Today, only the 42nd St., Franklin Ave, and Rockaway shuttles carry the S designation. Before double letters were dropped, shuttles were designated as SS trains. In those days, S was used for revenue collection trains, which also carried "No Passengers" signs. And, last but not least, the now-defunct Aqueduct Special was also an S train. Yes, this was the route which started from the now-abandoned lower level at 42nd St.
