List of Subway lines by length


Y2Julio

Recommended Posts


You have to remember how dense some of the stations on the (2) are,and each station is not an equal distance from each other, so station count doesn't equal line length.

 

We're discussing 2 things here: lines by length and lines with the most stops. (2) has the most stops, that's a fact.

I think after the 70(E) and 70(CC) switched southern terminals on Friday August 27, 1976, the 70(CC) had the second longest run from Bedford Park Boulevard to Beach 116th Street behind the 70(E) which had run 179th Street to Beach 116th Street.

Are you sure it wasn't the <C> that went from Bedford Park Blvd to Rockaway Park?

Before the topic gets locked:

(Q) is 2.81 miles from 57 St-7 Av to 96 St

SAS Phase 2 is planned to be 1.73 miles from 96 St to 125 St, or 4.54 miles from 57 St-7 Av to 125 St

(T) is planned to be 6.39 miles from 125 St to Houston St, and 8.16 miles from 125 St to Hanover Square

From here: http://web.mta.info/capital/sas_docs/feis/chapter05b.pdf (page 31)

The (7) line extension is about one mile, not counting the tail tracks. 

So using the numbers from the beginning of the thread, the (7) is now about 10.54 miles long. The (Q) is now 18.05 mi long and will be 19.78 mi after Phase 2.

Here is a table I made for all line lengths and station totals. This includes data that was previously given earlier in the post. I also added a column that multiplies the line length and station totals to combine the two variables and see how the lines compare. I also added a rank column that ranks all lines by this measure.

 

Disclaimer: the line length and station count is based on the longest possible size which includes weekend and night service.
