BMT 63rd Street Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (614 words)
The BMT 63rd Street line is only used for non-revenue moves, switching to the IND 63rd Street Line west of Lexington Avenue.
Future plans for the BMT 63rd Street line have it carrying extended Q service from its current terminus at 7th Avenue and 57th Street to a connection with the proposed Second Avenue Line, when that long planned line is finally in service (scheduled for 2012).
The BMT 63rd Street line is occasionally used for revenue service as a bypass during service outages and maintenance activities, and hosted shuttle service to Long Island City via the 63rd Street tunnel for a while during construction.
