[edit] Article title

This is why I renamed this article to "Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer (New York City Subway)": the "Archer Avenue Line" is not one line shared by two divisions (whatever that means). There are two completely distinct and separate lines running under Archer Avenue, which use different radio frequencies for communication, have different chaining designations, and have no physical connections. In fact, the lower level could be considered part of the BMT Jamaica Line, while the upper level could be seen as part of the IND Queens Boulevard Line. We consider them separately (oops) together for historical reasons (i.e., they were built at the same time), but the two levels are not one line. In fact, the article Archer Avenue Line is highly misleading. Larry V (talk | e-mail) 21:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
