IRT Eastern Parkway Line
From Free net encyclopedia
The Eastern Parkway Line, sometimes called the New Lots Line, is a line of the New York Subway in Brooklyn. The Nostrand Avenue Line splits from it.
The elevated part includes an unused trackway in the middle for a third track. On the roof of the mezzanines at each station are cross ties but no rails. In some areas the space is used for mechanical and signal rooms. A track only exists in the middle at Junius Street, where it crosses the southbound track at grade towards the Linden Shops. There are plans to renovate the elevated part, including new mezzanines and stairs.
Stations
The Eastern Parkway Line comes together under Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn, at the Hoyt Street-Fulton Mall station. Before this, however, we have these three additional Brooklyn IRT stations to deal with:
On the West Side IRT:
- Clark Street station
- West Side IRT (Broadway-7th Avenue) Borough Hall station
For the East Side IRT:
- East Side IRT (Lexington Avenue) Borough Hall station.
- Hoyt Street-Fulton Mall
- Nevins Street
- Bergen Street
- Atlantic Avenue
- Grand Army Plaza
- Eastern Parkway-Booklyn Museum
- Franklin Avenue
After Franklin Avenue, in the vicinity of Rogers Avenue, the line loses two tracks to the Nostrand Avenue Line.
