New York City Subway Nomenclature
New York City Subway nomenclature is the terminology used in the New York City Subway system. The modern system was constructed and operated by multiple companies, which were unified into a single system in 1940. The process of integrating multiple systems, as well as over a century of service changes, have lead to a complexity of conventions around station naming, directionality and the routes themselves. In particular, the New York City Subway distinguishes between ''List of New York City Subway lines, lines'', or individual sections of subway, and ''List of New York City Subway services, services'', or train routes. Services are represented visually by grouped, color coded ''service bullets'', which have changed significantly over time. Current usage Each section of the subway has three identifying characteristics, ''line'', ''service'' and ''color''. Subway lines Sections of the physical infrastructure of the subway system are called ''lines'' and are identified by thei ...

60th Street Tunnel Connection
The 60th Street Tunnel Connection or 11th Street Cut is a short rapid transit line of the New York City Subway, within the Long Island City neighborhood in Queens. It connects the 60th Street Tunnel under the East River (which connects to the BMT Broadway Line in Manhattan) with the IND Queens Boulevard Line west of Queens Plaza. The 11th Street Connection name comes from the street above the split from the 60th Street Tunnel. The line does not have any stations, and carries trains at all times but late nights. History The connection opened on December 1, 1955, and permitted BMT trains from Brooklyn to use the IND Queens Boulevard Line; the first service to do so was the ''Brighton Beach Local via Tunnel'' ( 1, now Q). This connection allowed for an increase of 20 trains per hour on Queens Boulevard. Unlike the later Chrystie Street Connection, this was of the nature of a trackage rights operation, without the mixing of BMT and IND equipment or crews, as opposed to a tru ...

Williamsburg Bridge
The Williamsburg Bridge is a suspension bridge across the East River in New York City, connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. Originally known as the East River Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge was completed in 1903 and, at long, was the longest suspension bridge span in the world until 1924. Proposed in January 1892, the bridge project was approved in 1895. Work began on June 19, 1896, under chief engineer Leffert L. Buck. Despite delays and funding shortfalls, the bridge opened on December 19, 1903. In addition to roads, walkways, and New York City Subway tracks, the bridge had four trolley tracks, which were replaced with roads in 1936 and 1949. The bridge underwent a substantial renovation in the 1980s and 1990s following the discovery of severe structural defects, and it was again being renovated in the 2020s. The Williamsburg Bridge's main span is long and is carried on four main cables, which are suspended from two ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chrystie Street Connection
The Chrystie Street Connection is a set of New York City Subway tunnels running the length of Chrystie Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It is one of the few track connections between lines of the former Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT) and Independent Subway System (IND) divisions, which together constitute the system's B Division. A major branch of the IND Sixth Avenue Line, it connects the Sixth Avenue Line to the BMT Brighton Line and BMT Fourth Avenue Line via the north side of the Manhattan Bridge and to the BMT Jamaica Line over the Williamsburg Bridge. The project, opened in 1967 and 1968, also includes the Sixth Avenue Line's Grand Street and 57th Street stations, the latter of which is not part of the connection itself. The connection was originally conceived as part of the long delayed Second Avenue Subway, and, along with the three stations added with the opening of phase 1, is one of the few completed sections of the project. __TOC__ ...
