Specifically, that IND extension officially opened at 1:00 PM 87 years ago today. I'm willing to bet they were already running trains all the way out to 169th St. without passengers well before that extension opened. |

I'm also sure there was no official "first train," either. They probably opened the gates at 1 o'clock and whichever train arrived first at any given station began carrying passengers. |
