Right where the old Walton HS (for girls only) was.

Used to be

79 75 48  37 33 BN19
81 43 88. 46

One of the few boxes where 75 ran 2d due to 79 ahead of 48.

Today is your lucky day 3511, I have two assignment cards from 1967 & 1975:

Lucky day? Both showed me wrong.

Actually, 75 was 2d due after 48 moved south to new quarters.

I blew it on 88/43.

But I have been wrong before.  Just ask my ex-wife. Or, as my ol' man used to say when I was a teenager...."What the hell do you know?"

Well here is the updated BARB version of 3390 E79,48,81,75  L37,56  L46fast. Again since new quarters for 75/33 pushed them a few blocks south northern boxes have had some changes.

Thanks, Mac.

A key intersection for these boxes was always Jerome Avenue at Kingsbridge Road. The 1996 alarm assignment and reference guide listed  E75 (shortly before they moved) as first due there (Box 3380). From their old quarters it was a straight run up Jerome Avenue.

Mac, Do you have the BARB for 3380 and what route would 81/46 take to get to box 3390? Do They take Kingsbridge Road or around the reservoir?

 

[mac8146]

Will check 3380 Monday as for 3390 around reservoir is response taken, I think Jerome and kings bridge is 3382 will verify Monday

 

[3511]

3382 it is. Look forward to your reply. thanks.

Thanks, mac. Appreciate your reply. Interesting data if you follow such stuff.

In 1996, Kingsbridge and Jerome Assignment was
75 48 79 81

196 and Jerome
79 75 48 81

Concourse at Kingsbridge same as today. Before their move, I believe 48 was first due.

All makes sense based on changes in locations. Starfire never seemed to correct for 75's relocation. 81/46 creeping more and more east of the reservoir. Perhaps a new specialized rig for both...a pontoon attachment?
