		On the other hand, the IRT Standard design, of which the Lo-V's are representative, amounted to a fleet of over 2000 cars, and were always a rail fan draw, so saving them was a more immediate problem.
		The Q cars' high-performance Peckham trucks, too heavy for the IRT elevated, were replaced by the trudging Composite trucks, reducing the speedsters to a cranky crawl.
		As a final insult, when the Qs were transferred to the Myrtle Avenue "L" in 1958 to replace the last gate equipment, the stained glass window-vents were removed and the clerestory lowered, stealing still more from the old charm.

	NYCT A Division
		The A division is the IRT lines (numbered lines) and are 1 foot narrower and 9-24 feet shorter than their B division counterparts and have only three sets of doors per side rather than four sets per side.
		Except for portions “inherited” from old elevated lines, the IRT is the oldest of the three subway divisions and most of those have been demolished or heavily rehabilitated.
		The rest of the IRT (as well as much of the BMT) is part of what is known as the "Dual Contracts" lines, and most of the Dual Contract lines are built to BMT specs.

	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.

	IRT Third Avenue Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Third Avenue Line, or Third Avenue El, was an elevated railway in Manhattan and the Bronx, New York City.
		The IND Sixth Avenue Line and the IND Eighth Avenue Line did indeed render the Sixth and Ninth Avenue Els obsolete.
		The Second Avenue El was also gradually demolished from 1940 to 1942, leaving only the Third Avenue El, which was intended to stay in use until and the Second Avenue Subway was built to replace it.

	Second Avenue El by Alexander Nobler Cohen - Page 7
		Although the editorial agreed that thousands of riders would lose their transportation line and be "dispossessed," it still found the economic incentives for demolishing the el to be motivating indeed.
		At the expense of the city or not, the Second Avenue el did benefit particular local communities within the city, but in fact the community that most benefited from the el was not Second Avenue.
		The Third Avenue line was overcrowded -- one rider complained in a letter to the editor of the New York Times of the "disgraceful, indecent and unhealthy overcrowding" on the Third Avenue el – but it did provide transportation along a route similar to that of the Second Avenue el.

		The long-awaited Second Avenue subway is expected to clear another important milestone tomorrow, when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's board approves the issuance of a request for proposals for building the project's first segment, from 96th Street to 63rd Street.
		The first phase of the Second Avenue line would include new stations at 96th, 86th and 72nd Streets, and a connector to the 63rd Street station on the F line.
		The line will also offer connections to the Lexington Avenue line at 125th Street and 42nd Street/Grand Central Station, the L at 14th Street and the B and D at Grand Street.

		While on the West Side there are two and sometimes more lines, on the East Side, the Lexington Avenue line has borne the burden alone since the Third Avenue El came down in the mid-fifties.
		One line would curve west, to the F-train station at 63rd and Lexington, where it would join an already built tunnel linking to the Broadway N and R lines.
		Silver has been widely hailed as a Second Avenue subway hero since 1999, the last time the MTA passed a five-year capital plan, when he threatened to block a host of big state projects unless funds for the line were included.

	IRT Dyre Avenue Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dyre Avenue Line is a rapid transit line of the New York City Subway, as part of the IRT division.

		I've checked maps and seen the area from the air; there is a residential neighborhood along Lincoln, Coates, and Grundy Avenues to the southeast of ISP, so there are plenty of structures and large trees between the radar and the area covered by FIRO's analysis.
		Moreover, much of this area is slightly higher than the airport; topographical maps indicate that there is a rise east of Grundy Avenue (approximately 1.3 nm SE of the center of ISP) that is 10-15 feet higher than the airport elevation.
		The main conclusions of the preliminary report were: o During the line up for take-off, the left main tyre was destroyed between V 1 and V r, probably after running over a metal part.

	IRT West Side Line
		The IRT line on the West Side of Manhattan comprises portions of several different subway construction contracts, including the 1904 Contract I "First Subway" from north of Times Square and several extensions to it, and sixteen 1915-1918 Contract III, or "Dual Contracts" stations.
		Some last minute design changes added the third track northbound, and a provision for a third track was also built into the lower level Lenox branch of the junction.
		The disconnection of the 42nd Street tracks from the main line, and the connection of the new 7th Avenue subway was done on the evening of August 1, 1918 (a Thursday).

	1 Lexington Avenue
		These cooperatives were planned with sizable apartments to attract an affluent and artistic group of people who were interested in living in well-designed apartment houses in a cultured and respectable neighborhood, albeit one located at some distance from the cityÕs most elite residences on the Upper East Side.
		1 Lexington Avenue was a series of cooperatives erected early in the 20th century that were known as "club" buildings.
		Club or cooperative buildings were seen as being advantageous because they provided residents with the amenities of a private home without the problems attendant on owning an individual residence.

		Though Unification in 1940 added the big systems of the BMT and IRT to the municipally owned NYC subway system, not all the rapid transit operators in New York City came under the City umbrella.
		Not included in the expanded system was New York's "forgotten" borough and the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway Company and its 22 route miles of electric lines, which stayed with its parent Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for another 31 years.
		Mention of rapid transit on New York's Second Avenue usally leads to a discussion of the unbuilt Second Avenue Subway.

		The fireball they were set to deliver was rigged to flare at the same instant that a ratchet cable, which was hooked to a snatch harness hidden under Owen's costume, jerked him off his knees and tossed him thirty feet away, into the Gulf.
		The equipment was hidden in plain sight-the ratchet line was threaded through a standard hoist, the sort you'd hang your prize-winning tuna from; if any wires did show up in the shot, they would be digitally erased in post-production.
		If a scene called for a line of twenty men to hang off the end of a wagon and be dragged through the streets as the driver weaved around telephone poles, all they did was spread a little sand on the ground and go.

	Letter from New York The New York Subway
		Construction work began on a third, publicly-owned, subway in 1925, and in 1932 the Eighth Avenue Line, the IND, was finished - while the Sixth Avenue line, the last major piece of the IND system, opened in 1940.
		By 1940 New York City had taken over the IRT and BMT and become owner-operator of all the subway and elevated lines.
		However, after decades of inadequate maintenance and a failure to replace outmoded equipment (mass transit was severely underfunded by the federal government while large sums of money went to highways) coupled with the city’s mid-70s horrific financial crisis, the subway system turned into a veritable purgatory.

		In 1940 all three lines - IRT, BMT, and IND - came under single, public control of the city, but the lines are still known to New Yorkers as the IRT, BMT, and IND (or Independent).
