IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line

(Redirected from Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line)


Services that use the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line through midtown and downtown have been colored red since 1979. The original IRT numbering system provided for 1, 2 and 3 on the line.

The Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line, also known as the IRT West Side Line, is one of the lines of the IRT division of the New York City Subway. It runs along the west side of Manhattan and into the Bronx; the part north of 42nd Street was built as part of the first subway in New York. The line serves places such as Lincoln Center, Columbia University, and City College. The line is often referred to as the 1 'n' 9 due to the 1 and 9 services that operated over the whole line. The 9 designation along with skip-stop service last ran May 27, 2005; this skip-stop service was only in upper Manhattan during rush hours.
