2- 7 Avenue White Plains Road Express
The
2-7 Avenue Express is one of the longer lines in the IRT division of the
New York Subway. Operating between Wakefield (241 Street) in the
Bronx near the
Westchester County border and
Brooklyn College in the Flatbush section of
Brooklyn, the 2 is express only in
Manhattan. At late nights, it is local. It runs alongside the 1 & 9 trains in Manhattan from 96 Street to Chambers Street.
The 2 was one of the last strongholds of the Redbird cars. Introduced in the mid-1950s to early 1960s, they ran on the line until 2001-2002.
