Posted by Larry,RedbirdR33 on Mon Sep 12 11:11:11 2011, in response to Re: Question - Dyre Avenue Line, posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Sep 12 09:38:03 2011. It did not become officially an IRT line till 1957There may be some questions to when and to whom it was an IND line. The route information on the BOT's 1948 map shows Dyre Ave as being part of the IRT. I believe that the 1957 date refers to the start of thru-operation during the daytime hours, from about 6AM to 8 PM. Shuttle service continued to run at other time. 1957 may also have been the date when shuttle trains ceased to use the old NYW & B station and switched over to the East 180 Street Station. I believe that the monies for the takeover and upgrading of the line came from appropriations that were never used for the proposed extension of the Grand Concourse Line across Gun Hill Road.
