I recently acquired a map and route guide from 1968 (the year that the MTA was created). The guide includes estimated trip times for all of the lines, which I thought I might post here. I'll start with the IRT lines, which are all listed as the time to midtown, and in some cases with the time for the remainder of the route and some not. To be honest, I think these times are wild -- trains must have been flying! Note the inclusion of the Third Ave El too...
