  Britain.tv Wikipedia - New York City Subway
The city was closely involved; every line built for the IRT, and most other lines built or improved for the BRT after 1913, was built by the city and leased to the companies (via the original Contracts 1 and 2 for the IRT subway, and the Dual Contracts for later extensions and widenings).
This is because the IRT chose to use equipment substantially the same size as that already in use on all the pre-existing elevated railway lines in the city.
As a result, while most of the IRT lines could accommodate the larger BMT/IND equipment with modifications to the station platforms and trackside furniture, this is not deemed feasible, because the original, narrower, subway includes portions of both IRT Manhattan mainlines, as well as a critical part of the Brooklyn lines.

The IRT Pelham Line would be switched to the combined IND/BMT division (this plan also includes other connections, which have been built), and connected to the Second Avenue 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.
The MTA's final environmental impact statement was approved in April 2004; the latest proposal is for a two-track line from 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in Harlem, down Second Avenue to Hanover Square in the Financial District.

 IRT Lenox Avenue/White Plains Road/Dyre Avenue Line
The Lenox Avenue subway, branching off the Contract I Broadway main line north of 96th Street, and the elevated structure to 180th Street were also Contract I construction, intended to bring the First Subway into the Bronx.
The 3rd Avenue connection was completed before the Contract I tunnel work and as such, 3rd Avenue trains began using the el structure to Bronx Park prior to the opening of the Interborough Subway.
After the Dual Contracts extension of the line to 240th Street, the Bronx Park terminal was rendered mostly redundant and finally abandoned in 1952; the West Farms yard was torn down at this time as well due to new yard facilities at East 180th St./Unionport, and 239th Street.

 City Hall (IRT Lexington Avenue Line) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City Hall is the original southern terminal of the first line of the New York City Subway, built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), named the "Manhattan Main Line", and now part of the IRT Lexington Avenue Line.
The station is unusually elegant in architectural style, and is unique among the original IRT stations.
The set borrowed many elements from the City Hall IRT station, however it also incorporated many elements of artistic licence, extra lighting and metal beams were added; in addition, the distinctive curve to the real station platform was removed from the fictional station set.

 IRT Lexington Avenue Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lexington Avenue Line (sometimes called the Lex, the 4-5-6 or the IRT East Side Line) is one of the major IRT lines in the New York City Subway.
Being the only line in Manhattan to directly serve the Upper East Side and East Midtown, the four-track IRT Lexington Avenue Line is the most crowded in the country.
Under Lexington Avenue, the line assumes a two-over-two track configuration, with the local tracks running on the upper level and the express on the lower, although it briefly returns to a four-across layout between 96th Street and 116th Street stations.

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.
Additionally, the A, which had formerly used the express tracks on the Eighth Avenue Line south of 168th Street (the C\'s northern terminus), 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 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.

When the first of the IND lines, the 8th Avenue subway, opened on September 10th, 1932, the future was bleak for the 9th Avenue El.
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.

On the Flushing Line, a single center track is used for express service; while bullets on the roll sign ID are used to denote local service and diamonds express, they can't be relied on, since express service is one-way depending on the time of day, and the same units go back and forth.

This extension of PATH service would permit transfer to the Lexington Avenue #4 and #5 express lines at City Hall station, 14th Street, 42nd Street, 59th Street, 86th Street and 125th Street in Manhattan.
Currently the line is inoperative; even when restored to service on a temporary basis by December 2003, ridership is expected to be a fraction of its former volume.
This is based on our analysis of the construction of a permanent connection between the downtown PATH line and the Lexington Avenue subway in conjunction with the rebuilding efforts at the former World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan.
