the desegnation (Q)was once used on the IND 6th avenue line.
Does anyone have any information on this?
- During the period of Manhattan Bridge south side closures, Brighton Q trains ("orange Q") operated on 6th Avenue. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 06:19, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
so the Q ran on BMT Broadway before the Manhattan Bridge reconstruction?
- A few useful links:
- It looks like whenever the Manhattan Bridge south tracks were closed, the Q used Sixth Avenue and 63rd Street. There was not a time that the IND 63rd Street Line was finished, but the south tracks were closed - thus the Q never went beyond Queensbridge-21st Street.
- And yes, whenever the south tracks were open, including before the reconstruction and currently, the Q used Broadway. I'm not completely sure about this, but I believe the only services using the Chrystie Street Connection to the Manhattan Bridge, when the full bridge was open, have been original IND services (letters A to F). Basically the A-C-E used Eighth Avenue midtown and the B-D-F Sixth Avenue. However, as the BMT letters were originally assigned by Brooklyn line, there may have been a supplemental service to those. However, post-Chrystie, the IND letters became affixed to the Brooklyn lines - the B on the West End and the D on the Brighton, and any more through the connection would probably overload it. In fact the T (the old West End number) was completely eliminated in 1968, though I think the Q was always only on Brighton. Some of this may be wrong; do your own research as well if it's important. --SPUI (talk) 02:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of Train
The train picture looks photoshopped to add the Q to it.

[edit] Service changes in September?
An anonymous AOL contributor has been adding information on a service change to the Q that will supposedly cause it to run local in September. I have been unable to find any evidence that this is the case, including scouring all of the recent MTA announcements and their "service changes" section, as well as doing a news search. I invite the contributor who wishes for this information to stay to show that it is true using reliable sources. Thanks. Captainktainer * Talk 20:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- This has been going on for quite a while now. Someone keeps modifying NYC subway articles. The changes are reverted, and a few days later he puts them back again. The offender can clearly see that people are asking him for evidence, and none is ever offered. Marc Shepherd 22:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
I know. If there are such changes, the MTA would say so. I have contacted himm to refrain from making unverifible contributions. --imdanumber1 22:47, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

- According to this SubChat thread, it's just random nonsense. Just ignore him and revert on sight. Pacific Coast Highway (blah • Snakes on a Plane) 22:48, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
