The line runs primarily alongFulton Street,Pitkin Avenue, andLiberty Avenue.The underground portion, which constitutes the majority of the line, was built for the city-owned Independent Subway System (IND), opening between 1936 and 1956. The elevated portion inQueenswas originally part of theBrooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation(BMT)'sFulton Street elevated line;the Elevated in Brooklyn was closed and demolished in stages with the opening of the subway line.

UnderFulton Street,the line is mainly single level, except atNostrand Avenue,where the express tracks are on the upper level and the local tracks are on the lower level.[3]During the subway line's construction in the late 1930s and early 1940s, the old, now-demolishedBMT Fulton Street Elevated(which the IND line replaced) had to be supported.

The stations along Liberty Avenue in Queens, from80th Street–Hudson StreetthroughOzone Park–Lefferts Boulevard,as well as the current three-track elevated structure, were built for the elevated Fulton Street Line in 1915 as part of theBMT's portion of theDual Contracts.This was the only section of the Fulton El that was built specifically to handle steel subway cars, as opposed to lighter wooden elevated cars.[4]

The current service pattern along the line is one of the newest in the New York City Subway system. Prior to December 1988, express service was only provided during rush hours, and before 1999, all trains ran local on weekends and weekday evenings after 9:00 pm. Since May 2, 1999, A trains run express along the line and C trains run local except during late nights, when A trains make all stops.

Route

edit

EnteringBrooklynvia theCranberry Street Tunnelas a two-track line, theIND Eighth Avenue Linetravels east on Cranberry Street, then south on Jay Street. It becomes the Fulton Street Line at an interlocking north ofJay Street–MetroTechwhile briefly running parallel with theIND Culver Line.It turns away from the Culver Line onto Schermerhorn Street to the six-trackHoyt–Schermerhorn Streetsstation, which it shares with theBrooklyn–Queens Crosstown Line.The local tracks are unused at Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets, but connect to the abandonedCourt Streetstation which is now the site of theNew York City Transit Museum.At this point, the line becomes a four-track system untilEuclid Avenue.[3]

The line continues east under Schermerhorn Street to the intersections of Third Avenue and Flatbush Avenue, across them onto Lafayette Avenue and then finally onto Fulton Street untilBroadway Junction.[3]

After Broadway Junction, the line leaves Fulton Street via Truxton Street, crosses Broadway, curves through a corner of theEast New York Yard,crossesJamaica Avenueand then south on Pennsylvania Avenue. It then turns east onto Pitkin Avenue until Euclid Avenue station. East of Euclid Avenue, there are track connections toPitkin Yard,and from either the express or local tracks to the two-track line towardsGrant Avenuestation. The four mainline trackways continue east on Pitkin Avenue, disused, and end at approximately Elderts Lane.[3][5]

Past Grant Avenue, the line joins the former Fulton Street elevated via a ramp as it entersQueens,swinging somewhat north until it is over Liberty Avenue.[3][6][7]Here, it becomes a three-track line, with the center track coming from Pitkin Yard. Just pastRockaway Boulevard,theIND Rockaway Linebranches southward while the Fulton Street Line continues over Liberty Avenue to its terminus atLefferts Boulevard.[3][6][8]

History

edit

Early history

edit

TheFulton Streetsubway was the city-owned Independent System (IND)'s main line fromDowntown Brooklynto southern Queens.[9]Along with theIND Eighth Avenue Line,it was also alternately known as theWashington Heights−East New York Line.[10]The subway was built to replace the elevatedFulton Street Elevated,which ran above Fulton Street from Boerum Place to Van Sinderen Avenue, south along Van Sinderen Avenue to Pitkin Avenue, down Pitkin Avenue to Euclid Avenue, and up Euclid Avenue, where it turned east on Liberty Avenue. As in Manhattan, the older elevated tracks were seen as depressing real estate values. The subway was designed to follow the elevated line as close as possible. It was routed along Schermerhorn Street due to the presence of the IRT subway already below Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn and along Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York so that wider curves could be built, allowing faster speeds. The local tracks were always designed to terminate in downtown Brooklyn as local elevated trains would terminate at theSands Street station.The groundbreaking for the line was held on April 16, 1929, at Fulton Street and Arlington Place, near the futureNostrand Avenuestation.[11]The line was opened from Jay Street toRockaway Avenueon April 9, 1936, including the stub terminal atCourt Street.[12][13]

