The IRT Astoria Line shuttle service I was referring to, was the initial operation which began when the Astoria Line opened in February 1917.(1) IRT subway cars operated as a shuttle between Ditmars & Grand Central.(2)This service lasted about five & a half months. On 7/23/1917 the 2nd Ave. el's Queensboro Bridge connection was completed to Queensboro Plaza. Going forward from 1917 the initial services were 2nd Ave. trains to astoria; IRT subway to Corona. 2nd ave el & IRT subway services later served both lines.(year needed)(3) IRT Subway service from GC to Alburtis Ave. began April 1917.(1) BMT subway service reached Qnsboro. Plz. in August 1920. The BMT el car shuttles on both the Astoria and Flushing lines began in April 1923.(3) (1) IRT Co.
