		The Station had a train accident when a BMT Standard crashed through the bumper of the 168th Street Station.
		The next time I rode the line was in 1985, and the J only went as far as 121 Street.
		It seems so foolish because the el remained standing right up to where the Sutphin Blvd station was located right until the cut it back to 121st St nto do final connections to Archer Ave subway at 121st St...really in the middle of no where.

		Where the present station is a total replacement, an asterisk appears after the date; in a few cases small parts of the original may still remain (hidden structural parts, or an entrance, and so on).
		Trains are shown using the official letter or number as used on the trains and in stations, except that a small "a" is added in some cases to show a second variant routing being operated at the same time as the main routing.
		Some stations have been enlarged and partly rebuilt, but so long as the original part is (mostly) in use, the original date is given.

		It seems that the extensions on the M would not have to be too long, because the elevated portion of the line's stations seem to be able to accomodate 8.5 cars.
		What did they have in mind with building only "local" stations on the Jamaica el between 168th and Crescent (which basically would have been the first "express" station, at least unless they planned to rebuild the Fulton St portion of the Jamaica el)?
		The stations were built in typical "local" station design with a provision for a 3rd track.

		I remember crossing Jamaica Avenue to go to the egg store by going up and over the el station because it was considered too dangerous for a young child to cross the busy street.
		There was 116th Street and Rockaway Blvd and the pubs on 103rd street where we hung out all summer while the music rocked and had a ball.
		In the early 50s-60s the Green Bus Line had greatest drivers and the noisiest buses, it always felt that they would disintergrate at any given time, but who cared, it was enjoyable entertainment for a dime.
