Posted by Rail Blue on Wed Jan 17 20:40:27 2007, in response to Re: Eastern Parkway, posted by //ROOT on Wed Jan 17 20:05:43 2007. It's for Wikipedia (I hope this doesn't turn too many people off). Someone I'm collaborating with is demanding reliable sources for my claims. I can't really dismiss this because sources are important in Wikipedia policy.LMAO!!! That site's even more über-retarded than I thought then... The question isn't which trains use the tube, but what physical line the tracks belong to. I have every suspicion that the line names are informal. Does the Lex continue into Brooklyn to Borough Hall, or is it Eastern Parkway that begins at Bowling Green? I'd always been of the belief that Eastern Parkway began when Broadway–7 Av merged with Lex east of the two Borough Hall stations (as suggested by chaining designations), but Part 2, Section VII of the MTA's 2007 Final Proposed Budget says stuff like "LINE STRUCTURE REHABILITATION - Joralemon Tube to Nevins St: E Pkwy Line." Does this suggest that Eastern Parkway includes the tube, or that it begins where the tube ends (whatever that means)? It suggests it's not important. It's the IRT. It's in Brooklyn. Someone felt uneasy about calling the Lex the Lex, as it doesn't run under the Brooklyn version of Lexington Av, and they made up a descriptor that causes precisely no confusion. If you really want a source, the Eastern Parkway Line runs from the end of the Interborough Subway at Atlantic Av station to the junction of the Nostrand Av and Livonia Av Lines (Rogers Junction): link. |
