"A' trains are still running 8th Avenue Express during normal hours in Brooklyn. Other times, "A" Trains runs as a local in Brooklyn.

The "C" Train was originally operating as, "the 8th Avenue Bronx Concourse Express", in the 1930's to early 1950's. The line was phased out for a long while. It re-appears as a 8th Avenue local when one of the original 8th Ave locals, "CC" , went out of service.
