Service history
Before February 23, 2004, the W operated as the Brooklyn half of the B during Phase II of the Manhattan Bridge Reconstruction, operating between Ditmars Boulevard, Astoria and Coney Island, in Brooklyn. Now that the construction is completed, the W becomes a part-time local service along the BMT Broadway Line.
