Flushing Local

Main Street to Times Square

The 7 Flushing Local is a service of the New York City Subway, running local service along the full length of the IRT Flushing Line, with express service (7 Flushing Express) denoted by a diamond-shaped 7 train logo rather than a circular one. The express service runs in the peak direction (to Times Square during mornings, to Main Street–Flushing during evenings) between 06:30 and 22:00 (6:30 am and 10:00 pm ET) on weekdays. Express service to Manhattan is also provided after games at Shea Stadium. The service is colored purple on official maps and signage and is the only route on the Flushing Line. This route is the only one in the system to run 11-car trains, the longest trains on the IRT. Odd train lengths are rare, as cars are typically produced and operated in pairs. The 7 is known as the International Express because the route travels through several different ethnic neighborhoods.
