The Eighth Avenue Line is the original rapid transit line of the Independent Subway System (IND), now run by the New York City Transit Authority as part of the New York City Subway system. For more than three decades from its inception in 1932, many New Yorkers called the entire IND system the Eighth Avenue Subway, though this was never its official name. Except south of World Trade Center station (where the local tracks end), the whole line is quadruple-tracked, with one local and one express track in each direction. The northern section of the Eighth Avenue Line (north of 145th Street) was once known as the Washington Heights Line.

A schematic of the line south of 145th Street

The Eighth Avenue Line, entirely in Manhattan, begins at the terminal station of Inwood-207th Street as a two-track subway. Two tracks from the 207th Street Yard join at a flying junction, and there are four tracks through Dyckman Street before the extra tracks end. Two local tracks begin at 174th Street Yard, north of Washington Heights-168th Street. They come in between the existing tracks, running through the center of Washington Heights-168th Street before moving to the outside.

At 145th Street station, the Concourse Line (B ⁽¹⁾ D) joins, with a flying junction just to the south to connect the tracks. Except during rush hours, B service begins at 145th Street; D trains switch there to the express tracks. Between the 59th Street-Columbus Circle and 50th Street stations, a flying junction connects both express and local tracks from the north to the beginning of the Sixth Avenue Line (B ^(123a) D) under 53rd Street, and another flying junction south of 50th Street connects the tracks from the south to the Queens Boulevard Line, also under 53rd Street (E).

South of these junctions, the line continues down Eighth Avenue to 14th Street, where it turns southeast under Greenwich Avenue to connect again with the Sixth Avenue Line (B ^(123a) D F V ⁽¹²³⁾) in an eight track, two level station called West Fourth Street-Washington Square. At this point, local tracks of both lines interconnect south of the station in another elaborate flying junction which allows local trains of either line to continue south on either the Eighth Avenue Line to Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn or on the Sixth Avenue Line to the Lower East Side and Brooklyn.

The line then continues south under Sixth Avenue (which was built as part of the subway project) and Church Street. North of Chambers Street, the local tracks form a separate but parallel line to stub-end at World Trade Center station just east of the express tracks. These tracks are now the terminal for the E train; the C train switches to the express tracks at Canal Street.

January 23, 2005 fire

Around 2:00 pm on January 23, 2005, a fire destroyed the interlocking plant at Chambers Street. This caused restriction of A service and complete suspension of C service (which serves as a local variant of A service). Specifically, about one-third of the normal number of A trains ran. Some newspaper articles have blamed the fire on a homeless person trying to keep warm, but that has not been confirmed. January 23 is the 23rd day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

A homeless man pushes a cart down the street. ...

The C in Brooklyn (east of Jay Street-Borough Hall) was replaced by an extension of V service on weekdays. Note that the Eighth Avenue Line platforms at 50th Street are only served by the C, and were thus closed; the only uptown service to 50th Street was via the Queens Boulevard Line's connection (E service) into the lower level of the station. The Brooklyn Bridge in 1890, seven years after its opening Kings County in New York State Brooklyn is the most populous of the five boroughs of New York City. ...

Additionally, the A, which had formerly used the express tracks on the Eighth Avenue Line south of 168th Street-Washington Heights (where the C ended), switched to local at 145th Street, serving the two local stations that were only served by the C (155th Street and 163rd Street-Amsterdam Avenue).

The A also used the local tracks in Brooklyn, serving all stations. Direct rush-hour A trips to Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street were suspended in favor of the always-running S (connecting Rockaway Park Shuttle). The S-Rockaway Park Shuttle is a shuttle train service in Queens, New York on the New York City Subway. ...

Before the fire, from 9 PM to midnight on weekday nights, the C was the only service on the local tracks north of 59th Street-Columbus Circle; the D was switched to local to cover this. The A was switched to local service on weekends to pick up the slack. During rush hour, extra B trains were added, starting on or before January 28. January 28 is the 28th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ...

Until the morning of January 28, the MTA moved the A to the parallel Sixth Avenue Line, Rutgers Street Tunnel and Culver Line (commonly known as the F route) from West Fourth Street-Washington Square to Jay Street-Borough Hall between 10 PM and 5 AM, in order to perform critical repairs. January 28 is the 28th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ...

The last suspended service, rush-hour trips to Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street, was restored on February 14, 2005; until then those trips required a transfer to the S Rockaway Park Shuttle.

The S-Rockaway Park Shuttle is a shuttle train service in Queens, New York on the New York City Subway. ...

Initial estimates gave a time of three to five years to restore full service, due to the rareness of the destroyed equipment. That was later cut back to six to nine months to bring back normal operations. However, C service and 70% of A service was restored at 05:00 on February 2, 2005, only ten days after the fire. On April 21, full service was restored. February 2 is the 33rd day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Background

The Eighth Avenue Line, and the remainder of the IND system were built by the City of New York partly to provide modern rapid transit facilities and partly to compete with the private companies, the BMT and IRT.-1... A 1914 map showing what was at the time the proposed expansion for the BRT. The only major differences from what was built is that a new 60th Street Tunnel was used rather than the Queensboro Bridge, the Manhattan-side Brooklyn Bridge connection was never built, and several lines ended... The Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) was the operator of the original New York Subway line that opened in 1904 and additional rapid transit lines in the City of New York. ...

A subway under Eighth Avenue was an early goal of transit planners in the city. The BMT, in particular, hoped to operate the Eighth Avenue Line as an extension of its Broadway Line, operating under Central Park West (Eighth Avenue) to the upper reaches of Manhattan. For this purpose, the express tracks north of the BMT's 57th Street station were continued north and stub-ended in anticipation of the service. These tracks have since been connected to the BMT 63rd Street Line to Queens, with future connections to the planned Second Avenue Line to the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Harlem. This article describes subways as mass transit lines. ... In the United States of America, transit describes local area common carrier passenger transportation configured to provide scheduled service on fixed routes on a non-reservation basis. ... Manhattan is an island bordering the lower Hudson River. ... Queens County in New York State Queens, the most ethnically diverse county in the United States, is geographically the largest of the five boroughs of New York City. ... The Upper East Side is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, that lies between Central Park and the East River. ... This article is about the Harlem neighborhood in New York City. ...

The whole line north of Chambers Street opened at midnight on the morning of September 10, 1932; the short bit under Fulton Street, connecting to the Cranberry Street Tunnel, opened on February 1, 1933. September 10 is the 253rd day of the year (254th in leap years). ... 1932 is a leap year starting on a Friday. ... February 1 is the 32nd day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 1933 was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ...

The express tracks were always served by the A service. AA service ran local, and was renamed to K in 1987 and C in 1989. The A Eighth Avenue Express and C Eighth Avenue Local are two services of the New York City Subway. ... K (and the earlier KK) was the label for two completely different New York City Subway services. ... 1987 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