To allow the subway line to be built, the following streets were widened from 60 to 80 feet (18 to 24 m): Jay Street between Nassau Street to Fulton Street, Smith Street between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue, and Schermerhorn Street between Smith Street and Nevins Street. The land acquired to widen the streets was valued at $1.75 million.[14]

Late 1930s and 1940s

edit

Further construction was delayed by funding problems due to theGreat Depressionin the 1930s.[5]This was temporarily solved by federalWorks Progress Administrationfunding starting in 1936. The portion continuing from east of Rockaway Avenue along Pennsylvania and Pitkin Avenues to Crystal Street began construction in 1938.[10][15]The next portion east from Crystal Street to around Grant Avenue, including theEuclid Avenueterminal and thePitkin Yard,began construction in 1940.[15][16]The progress lasted only a few years, as all work on the last portions in Brooklyn was stopped by December 1942 shortly after the United States enteredWorld War II,withBroadway−East New Yorkcomplete but not in operation due to lack of signal equipment, and the remaining stations to Euclid Avenue as unfinished shells.[5][10][15][17][18]

The Court Street station was closed on June 1, 1946, due to low ridership and because of its close proximity to theHoyt–Schermerhorn Streetsstation.[17][19]After World War II ended, workers and materials became available for public use again. The badly needed extension to the more efficient terminal at Broadway−East New York(the currentBroadway Junctionstation) opened on December 30, 1946.[5][20]

The extension of the Fulton Street Line, the completion of which had been delayed due to war priorities, was finished by funds obtained by MayorWilliam O'Dwyerand was placed in operation on November 28, 1948, running along Pennsylvania Avenue and Pitkin Avenue toEuclid Avenuenear the Queens border. Forty additionalR10cars were placed into service for the extension. The cost of the extension was about $46.5 million. It included the construction of the newPitkin Avenue Storage Yard,which could accommodate 585 subway cars on 40 storage tracks.[4][5][10][20][21]Because these stations were completed later than the rest of the line, they received different design features than other IND stations, including different wall tiles andfluorescent lighting.[5][10][22]

The Fulton Street express tracks were not used in regular service until October 24, 1949. A trains began running express during rush hours toBroadway–East New York,withEtrains extended to provide local service.[23]The express reduced travel time by five minutes.[24]

1950s to 1990s

edit

In 1953, the platforms were lengthened atRalph AvenueandBroadway–East New Yorkto 660 feet (200 m) to allow E trains to run eleven car trains. TheEbegan running eleven car trains during rush hours on September 8, 1953. The extra train car increased the total carrying capacity by 4,000 passengers. The lengthening project cost $400,000.[25][26][27]

In late 1952, theBoard of Transportationbegan construction on a connection between the IND and both the Fulton El and theRockaway Beach Branchof theLong Island Rail Road,which included a new underground station atGrant Avenue.[28][29][30][31]The connection from the 80th Street elevated station to the rest of the BMT Fulton Elevated was severed on April 26, 1956, and the IND was extended east (track direction south) fromEuclid Avenuevia the intermediate station at Grant Avenue, and a connecting ramp (known as the Grant Avenue ramp).[4][6][32]The new service to Lefferts Boulevard began three days later.[4][6][8][33]On June 28, 1956, the connection to theIND Rockaway Lineeast ofRockaway Boulevardwas opened.[4][8][34][35][36][37]

