TrainFanatic Posted July 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2010 I think the line represents the NYC Subway. Why? runs on all 4 types of subway tracks (subway, open-cut, embankment and elevated) terminates at the well known and lively Coney Island runs through popular neighborhoods (Brighton Beach, Sheepshed Bay, Coney Island, Astoria etc) fast express service in Manhattan very scenic frequent service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted July 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2010 I'd have to say the . It's the second longest line in the TA and operates very frequently (four-six minutes; 14-15 TPH). Its elevated segment is higher than any other in the system (91 feet). It also allows a good view of the yard between Neptune Avenue and Avenue X.

Guest Charles Posted July 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2010 How could you not argue against the train? Duke Ellington made it famous worldwide... Can't beat the scenery in the Rockaways Longest subway line Nice express runs Covers a wide variety of neighborhoods And a whole lot of other reasons too.

ColumbiaDeath Posted July 2, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 2, 2010 Everyone here has had great suggestions with very good reasoning to back them up. I'm going to suggest an alternative, however. The train represents the True NYC Subway. Poorly maintained stations and equipment and poorly executed service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the is a great line but the has a little bit of everything. Ex; open cut, elevated, underground, etc. Just my opinion. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Line: Elevated: Grant Avenue - Lefferts Blvd. Underground: Everything in Manhattan and Brooklyn River Tube: Cranberry Street Embankment (I guess): Howard Beach - Broad Channel, IIRC Broad Channel - Far Rock Only thing it's missing is open cut. However, the also has the song, the longest one-seat ride, and the longest distance between stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted July 2, 2010 Share #11 Posted July 2, 2010 I'm going to disagree with all of you and say the train. - Runs all all 4 types of subway tracks (subway, open-cut, embankment, elevated) - Runs express in one of the boroughs (Not an all-local train) - Passes through Coney Island - Passes through interesting neighborhoods (Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Astoria (as a result of eliminating the ) - Basically, the with a twist.

East New York Posted July 2, 2010 Share #13 Posted July 2, 2010 I would say the train first, the (4)/(6) second, then the last. Why?? Because the A train is synonymous with NYC. Then the Lex and Main St lines are in lots of movies. And let's not forget J. Lo made the popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens Surface Posted July 2, 2010 Share #15 Posted July 2, 2010 The really does represent the NYC Subway...The Taking of Pelham 123 and the behind it for being the International Express and then the for being the longest route in the system.

Ridgewoodian Posted July 2, 2010 Share #18 Posted July 2, 2010 C'mon, where's the love for the , people? It's arguably NYC's newest line; it passes through a wide variety of neighborhoods - sleepy Middle Village, up and coming Ridgewood, cutting edge Bushwick, past hip Williamsburg, the Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, Midtown Manhattan, and the many wonderful semi-foreign lands along the QB; it begins and ends in Queens, which is the true beating heart of the City; it runs along the Avenue of the AMERICAS, yo; it's route is the strangest in the city; it offers wonderful views from the Willie B; it's been the incessant talk of foamers for months, if not years; and most importantly, it's my damn train. Not convinced? Then the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted July 3, 2010 Share #19 Posted July 3, 2010 I think the and lines are a great representation of the current NYC Subway system. Those lines are no longer running and the entire subway system could have that fate if the MTA budget gets a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two good and USEFUL lines that had to fall to the axe because of the MTA's screw-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
