INDman Posted December 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 5, 2009 It is still there, I have been through it. It is not used because there is no demand for 6th Av/Broadway service. It is used for non-revenue moves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted December 5, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 5, 2009 Hi: The Chrystie Street connector was in use from July 1,1968 to August 27,1976. From 1968 to 1972 a rush hour service, the (KK) operated from the old 168th Street-Jamaica Terminal to 57th Street-Sixth Avenue then from 1973 until Friday August 27, 1976, it operated as the on a shortened route from Eastern Parkway to 57th Street-Sixth Avenue. In the days of (KK) service, the (KK) made B Stops and the made A Stops: * 168th Street-Jamaica Terminal A/B * 160th Street B * Sutphin Boulevard A/B * Queens Boulevard B * Metropolitan Avenue B * 121st Street A * 111th Street A * 104th Street B * Woodhaven Boulevard A * Forest Parkway A * Elderts Lane A/B * Cypress Hills B * Crescent Street A * Norwood Avenue B * Cleveland Street A * Alabama Avenue B * Van Siclen Avenue B * Eastern Parkway A/B The (KK) made twelve stops; the made ten stops; four of these were common stops. When the (KK) became the and terminated at Eastern Parkway, the , now the 70(J) began alternating to make the A, B and A/B stops. The made its' final run on Friday August 27, 1976. Reason cited: "Low ridership". On subway maps from 1968-1976, Nassau Street had a little color with 70(M) and 70(J). On a side note, trains operated from 168th Street-Jamaica Terminal to Coney Island via Brighton Local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
