	History of the IRT, BMT, and IND Subway Lines
		The BMT lines were the Broadway Subway and Nassau Street Subway in Manhattan, the 14th Street-Eastern District line from Manhattan to Brooklyn, and Fourth Avenue, West End, and Culver lines in Brooklyn.
		The IND lines were the 8th Avenue and 6th Avenue trunk lines in Manhattan, the Queens Boulevard subway in Queens, the Concourse subway in the Bronx, the Fulton Street subway in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn/Queens Crosstown, and the line in Brooklyn via Smith/9th Streets to Church Avenue.
		The Chrystie Street connection in Manhattan, which opened in 1967, unified the Manhattan Bridge lines of the BMT with the Sixth Avenue lines of the IND, such that trains from Brooklyn now had access to all of the BMT and IND trunk lines in Manhattan (6th, 8th, Broadway, and Nassau Street).

	shock of the new
		49th Street, part of the BMT Broadway line, was renovated in the early 1970s by prestigious architect Philip Johnson with a glazed-brick covering of burnt orange, the first time the color was used in the subways.
		It's possible 49th Street was selected for the experimental makeover because it is close to the theater district.
		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.

	Manhattan Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the Manhattan side, the south tracks connect to the express tracks of the BMT Broadway Line, and the north tracks connect to the IND Chrystie Street Connection (which feeds the IND Sixth Avenue Line).
		The Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line, a streetcar company, began operations on the subway tracks in 1912 until BRT (later BMT) trackage was connected to the bridge in 1915, and the trolleys were moved to the upper level roadways.
		Concurrent with the building of the Chrystie Street Connection (opened November 26, 1967) to connect to the north tracks, the south tracks were rerouted to the BMT Broadway Line connection, and the connecting tracks to the BMT Nassau Street Line were closed and subsequently removed.

	Second Avenue Subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other connections to the Second Avenue Line were to be provided at 57th Street, via a line connecting to the Sixth Avenue Line; two express tracks would be built along that line north of West Fourth Street.
		The southernmost part of the 1947 plan, connecting the two BMT bridges to the IND Sixth Avenue Line, was built in the 1960s and opened in 1967 as the Chrystie Street Connection.
		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.
