	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.

	The Real Deal - Aboveground rumblings as subway project starts rolling
		Construction of the $3.8 billion first phase of the subway line - which will run from 105th to 63rd streets and be completed in 2011 - is expected to begin sometime this year.
		The first phase of the new subway, which will extend the Q line northward, will immediately reduce crowding on the Lexington Avenue line by nearly half and make the walk to the subway less than 10 minutes on average for anyone east of Second Avenue.
		Consider the difference between a one-bedroom apartment in the East 70s between Lexington and Third avenues (renting around $3,400 a month) and the same-sized apartment between First and York Avenues (which rents for about $2,800 a month), an indication of the impact the subway line could have on property values.

		Brutal crowding on the Lexington Avenue line is a case in point.
		He said a Second Avenue subway would ease overcrowding on the Lexington Avenue line and "will provide major benefits to many areas that are vital to the future of New York City." The line would run from 125th Street to the financial district.
		This new subway line, which has already been far too long in coming, will provide increased capacity and better connectivity, both of which will benefit commuters, businesses, and ultimately, the entire City." "It's time to set transportation priorities, and the Second Avenue Subway must be our top priority," said Robert Yaro.

	TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES: Testimony: Second Avenue Subway Hearing
		Trains on the Lexington Avenue subway line now routinely run in excess of 100% capacity during rush hour, and the Lexington line has the lowest on-time rating of all New York City subway lines.
		MTA's truncated Second Avenue subway proposal from 125th Street to 63rd Street will not relieve the severe overcrowding on the Lexington Avenue line, will not provide subway service to the Lower East Side and East Village, and in general ignores the synergistic benefits of an integrated and far-reaching plan.
		The needed solution is a full-length Second Avenue subway from the Co-op City in the Bronx to Downtown Brooklyn, extending along the LIRR's Brooklyn branch to Jamaica and JFK Airport.

	MTA Budget Woes Dash Second Avenue Subway Dreams - April 6, 2005 - The New York Sun
		The proposed subway is a two-track line running 8.5 miles under the avenue, between 125th Street and Hanover Square.
		The Second Avenue Subway and a companion project, East Side Access, are the only two projects in the country that the Bush administration rated "highly recommended" for a federal Full Funding Grant Agreement.
		One of the subway line's staunchest supporters, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, said, "There's money sitting in the federal budget for both projects." Also, in consecutive years Congress has granted funds for the research and planning stages of the Second Avenue Subway, an indication of federal commitment, according to a Maloney aide, Philip Craft.

	UTU: News
		On Third Avenue and 60th Street, outside the station where the N, R and W lines meet the Lexington Avenue lines, hundreds of people spilled into the street in the morning, occupying two of the seven traffic lanes, waiting for northbound buses.
		The authority wants to build the first segment of a long-planned Second Avenue subway, replacing an elevated line that was demolished in the early 1940's and relieving pressure on the No. 6, a local line that is widely regarded as the most crowded in the system.
		It and the other Lexington lines date to 1904 and were built using the "cut and cover" method, meaning that they are very close to street level.

	Manhole Breach Wreaks Havoc on Lexington Avenue Subways - March 17, 2005 - The New York Sun
		The power failures that shut down the Lexington Avenue subway line twice yesterday - including at the start of the morning rush - may be linked to a 2-by-3 foot breach at the base of a manhole below Park Avenue South, transit officials said.
		New York City Transit restored full service on the Lexington Avenue line before the evening commute, but not before riders - who thought their troubles were behind them - faced another power outage, albeit considerably shorter and less disruptive.
		For transit work crews, it was the end of an eventful day that began when power to the signals along the Lexington line stopped flowing at 7:20 a.m.

		They are there because when the line was built Grand Avenue was (and is) so narrow the curve from Lexington Avenue into Grand Avenue could not be fitted over the street so an easement was obtained to permit the structure to be built over private property.
		While excavating for the line this huge stone was uncovered and after much discussion and a suggestion from a sidewalk superintendent, a hole was dug and the stone rolled over into it and buried.
		With the remaining trolley lines, the lines with the better equipment were kept in service and some were even repainted from the familiar ‘red and cream’ to the Board of Transportation ‘green and silver.’ Before long (1950) they were all gone.

	New Yorkers still begging for an additional subway line=TheHill.com= (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Construction on three tunnel segments was completed in the 1970s, but because of the aforementioned fiscal crisis, which ultimately led to a federal bailout, the city had to abandon the project.
		In 1942, the city tore down an elevated line on Second Avenue, and then in 1956 the Third Avenue “el” was scrapped with the intention of replacing it with a subway line.
		Although Pranger asserts that the subway line is desperately needed, she allows that it is hard to justify when the city’s economy is in such dire straits.

	Subway - Wired New York Forum
		For commuters north of Columbus Circle, piling onto the 1 and 9 trains, it was an unwelcome reminder of the subway fire at Chambers Street on January 23 that crippled the A and C lines for several weeks.
		Two minutes after the fire was extinguished, and before service was even restored, service on two other subway lines, the B and the C, was suspended, at 8:10 a.m., because of a police investigation at the Columbus Circle station in Manhattan, infuriating riders in another major business district.
		Last Wednesday, service on the three Lexington Avenue lines was shut down three times after water seeped through a hole in a concrete tunnel roof and drenched a set of electrical cables.

		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.

		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.

		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.
		The MTA dressed two units subway cars, one of R36 cars on the Flushing Line and another R142 unit on the Lexington Avenue line, to celebrate the Subway Series of 2000 where the Amazing Mets lost to the Yanks, 4 to 1.

		So, given that 250 foot long trains could maintain 90 second headways (40 tph), then the minimum headway that could be expected for 500 foot long trains is 96 seconds or 37 tph.
		Of course, this is academic because Moscow train lengths are slightly longer than the 510 feet of the Lexington Ave expresses.