2000s to present

edit

The 2015–2019Metropolitan Transportation Authority(MTA) Capital Plan called for the Fulton Street Line'sClinton–Washington Avenues,Kingston–Throop Avenues,andVan Siclen Avenuestations, along with 30 others, to undergo a complete overhaul as part of theEnhanced Station Initiative.Updates would include cellular service, Wi-Fi, USB charging stations, interactive service advisories and maps, improved signage, and improved station lighting.[38][39]However, in April 2018, it was announced that cost overruns had forced the MTA to reduce the number of subway stations included in the program from 33 stations to 20. The stations to be renovated along the IND Fulton Street Line were among the 13 stations without funding, which will be pushed back to the 2020–2024 Capital Plan.[40]

As part of a program to upgrade thesignaling of the New York City Subway,the MTA's 2020–2024 Capital Program calls for addingcommunications-based train control(CBTC) to several more lines, including the IND Fulton Street Line west of theEuclid Avenue station.[41][42]The CBTC signaling system would replace the line's existing signal system, which has not been upgraded since the line originally opened in the 1930s and 1940s.[43]On November 9, 2022, the MTA put out the request for proposals for the design-build contract to install CBTC on the Fulton Street Line between High Street and Euclid Avenue.[44]CBTC installation on the rest of the Fulton Street Line from Euclid Avenue toOzone Park–Lefferts Boulevardwas proposed as part of the MTA's 2025–2029 Capital Program.[45][46]

Second System planned route

edit

Early in the planning of the subway, the city considered recapturing parts of theBMT Jamaica Line,[47]which had been built under the Dual Contracts. This would have created two branches of the Fulton Street Subway east of Broadway Junction. Bellmouths were built into the outer walls of the subway tunnel just east of the Broadway Junction station for a future connection.[3]

The extension of the IND Fulton Street Line would have included a station atCross Bay BoulevardinOzone Park.

The IND Fulton Street Line was supposed to be extended farther east into Queens as part of theIND Second System,via an extension of the Fulton Elevated or a new subway. The line would have gone as far asSpringfield BoulevardinQueens Villageor 229th Street inCambria Heights,both near theNassau Countyborder. The line would have also had a spur to theRockaways.[5][9][48][49][50]

The 1929 Second System plan suggested recapturing and extending the Fulton elevated along Liberty, Brinkerhoff and Hollis Avenues to Springfield Boulevard, nearHempstead Turnpike,Belmont Park,and theQueens Village LIRR Station.[5][9][49]The 1939 plan, meanwhile, proposed extending the subway along Pitkin Avenue toCross Bay Boulevardin South Ozone Park, then alongLinden Boulevardto Cambria Heights near theCross Island Parkway.A spur would have branched off east of Cross Bay Boulevard, turning south to join with the formerRockaway Beach Branchof theLong Island Rail Road(now theIND Rockaway Line).[5][48][50]This extended Fulton Street Line would have also facilitated service from the plannedSecond Avenue Subwayvia a river tunnel from Lower Manhattan to the then-terminal station atCourt Street.[48][50][51]

In a 1940 plan, which was revised in 1945, the IND Fulton Street Line would connect to the IND Rockaway Line in a similar manner to the 1939 plan, via an extension of the subway under Pitkin Avenue. The line, east of Euclid Avenue, would be 4 tracks, with local stations at76th Streetand 84th Street, and an express station atCross Bay Boulevard.At Cross Bay Boulevard, aflying junctionwould let the local tracks cross over to the inside and the express tracks cross over to the outside. The layout would be similar to that of Manhattan's168th Streetstation. East of Cross Bay Boulevard, another flying junction would bring a two-track branch over the line to a pair of portals north ofAqueduct–North Conduit Avenuestation. Meanwhile, the Fulton Street Line's four tracks would merge into two tracks, and end at 105th Street (today'sAqueduct Racetrack), where ascissors crossoverwould be present just west of the station. Crossovers would also be located between the local and express pair of tracks east of 76th Street, and between the two express tracks east of Cross Bay Boulevard.[52]

Currently the line ends at Lefferts Boulevard inOzone Park(the former end of the Fulton El), and only the Rockaway extension was completed.[6][8]The mainline tracks that go past theEuclid Avenuestation were to be part of a 4-track line to Cambria Heights.[5]
