It all depends on the branch that you are running on. A train need not be all express or all local for its entire route.ALL trains on 6th Avenue are Express, some just make more stops than others. If you look at a 1960s map 14th and 23rd are listed as EXPRESS stops. What controls now is the northern terminus. Trains to the Bronx run on what you might call the express tracks, trains to Queens run on what you might call the local tracks. It does not matter if the trtain is local or express elsewhere. As far as the South Brooklyn routes go, the FULL time train makes ALL STOPS while the part-time service makes express stops. The (E) is express in Queens and USED TO BE EXPRESS on 8th Avenue but is done differently now in order to get into the Hudson Terminal. If the (C) would go into the Hudson Terminal then the (E) could run on the Express. IND theory suggests that all trains make all stops in the CBD, but then their theory never worked very well anyway.
