Extent and service

The IND Culver Line is served by the F as a local for its entire length.

Despite the fact that there are two express tracks on the northern part of the route and one on the southern, with express stations distributed along the line, there is no express service on the Culver Line at the present time. Hope for early restoration of expresses was thwarted by a serious signal fire at Bergen Street that is still under repair. When additional subway cars arrive and repairs are complete, a restoration of express service hasn't been ruled out


The Culver Line is a four-track line, entirely underground except for Smith-Ninth Streets and 4th Avenue, the only above-ground section of the original IND system. A massive steel and concrete viaduct spans the Gowanus Canal. This structure is now referred to as the Culver Viaduct or Culver Line Viaduct. The line then proceeds east to Park Slope where the local tracks diverge to a station at 15th Street and Prospect Park West while the express tracks take a direct route beneath Prospect Park. The line then parallels the route of the original Culver Line surface railroad into Church Avenue station, last stop of the original IND service. Four tail tracks continue underground as a terminal facility, and four more tracks ascend the Culver Ramp to the BMT Culver Line Underground as an adjective commonly refers to something that is either below the ground or outside of public consciousness. ...

Culver Ramp

The Culver Ramp, located on McDonald Avenue between Cortelyou Road and Ditmas Avenue, connects the subway portion of the IND Culver Line with the former BMT Culver Line elevated structure. Despite being a part of the IND Division, the Culver elevated portion is controlled by BMT radio dispatch, so train operators change between the IND (B-2) and BMT (B-1) radio frequencies at this point. The BMT Culver Line is a rapid transit line of the BMT division of the New York City Subway, running from Coney Island through Gravesend to Ditmas Avenue, where it becomes the IND Culver Line. ...


Recapture of the BMT Culver Line elevated structure in order to institute IND service to Coney Island was a high priority of New York City planners as a fruit of Unification in 1940, the takeover of the privately-owned BMT and IRT by the City, which built and owned the IND.

History

Service changes in 1954
