NYC Subway |
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.
