somebody needs to clean up the wikilinks here, either removing them or redirecting them to pages that actually exist. I'm fairly certian that most of these topics do have pages, but just not at the names linked here. Squigish 01:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mediocre compared to Archer Avenue Line article
Why is this article harder to read than the Archer Avenue extension article? That one indicates when each station opened. The station openings are not indicated in this article. --neither are the years of opening of operations on the segments of the line.
This article is like a collection of stubs, in terms of revealed information. Dogru144 00:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- No one's gotten to it yet. I can fill in early history (prior to 1902) like I did on BMT Lexington Avenue Line, BMT Fulton Street Line, and BMT Fifth Avenue Line. --NE2 00:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
