IRT Eastern Parkway Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eastern Parkway Line, the elevated section sometimes called the New Lots Line, is a line of the New York City Subway in Brooklyn. The IRT 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 Yard. There are plans to renovate the elevated part, including new mezzanines and stairs.

[edit] Stations

The Eastern Parkway Line comes together under Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn, at the merge of the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line and the IRT Lexington Avenue Line.


After Franklin Avenue, in the vicinity of Rogers Avenue, two tracks split to the IRT Nostrand Avenue Line.
