How many words using the available route letters that currently exist (now) or used to exist recently (1968 to now) - can you make, that also represent connections between train routes. One must provide the routes and the connection points, and when the trip could be accomplished.

 

For example: SAM - A rider now can take the Times Square "S" to 42nd Street, change to the A-train to West 4th Street, where M service is available.

 

Another example: HELL - A rider could have taken the H-shuttle to the E train at Broad Channel to change for the LL at Eighth Avenue-14th Street in 1968.

 

Please note that fictional routes do not count, nor do proposed but never enacted routes. For example, from the Second Avenue T subway does not count - it does not exist yet. Double letters if they existed within the time periods can be used.

 

Have Fun.

Mike

This thread hasn't moved in a few days so i'm going to (attempt) to bring some life back into it:

 

Pictured below is a component of a "classic" SMEE car. What is it? What does it do?

Is that a compressor? For the air systems? (horn, brakes n all)

Nope, a compressor would have two visible cylinders on the end. What I meant by "classic" was that this device was eventually replaced by something else that performed the same function.
