		The BMT 63rd Street Line is a rapid transit line of the BMT division of the New York City Subway system.
		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 line shares only one point of contact with its IND twin; west of Lexington Avenue, a double crossover allows northbound and southbound trains of either line to cross over to the other line.

		The Second Avenue Line would end just north of that connection, at 149th Street, with transfers to the IRT White Plains Road Line and the elevated IRT Third Avenue Line, the latter of which would be demolished south of 149th.
		Other parts of that plan were carried out, including the connection at 57th Street (moved to 63rd Street) and the abandonment of the IRT Third Avenue Line south of 149th Street, but the rest of the Second Avenue Line was not built.
		The first segment (phase 1) is a proposed stub line from the Upper East Side at 96th Street with a connection via the BMT 63rd Street Line to the BMT Broadway Line for service downtown.

		The passageway has been lined with old-time photos of the Staten Island Ferry from the 1930s (note that the ferry is about six blocks from Bowling Green station; ferry passengers have a much shorter walk from the BMT Whitehall Street station, which is inaccessible from here).
		BMT tracks on the south side of the bridge were then rerouted to Broadway, and their connection to Chambers Street was terminated.
		In the late 1960s, following the lead of Grand Street, the entire BMT 4th Avenue/Broadway line from 77th Street in the south to 5th Avenue in the north was completely renovated with a white tile scheme with floor-to-ceiling splashes of color containing the station nameplate.

		From Bedford the line ran on a surface private right-of-way several blocks south to Park Place, which it crossed at grade, and then in an open cut with street overpasses through what is now Crown Heights and Flatbush, as far as Church Lane (now Church Avenue) in the Town and Village of Flatbush.

		The last major addition was the opening of a new subway tunnel, August 1, 1920, under Flatbush Avenue connecting the Brighton Line at Prospect Park with the 4th Avenue Subway at DeKalb Avenue, thus providing the Brighton Line with a connection to the Manhattan Bridge and Montague Street tunnel lines and the Broadway (Manhattan) subway.

		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 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.
		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.

	The Second Avenue Subway
		During the 1960's when the Chrystie Street line was built and the IND was connected to the Manhattan Bridge, a provision was made for Grand Street station to be shared by the Second Avenue line.
		The 2AS was supposed to be a full trunk line extending from Water Street downtown to the Harlem River north of 125th Street, but the section approved for construction was from 63rd Street to the Harlem River.
		The line already has a guaranteed connection to the 63rd Street line which feeds into both the BMT Broadway and IND Sixth Avenue lines.

		The Atlantic Avenue Station complex is comprised of four stations: the Atlantic Avenue station of the Eastern Parkway IRT subway; the Pacific Street BMT subway station; the Atlantic Avenue Station of the Brighton BMT subway; and the Flatbush Avenue terminal of the Long Island Rail Road.
		Key elements of the rehabilitation included a new lower-level concourse connecting to new and reconfigured passageways for the Eastern Parkway IRT line of the Atlantic Avenue Station; mezzanine and street entrance rehabilitation for the Pacific Street BMT Station; and mezzanine, station entrance, and elevator/escalator improvements at the Brighton BMT line of the Atlantic Avenue Station.
		A particularly significant challenge was to underpin the existing roof, platforms, and tracks of the IRT station to permit widening of the passageways beneath without unduly impacting the operation of trains or movement of passengers in the station during construction.

		The bulk of the 7 line was opened to here in 1917 and for over 8 years this was the end of the line.

		When the Metropolitan Street Railway stated its interest in bidding on the new lines, Belmont made it clear that since the IRT had been the city's first subway, it should be given sole right to construct any additional lines.
		The new lines connected the beaches of Coney Island with the theaters of Times Square, and the citizens of Queens with the shopkeepers of Manhattan.
		The BMT and the IRT took their guaranteed profits year by year, but only the IRT returned any revenue to the city--a paltry $19 million over the entire term of the Dual Contracts.

	Gothamist: $1.3 Billion to Start Second Avenue Subway Prep

		From the Community board meeting a couple of weeks ago about the 72nd and 96th street stations, they are going to have to tear up parts of Second Ave in the low 90s to build it.
		Legend has it that the walls of the Grand Street station are built to be "easily" knocked down and there are trackways for the Second Avenue Line behind these walls.
