List of Subway lines by length

Y2Julio · February 24, 2011

I know the A is the longest but I was wondering about the others. Is there a list that gives the length of miles for each line?

There was a thread about this.But I forgot when.But its the (A) then the (F) and after that idk.(maybe the (2) .

I'll take my trusty subway map and measure the length of each line with a ruler. That'd work, right?

I highly doubt the subway map is trustworthy given its scale.

(*Looks at Manhattan*)

Take a look at Staten Island, and it is floating on it's own box away from the other boroughs.

A is the longest, followed by the F, followed by the 2. I don't have the rest at hand.

The (4) serves 54 stations through the city. That seems to be the third highest in terms of stops. In terms of distance it may be in the top five.

The line to Jamaica is quite a distance too. But I dunno if it's in the top 5.

Is the (A) to Brooklyn shorter than any other lines?

I think taking the (2) to the (A) is the longest route possible...

What somebody could do if they wanted to would be to make a Google Map of each train line, and it would say the length of the line.

@4P3607: You are correct. I think that involves transferring at 42nd Street, rather than Fulton Street.

I think the (A) was 31 miles 207 to Far Rock (longest line in the system), and 37 miles from (2) Wakefield-241 to (A) at Far Rock or something like that (longest continuous ride in the system).

SubwayGuy · February 25, 2011

I have the mileage for the top 3, I can post it tomorrow...like I said earlier it's A->F->2

Mysterious2train · February 25, 2011

In terms of number of stops made, I think the (2) is the longest.

Daniel The Cool · February 25, 2011

In terms of number of stops made, I think the is the longest.

false.

The (A) is longer than the (2)

Vistausss · February 25, 2011

false.

The is longer than the

Mysterious2Train said in terms of STOPS, not in terms of length.

February 25, 2011

Mysterious2train is correct. From Wakefield to Flatbush Av, there are 60 stops the (2) train makes during late nights, while the (A) makes 58 stops from Inwood to Far Rockaway.

Daniel The Cool · February 26, 2011

Mysterious2train is correct. From Wakefield to Flatbush Av, there are 60 stops the train makes during late nights, while the makes 58 stops from Inwood to Far Rockaway.

wrong. 63 or 65 stops the (A)

CTK246 · February 26, 2011

wrong. 63 or 65 stops the

Wrong again. 58 stops to Far Rockaway via Local.

Mysterious2train · February 26, 2011

wrong. 63 or 65 stops the

If you count the three different branches. But since a single trip can obviously only go on one branch at a time, a (2) train has more stops than the (A) .
