, it passes through little italy, chinatown...

[Q10 Airport]

 

 

Correct! While the goes through the airport and the goes through Little Italy and Chinatown, the is best known for "traveling the world" while staying in NYC.

[Brighton Express]

I was three colors in the Subway System. Most known for my ORANGE. Who am I? And what are all my colors?

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

(Yellow B) (Black B) (Blue B)

(Old M) (Blue M)

(Yellow Q) (Red as QB)

[Threxx]

It's either the or , as they both were Orange, and Yellow, but also had their 70's colors, with the being Black, Red, Green, and the being blue or black.

(Yellow B) (Black B) (Blue B)

(Old M) (Blue M)

(Yellow Q) (Red as QB)

 

 

is the correct answer.

is correct but Q23 was first. The was not most known for its orange.

 

Where the heck did you see a green, or red ? And a blue ?

[Eric B]

QB used to be red (and QJ was black or gray); don't know what he means by green.

[Threxx]

I could have sworn the QT or the QB was green... anyway, carry on...

The (QT) and , and the old . Carry on.

 

I did say the line had three colors, as far as I remember, the had 2. The variants had other colors. Carry on.

[Threxx]

You forgot the orange , and as far as I know, the is also recognizable in orange, so that should also be an acceptable answer... and the variants ARE THE , so that means nothing...

So lets count.

 

BLACK

ORANGE

RED

YELLOW

 

4 colors. Wrong answer. The was not known for the ORANGE. Please go Q23 before this gets out of hand.

[Threxx]

Well why is there an orange at Atlantic Terminal? And so many business houses still put up an orange ? The was orange for about 10 years....

The was orange for 13 years until 2001. The was orange since '79, when my brother was born! And guess what? IT STILL IS. Damn I understand the things they say about you people. POST POST POST. Don't even bother to read shit or find the facts.

You didn't read what I said? You're not in NY right now, you're not seeing what I'm seeing. The is probably more known for it's orange rather than the yellow. The was also yellow/split for a decade, if you didn't realize...

[Brighton Express]

33 years doesn't compare at all to 13 years. Ask some people when they think of the what color they think of. The first thing that comes to my mind is the yellow. I have seen the orange Brighton Express before, when the ran Brighton Local, I remember it clearly. Orange to 21/Queensbridge. But the had a much more impact when it was yellow.

[Threxx]

^I'm done with this, speak for yourself on the whole issue...

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

Okay my go. I used to fly by at rush but now I fly by almost all the time. In my other borough A part of me flies by all times. In my third borough I fly by only when I am accompanied. Who am I

There were no [individual route] colors in the pre-Chrystie era —unless you're thinking of on the map, where all BMT routes were green. The maps didn't use route bullets, though, only line names in colored bars, but the old World's Fair line strip map did show the transfers (including BMT letters in square bullets), but I'm not sure what color they were. (Can't even find a picture of it; not even on nycsubway.org; all the pictures of the museum car are facing the other way).

Oh yes that is right. Are you talking about the BMT Designations like the [1] Brighton, the [4] Sea Beach, and so on when you say that all of the BMT routes were listed green?

 

Also, the [QT]. That was when they had the Rollsigns. Although I could have sworn that the color of the was this on an R40M.

[Eric B]

No, the numbers were not used on 1964 World's Fair maps; they began using the letters, though only on the train service guide not on the actual map. The route letters did appear on the World's Fair car strip maps, though.
