THE SUBWAY TURNED 100 YEARS OLD ON OCTOBER 27, 2004. The Subway System of NY is the greatest system in the world. Where else can you find large amounts of 4 track mainlines with express and local underground. Today the subway is divided into two operating divisions. Division A is made up of the numbered lines 1-9 plus the Times Square shuttle. It is better known as the IRT, the original line opening in 1904. The cars and tunnels are smaller the Division B, but the IRT trains seem to move more people and express trains seem much faster. Division B is made up of the lettered lines A-Z plus the Franklin Shuttle. This division is made up of the former BMT (Brooklyn- Manhattan Transit) and IND (Independent). The BMT lines go back to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit days, portions of it lines pre date 1900. The IND was built and operated by the City starting in the 1930's. I have divided the NY Subway sections.
