  IRT Flushing Line at AllExperts
The Flushing Line is one of only two New York City non-shuttle subway lines that hosts only a single service and does not share operating trackage with any other line or service; the other is the BMT Canarsie Line, carrying the service.
IRT trains simply continued from the Queensboro Line and Queensboro Bridge onto the lines to Astoria and Flushing, originally called the Corona Line or Woodside and Corona Line before it was completed to Flushing–Main Street.
Currently and historically, IRT subway services on the Flushing Line were assigned the number, though this was not shown on any equipment until the introduction of the R12 class cars in 1948.

 IRT Corona/Flushing Line
The Flushing Line (originally called the Woodside and Corona Line) was one of two lines of the NYC subway to have been operated jointly by two different divisions: the IRT and BMT.
The original intent of the line was to connect the LIRR and the New York Central railroads.
The line was extended to Times Square with a stop at 5th Ave & 42nd St. The line runs under the 42nd St shuttle and ends at the lower level IND 8th Ave & 42nd St station's east wall.

 Times Square Complex
The second phase that is currently ongoing covers the BMT Broadway and IRT Flushing line platforms, the passageway behind the BMT 42nd Street side to West 41st Street on the IRT side, and the associated maze of winding ramps, and a new transfer passageway from the BMT Broadway directly downstairs to the IRT Flushing Line.
When the IRT extension on the West Side opened on 7/1/1918, the shuttle line was cut off to the north and was reduced to the current shuttle between here and Grand Central.
The line's original presence is most evident to the west end of the station, by a pedestrian bridge to Track #4 as the tracks merge with the current IRT west side route.

 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal (IND Eighth Avenue Line) Information
The #7 crosstown IRT line terminates at Times Square; it is said that the bumper blocks of the #7 are directly against or very close to the eastern wall of the lower level of the 42nd St. IND station.
In 1998 and 1999 all but one remaining entrance to the lower level was sealed (the remaining one is under a lift-up trap door at the south end of the southbound platform).
Occasionally the existence of the lower level is mentioned as an excuse for why the IRT #7 cannot be extended westward; this new development now renders the lower level useless and it should not pose a problem to run the #7 extension directly through the lower level.

Competition was stiff and the BMT knew that it was the short man on the stick, an unfamiliar and uncomfortable spot for a vigorous railway that had survived the decline in rail popularity magnificently.
Its policy was not to purchase any new 9' wide equipment, not even for existing elevated lines -- these lines were to be converted to handle 10' cars, as had already occurred on the Fulton Street Line, but there was no way it could run 10' cars on the Flushing Line.
It was on this very trackage that they had suffered one of their few defeats and it was not their intention to take a back seat now.

Flushing Line Extensions: Two extensions of the Flushing Line were proposed, both starting from Main Street.
Local stops were considered along the new route, and indeed had these been built, perhaps the line would have become permanent, but as constructed, it was a non-stop ride to the Fair.
The World’s Fair Railroad did not run at all between seasons, and at the close of the Fair, the line was to be demolished.
