Service history

The designation B was originally intended to designate express trains originating in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan and operating in midtown Manhattan on the 6th Avenue Line. However, the original B service, beginning with the opening of the 6th Avenue Line in 1940 and continuing until opening of the Chrystie Street Connection in 1967 ran only as a local train between Washington Heights and 34th Street and 6th Avenue, near the Empire State Building and only during rush hours. This service was designated BB in conformance with Independent Subway System protocol of using double letters to indicate local services. The R1 subway car was the first order of original passenger stock for the IND New York City Subway. ... A rollsign on the MBTA Red Line in Boston. ...

Subsequent to the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection the former BB trains were combined with the former T service of the West End Line, creating a through service from Washington Heights to Coney Island.

The partial closure of the Manhattan Bridge to subway service between 1986 and 2004 impacted B service by severing the connection between the northern and southern portions of the service. Beginning on April 26, 1986, the northern B (via 6th Avenue, informally called "Orange B" and the southern B (via Broadway, informally called "Yellow B") operated as two different services. The Orange B more or less duplicated the former BB service, and the Yellow B was like the old T service. The former B service resumed December 11, 1988.
