We seem to be abusing the concept of templates here. Nelson Ricardo 11:51, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

The idea is that when the MTA changes services again, only a few templates need to be changed and everything will update across the board. --SPUI 18:14, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

A quibble about this bit:

On the Brooklyn side, the four tracks merge in a flying junction to create a four-track subway, which quickly merges with the two-track BMT Fourth Avenue Line

The quibble is referring to the section between DeKalb to and/or through the Montague tunnel as part of the 4th Av line. As I recall (perhaps wrongly)', historically the Montague tunnel serviced the Brighton Line before the 4th Av line was ever built. Unless there is a formal name for this stretch, I would avoid the problem and emend this to read ". . . which quickly merges with the two BMT tracks coming from the Montague Street tunnel". I'm the one who did the article on the 4th Av line. See my article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMT_Fourth_Avenue_Line --FourthAve 9 July 2005 04:02 (UTC)

The MTA includes the subway between DeKalb and the Montague Street Tunnel as part of the Fourth Avenue Line. User:SPUI/New York City Subway lines is a table I made of the MTA's designations, found on their funding plans. Lawrence Street is indicated as a station on 4AV. --SPUI (talk) 9 July 2005 10:49 (UTC)

the manhatttan bridge carries pedestrians! I thought the brooklyn bridge only does that?
