  • the J line still uses a few R42s. They will be around til 2014

  • the train name was theqj not the jj it ran from coney island to 168street and jamaica avenue i wish they could bring back that train

  • One more thing...the Queens Boulevard and the Metropolitan Avenue station on the old BMT Jamaica Line el was closed in April of 1985, and the last of the old end of the el along with those two stations

    was demolised in the late 80's/early 90s.

  • (Continued)

    The Archer Avenue Subway was conceived as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's 1968 expansion plans along with the 63rd Street line, this line is one of the newest sections of the system. The Archer Avenue subway was opened on December 11, 1988, extending the J line back east from 121st Street to Jamaica Center, and the present J/Z skip-stop pattern was implemented.

    Elimination of double letters services of the New York City Subway happened in May of 1985.

  • (Continued)

    The 168th Street, 160th Street, and the Sutphin Boulevard stations of the BMT Jamaica Avenue El from was demolished in 1977-79. The J service got cut back and now ran to Queens Boulevard, and then cut back again to 121st Street on April 15, 1985. This was done because the rest of the BMT Jamaica Line was being connected to the Archer Avenue Subway.

  • On November 26, 1967,? the JJ train service began. It ran between the Elevated 168th Street/Jamaica Station (now-demolished) and the Broad Street Station, while morning rush hour JJ trains ran to Canal Street, and afternoon rush hour JJ trains ran between Canal Street and Atlantic Avenue or Crescent Street.

    The JJ service was discontined in July of 1968. The 168th Street, 160th Street and the Sutphin? Boulevard stations on the old end of the Jamaica Ave El was closed in September of 1977.

  • cool, thanks :)

  • spiderman 2 el train scene was shot primarly in Chicago in the loop

  • The JJ ran to Jamaica Center, and it used to be elevated all the way. It was demolished in the late 60s, and the JJ ran to 121st street. In the late 1970s, the JJ ran to Jamaica, but the two stations were underground. The JJ died in 1986, and the J continues.

    Pretty cool history on this route...

  • reminds me of spiderman 2! i love new york!!! the trains look so cool! id love to be driving this train!
