Okay...I never heard those Cowdery announcements for "Westchester Square", "Parkchester", and "Morrison Avenue" before.

When I was still working on the line, the Ettinger "Morrison - Soundview Avenues" was replaced with a Cowdery "Morrison Avenue - Soundview" recording when the station name was changed to the latter. (Although only a handful of trains ever received this station name update. Same with the rarity of hearing the Cowdery "Flatbush Avenue - Brooklyn College" on the (2) or the (5) lines.)

Changing "Parkchester - East 177 Street" to Parkchester makes sense, but honestly could have been better done by just cutting the last part of the original announcement out.

Removing "Soundview" and "East Tremont Avenue" makes zero sense. So, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that these new station name files accidentally slipped in from the failed (2)/(5) line pilot of shortening announcements to reduce dwell times. I believe Cowdery had recorded all of the station names in the A Division into "shorter" versions. (Like 14 Street - Union Square becoming just Union Square.) Maybe that's where these came from.

EDIT - And now that I'm watching the rest of the video, I've also never heard the Cowdery "East 143 Street" (RIP St. Mary's Street lol), or "Third Avenue - 138 Street". Nothing was removed from the latter, so I guess it was rerecorded for the pilot to avoid confusing with Third Avenue - 149 Street. Still a mystery as to why it shows up here, unless the person programming this simply didn't care.

DOUBLE EDIT - Hunter College is gone, too?!!?

TRIPLE EDIT - Interesting if this program apparently somehow kept the Ettinger station names for Bergen Street, Grand Army Plaza, and Eastern Parkway - Brooklyn Museum, when the (5) lost them at all stations shared with the (2) and (3).
