   The subway system ran an "EE" train as a local that started   
   at Continental Ave (Forest Hills, Queens) alongside the express   
   "E" and "F" trains towards Manhattan.  It veered off after   
   Queens Plaza and took the alternate route into THe City,   
   using the (then generally called) BMT trackage.   
      
   I hear there's another EE still hanging   
   around, although he lives way out west   
   these days... (hi, Phil).
