Talk:IRT Second Avenue Line

message: Since ridership on this line was consistently high, and the line's demolition has created overloading on the remaining 6th Avenue line since, it would be interesting to add a description of why the city took over and then closed this line in 1940. If anyone can find verifiable sources that describe this, adding it to this article would be greatly appreciated. Truthanado (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it would be interesting to know why the line was "failing".  I came to this article specifically to find out the answer to that question.  Alas, the article has no answer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.48.21 (talk) 03:19, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The article states as follows;
"The Second Avenue Elevated was closed north of 59th Street June 12, 1940."
So does that make 99th Street (IRT Second Avenue Line) the exception? ---------User:DanTD (talk)  13:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yikes. That is incorrect. It closed with the rest of the line north of 59th Street on that date. Thanks for the catch.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:04, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: You're welcome. And I also just corrected the closing date of the main article. I'm kind of sad that the date is wrong. I think it'd be kind of amusing if only that one station were left open north of the Queensboro Bridge branch. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  04:33, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

message: "Second Avenue Express - Bronx Park to City Hall weekday and Saturday AM peak southbound, City Hall to Fordham Road or Tremont Avenue weekday PM peak northbound, also Freeman Street to City Hall via West Farms Road Line, making express stops in Manhattan"
Is "Bronx Park" referring to 180th Street–Bronx Park or Bronx Park Terminal? Cards84664 15:20, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , I think it's the station on the Third Avenue Elevated. According to page 223 of this source, in 1937 Second Avenue expresses ran from Bronx Park/3rd Avenue to City Hall, southbound in the AM rush and northbound in the PM rush. I don't know if anything was changed between 1934 and 1937, though. Epicgenius (talk) 16:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

text: Ok, just wanted to be sure, since a bunch of articles point to the Second and Third ave els using 180th Street–Bronx Park until 1905, sounds like they weren't used interchangeably after that. Cards84664 16:57, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
