hill is wide enough, extending it past White Plains to at least the Gun Hill Road Dyre Avenue station. The (U) and (Y) look nice.

Hola! I just got home from work and your nice subway map was the first thing I looked at. Busy today for Saint Patrick's Day - a lot of customers were wearing green and one was even wearing a shirt!

Good job. my friend! You've not only extended the to Hollis and Queens Village, you've got the on a new Queens route! I lke it.

No, I haven't, NX Express. Windows Live One Care is still working and is due to end on August 14th. I'll likely wait and see if they e-mail me about ending earlier.

Sounds good.

Thanks. Is Spyware Doctor reputable/good?
