Storia[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

La linea IND Sixth Avenue venne costruita per sostituire la linea sopraelevata IRT Sixth Avenue, che venne chiusa e demolita nel 1939. La prima parte della linea venne inaugurata il 1º gennaio 1936, possedeva due binari ed andava da West Fourth Street-Washington Square a East Broadway. La prima parte della linea non sorgeva però sotto la Sixth Avenue ed era, infatti, in origine, conosciuta come linea Houston-Essex Street. Dopo l'apertura, la linea E, che operava tra Jackson Heights e l'Hudson Terminal, venne spostata sulla nuova linea.[1] Vennero poi costruiti due binari espressi sotto Houston Street, fino ad Essex Street, che avrebbero dovuto attraversare l'East River per poi connettersi con la mai costruita linea IND Worth Street.[2][3][4][5]

Appena dopo la mezzanotte del 9 aprile 1936, i treni cominciarono a correre sotto l'East River attraversando il Rutgers Street Tunnel, che collegava la linea Houston-Essex Street con l'estremità nord della linea Jay-Smith-Ninth Street e con il raccordo con la linea IND Eighth Avenue, situato a nord della stazione di Jay Street-Borough Hall.

In un primo momento al città penso di far passare sotto la Sixth Avenue il tunnel della Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (Odierna Port Authority Trans-Hudson) e di costruire in futuro la metropolitana ad un livello inferiore rispetto a questo tunnel.[6]

Inoltre i tronconi che vennero realizzati per un progetto di espansione sotto Central Park, vero Harlem, sono oggi parte della linea IND 63rd Street.[7]

I binari locali della parte centrale della linea vennero poi aperti alle 00:01 del 15 dicembre 1940. Vennero così create le seguenti linee:

  • Linea BB (Washington Heights Local): nuova linea, che opera durante le ore di punta, va da 168th Street a l'Hudson Terminal;
  • Linea D (Bronx Concourse Express): nuova linea che va da Norwood-205th Street a l'Hudson Terminal;
  • Linea F (Queens-Manhattan Express): nuova linea che va da Parsons Boulevard a Church Avenue.
