Talk:BMT Broadway Line

BMT acronymn?
The acronym "BMT" is not explained. As I remember from ca 1949 it stands for "Brooklyn Midtown Transit." Anybody want to verify and fix? Carrionluggage 04:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Just click through on the BMT wikilink and you'll find out what it stands for. :) -- Cecropia 06:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

About the Manhattan Bridge
See, Acps110, I read the history site on the W train page. It says When all four tracks on the Manhattan Bridge were restored on February 22, 2004, the W was changed to its final service pattern as a weekday local between Whitehall Street – South Ferry and Queens. This means the W was local and the N was express. That's when the Manhattan Bridge's north tracks reopen for the B and D trains. Read more about the service history of the B, D, N, Q and W train pages so you can get a better understand you meanie.

Hudson river?
There are repeated references in the "History" section to the Hudson river but seem to be discussing the East River, unless I am reading them wrong. Somebody should correct this.


 * This is accurate. As originally planned, the Canal Street–Bridge Line would have ended at the Hudson River. However, it was connected to the Broadway Line.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 11:03, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
