Hello Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), thanks for your work on this article. I hope to have comments for you shortly. Best, Mackensen (talk) 22:28, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Question about this: "During the 1970s ridership at the station declined, from 1.1 million passengers in 1975 to 573,000 in 1979." The source has numbers for 1974–1979. 1975 represents a high point in ridership; it's not clear why. The 1974 number is closer to the 1979 number. What's interesting to me is that local ridership collapses but special ridership grows somewhat to compensate. Mackensen (talk) 04:04, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
Next question:
During the 1960s the extra fare was collected at special turnstiles at the three stations served by the special. Larger tokens were used
This passage is supported by no fewer than three inline citations, plus an endnote with another three inline citations. The MTA brochure is offline but accepted in good faith. There's an HTML comment indicating that nycsubway.org is reliable for this information, though not others. Why is it reliable, and which claims does it support?

I think we're there and I'm passing the article. @ Epicgenius and Kew Gardens 613: thank you both for your hard work on this article (now I need an excuse to wander out that way some time!) Best, Mackensen (talk) 02:51, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
