I love Trains99 Posted June 12, 2016 Share #12754 Posted June 12, 2016 Question, pre 2001, what exactly were the routes that served all Coney Island Bound Lines in Brooklyn? I know that the used to be the full time West End line. The used to be the full time Brighton Line. The ? Used to be the Sea Beach Line. I don't know what served Culver. (Other then the Culver Shuttle) Was 4th Avenue served by the or the ? And when was the introduced? Was it introduced after the opening of the 63 connecter? from 1967-2001 Coney Island-Stillwell Ave served the West End line to Coney Island from 1967-2001. It run all times. Until Feb 22, 2004 the swapped route running as express to Brighton Beach during weekdays only. served Brighton to Coney Island also from 1967-2001 at all times. Feb 22, 2004 it swapped the former on West End. served the West End line from July 22, 2001 to Feb 22, 2004 when the Manhattan Bridge north tracks leading to the IND Sixth Avenue Line closed for reconstruction. had run full-time from Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue to Manhattan via the BMT West End Line and Manhattan Bridge north tracks onto the Sixth Avenue Line, but it had to be split when the north side tracks closed. was put in as part of previous 1st split in 1986-1988 6 Av closure of the Bridge. The was filled for the former service. The made all stops made except that didn't stop at Queensboro Plaza as last stop. 4 Av was always served by trains. was local along 4 Av from 1988-1994. always been around since 1960 but it had other names like QJ and QB up until 1985. From 1986-1988 the served it's current route 57 St(Broadway Express) (Brighton Express) to Brighton Beach while ran local to Coney Island. From 1988-2001 was shifted over to 6 Av and used this bullet while Broadway side of the Manhattan bridge closed. I hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted June 13, 2016 Share #12757 Posted June 13, 2016 Always wondered why the S/B 14-Chambers has no timers but the N/B does. Far as I can tell you hit the Canal-ish curve at about 43-44mph, hard, on the S/B, but N/B the fast part getting past Christopher isn't much more than 41-42 and it's less of a sharp curve before 14. Just a station timer kind of slowdown or something I'm missing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to correct a couple things The Train was cut from Brooklyn during Middays and Weekends from April to November of 1995 due to Bridge work with the Trains replacing it running to 21st Street. The went 4th Local on Weekday evenings/nights/weekends up until 2002. From 1993-1995 the went to 86th Street only due to some work at Coney Island 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted June 14, 2016 Share #12766 Posted June 14, 2016 An original side sign from the slants? Quite the rarity if you ask me. Only the first cars that were delivered came with these particular rolls. Later ones, including the updated reproduction of this sign in particular, would follow the design used on the 42s and 44s. Those signs had the route and destinations in Standard font with the route in a hollow ring in the center of the sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
