		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.

		While the first underground line of the subway opened in 1904, the first elevated line (the IRT Ninth Avenue Line) had opened almost 35 years earlier.
		The oldest structure that is still in use (albeit reinforced) opened in 1885 as part of the Lexington Avenue Line, and is now part of the BMT Jamaica Line in Brooklyn.
		As a general rule, trains on the lines inherited from the IRT (the numbered lines) are shorter than the trains that operate on the other (IND/BMT) lines (those designated with letters).

	ninth
		The oldest elevated line came to be known as the Ninth Avenue El, which began in 1867 and survived, in part, until 1958.
		A short stretch of the Ninth, between 155th Street in Harlem and the IRT elevated over River Avenue in the Bronx, was allowed to remain as a shuttle until 1958 because of its convenience for baseball fans en route to the old Polo Grounds at 8th and 155th.
		What's interesting about the old Ninth Avenue el, and what set it apart from all other elevated lines in New York City, was that for about a four-block stretch in the High Bridge section of the Bronx, the elevated actually traveled through a tunnel, making it a de facto subway...

		The IRT Ninth Avenue Line, often called the Ninth Avenue Elevated, was the first elevated railway in New York City, first opened in 1868 as the West Side and Yonkers Patent Railway, a cable-hauled line.

		The line used multiple one-mile-long cable loops, driven by steam engines in cellars of buildings adjacent to the track.

	The 9th Avenue Elevated (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		From 1868 through 1870, the line ran on a single track and was extended to 30th Street. The name changed to the West Side and Yonkers Patent Elevated Railway Company, the last station being at 29th Street. Almost immediately there were mechanical problems, not to mention financial and legal difficulties.
		In upper Manhattan, the line had to accommodate the changing landscape; the 9th Ave El was over 100 feet above the street at "Suicide Curve", the portion of the El that made a 90-degree turn from 9th Ave onto 110th St. and another from 110th St. onto 8th Avenue.
		The line opened as far north as 155th St. in 1879, and was extended to meet the Jerome Ave.

	The Impact of the IRT on New York City (Hood)
		The IRT was one of several transit improvements that contributed to the northward movement of the commercial districts that were already encroaching on residences in midtown Manhattan.
		The greatest impact of the IRT was on the undeveloped territories in the Bronx and northern Manhattan.
		During the decade that followed the opening of the IRT and that witnessed the construction of tenements throughout the new areas, the reformers went from promoting new subways to seeking means of limiting their impact.

	Second Avenue El by Alexander Nobler Cohen - Page 6
		Rather than purchase the els as part of the Unification deal, it actually was cheaper for the city to condemn the structures while they were still private property, and issue assessment bonds to the owners as compensation.
		That means that the Third and Ninth Avenue els carried the remaining 139,484,000 passengers in 1939.
		Only the BMT showed a small profit, but like the IRT, its share of service on the rapid transit debt had to be covered by the City, again as a result of the fixed five-cent fare.

	155th Street (IRT Ninth Avenue Line) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 9th Avenue El originally terminated at 155th Street at its inception as a matter of geographic necessity (the hills of Washington Heights would have made expansion northward troublesome) and political boundaries (at its opening, The Bronx was part of Westchester County.
		The line expanded into The Bronx on June 1, 1918 when a bridge was built across the Harlem River which allowed the 9th Avenue El to bridge into The Bronx and join with the IRT Jerome Avenue Line while adding intermediate stops at Sedgwick Avenue and Anderson Avenue.
		On June 12, 1940, the 9th Avenue El in its full form was closed with the portion from 155th Street northward retained to provide a connection from the Jerome Avenue Line to the Polo Grounds.

		The Ninth Avenue Elevated eventually was triple-tracked and extended to 155th Street, near the Polo Grounds.
		The seven-year gap between opening of the the cross-town line and the main line on Third Avenue and the Bowery was caused by legal problems and the difficulty of building the second-longest American cable car line, almost eight miles.
		The rest of the Columbus Avenue line was converted by 11-May-1901, and the Lexington Avenue line by 19-Jun-1901.

	Sixth Avenue History - Kidsnyc
		Currently the Jefferson Market Library at 425 6th Avenue, this ornate gabled, turreted Victorian Gothic structure with a circular stair tower was rebuilt in 1873–1877, for the Third Judicial District Courthouse.
		Mayor LaGuardia in 1945, tried to rename Sixth Avenue "Avenue of the Americas", adding round shields of the Pan-American states in 1947 and medallion lampposts in the late 1950's.
		Hindering the El's progress were: the streetcar companies who knew how to lobby Albany; building owners that had property near the lines who feared the noise, smoke, cinders and the loss of light and air; and the economic depressions from the financial panic of 1873 and after Black Friday, September 1869.

		First conceived in 1929, the Second Avenue line was supposed to take up the passenger load of the Second and Third Avenue elevated trains when they were demolished in the 1940s and ‘50s.
		The number of riders on the Lexington Avenue IRT, meanwhile, has soared to unmanageable levels, with 30 percent of all subway riders now riding the 4, 5, or 6 line every day.
		Enough MTA bonds and federal funds have been pieced together to break ground on the first section of the Second Avenue line, a spur running north from 63rd Street to 96th Street that would allow Q trains to bring Upper East Siders to and from Lower Manhattan.

		The dispairty is largely semantic, however, since the area from West 100th to 97th Street is comprised of superblocks occupied by public housing projects, and is thus exists in more of a "buffer zone" than being smoothly integrated into the neighborhoods to the north or south.
		These were located primarily to take advantage of the ample area needed by institutions of substance, and together with the Lion Brewery, gave the area its earliest landmarks.
		The neighborhood only began to fill out residentially, however, at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, when first the IRT Ninth Avenue Line in 1870 and then the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line in 1904 allowed the public ready access to uptown Manhattan.

		For example: "Take the A to the 1" would mean to "Take the A train and transfer to the 1 train." The lines are not referred to by color (e.g., Blue line or Green line), although the colors are often named through their groups ("Take the A-C-E" or "4-5-6", etc).
		One of the characters takes a fancy to "Miss Turnstiles," a "typical rider" whose picture appears in many different poses on advertising placards.
		In the 1990 drama Ghost, Patrick Swayze encounters Vincent Schiavelli, a "subway ghost" who has haunted several trains in the system since being pushed onto the tracks while alive.
