[edit] Parallel article

Hey, what the f*** happened to all of the info here on wikipedia, about the 7 train? All I see is the conductor section, but that's about it. What gives?

You mean the stuff on IRT Flushing Line? --SPUI (talk) 4 July 2005 12:48 (UTC)

anyone vote to merge the two articles? Dogru144 16:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the contents of IRT Flushing Line and 7 need to be rationalized. However, while the two separately exist, it is wrong to put the IRT Flushing Line into Category:New York City Subway services, and it is wrong to put 7 into Category:New York City Subway lines. Services and lines are different things.

There is one example in the Subway project where such a rationalization has been done. The article S - 42nd Street Shuttle (New York City Subway service) describes both the service and the line on which it operates.

It might make sense to do so here, and also for:

• BMT Canarsie Line and L
• BMT Franklin Avenue Line and S - Franklin Avenue Shuttle (New York City Subway service).

Given the broader nature of the issue, you might want to propose a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Subway. In the meantime, it is wrong to exacerbate the issue by putting various duplications into the two articles. Marc Shepherd 17:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Template

What cleanup is needed here? I don't see anything wrong with the spelling and grammer of the article. The Legendary Ranger 20:08, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Map request

It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality. Wikipedians in New York may be able to help!

[edit] Is the 7 switching to R142S cars?

I read on the R142S article that the 7 will convert to CBTC operation eventually. Does this mean that the 7 line will be using those modern cars soon (or at all)? If so, when? 69.117.20.134 03:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think you are right, but it's not confirmed. At this point, it shouldn't be mentioned. Asiansaxboy101 17:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture Change

I think there should be another head picture, instead of the one right now. The "redbirds," the type train in the picture, are no longer used, and have been replaced completely with the R62's. Asiansaxboy101 18:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
