9/11 reference?[edit]

The history section - aside from needing a general rewrite -- doesn't make any mention of the effects of 9/11 on this line, despite the fact that the article Closings and cancellations following the September 11, 2001 attacks singles it out and links to it. 23skidoo 23:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's in 1 (New York City Subway service), probably a better home for it. I do realize that this creates an inconsistency with the 9/11 article referenced above. Marc Shepherd 02:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few comments on the latest changes[edit]

The infobox has potential. However, I took the line map out of the infobox, and put it in the main text, because the route template doesn't display correctly when it's embedded inside another table.

Unfortunately, the article is now lacking sections for history and description. If those were present, they would run alongside the line map. Instead, there's a big white-space gap. That gap needs to be there, or else the line map "cramps" the station listing.

I removed the statement that 5 trains sometimes run on the BW-7 line to relieve congestion. That statement has been in the article a long time, often with {{fact}} tags. No verification is available, so it was time for it to go. Marc Shepherd 18:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those edits seem legit. The reason I put the map in the infobox is because I saw it in the article about the PATH. However, one can still collapse the map if they don't want to see it, but something needs to be put into the history section.
I remember from last year about the whole 2/5 East/West Side swaps argument. I was thinking about using a photo, since a picture is worth more than a thousand words, but reliability comes into account. It seems secondary, but something in writing would generally be preferred. As of yet, I haven't found anything in such form. —Imdanumber1 (talk contribs  email) 21:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1902 explosion[edit]

Curious 1982 station image[edit]

I just found this picture from Lower Manhattan in 1982(http://oldnewyork.tumblr.com/post/67743668210/retronewyork-new-york-city-subway-station), which is clearly along the Broadway-7th Avenue Line. It has the old pre-Helvetica signage and for some reason also boasts a connection to the IRT White Plains Road Line and "Bronx Park," probably Bronx Park East (IRT White Plains Road Line) if anything. Does anybody have a clue where this picture was taken? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 20:36, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@DanTD: I know this is old but apparently this is the 18th Street station.[1] Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:59, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
