D (New York City Subway service)
Encyclopedia
The D Sixth Avenue Express is a rapid transit
service of the New York City Subway
. It is colored orange on route signs, station signs, and the official subway map, since it uses the IND Sixth Avenue Line
through Manhattan
.
The D service operates at all times from 205th Street in Norwood, Bronx
, to Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn via Concourse
in the Bronx, Eighth Avenue
(under Central Park West
) and Sixth Avenue
in Manhattan, and the north side of the Manhattan Bridge
to and from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, D service operates via the BMT Fourth Avenue
and West End
lines.
At all times, D trains operate express in Manhattan. Trains operate local in the Bronx at all times except rush hours, when they run express in peak direction only (mornings to Manhattan, evenings from Manhattan). In Brooklyn, D trains bypass DeKalb Avenue and operate express along the Fourth Avenue corridor at all times except late nights, when they stop at DeKalb Avenue and operate local.
D service began on December 15, 1940 when the IND Sixth Avenue Line
opened. It ran from 205th Street, Bronx to World Trade Center on the IND Eighth Avenue Line
(at that time was called Hudson Terminal), switching from the IND Sixth Avenue to the Eighth Avenue Lines at West Fourth Street – Washington Square.
On December 29, 1951, peak direction express service in the Bronx was discontinued.
On October 30, 1954, a connection between the IND South Brooklyn Line and BMT Culver Line opened. D service was rerouted via these two lines to Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue with limited rush hour trains to Church Avenue
.
Between 1957 to 1959, limited rush hour trains ran express and/or local to IND Fulton Street Line
.
From December 4 to December 27, 1962, a special service labeled DD was provided due to a water main break. It ran local from 205th Street, Bronx to 59th Street – Columbus Circle, then continued as a local down the Eighth Avenue Line to West Fourth Street, where it switched to the Sixth Avenue Line and continued on its normal route to Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue via the Culver Line.
On November 26, 1967, the Chrystie Street Connection
opened, adding express service on the Sixth Avenue Line and connecting it with the Manhattan Bridge
. D service was switched over to BMT Brighton Line
via this new connector. It became the express service on weekdays to Brighton Beach
and the local to Stillwell Avenue other times. In Manhattan, it ran express from West 4th Street to 34th Street rush hours only (the used the express tracks to terminate there at other times). It would become the full time Sixth Avenue Express when non-rush hours service was extended to 57th Street – Sixth Avenue
.
When the north side of the Manhattan Bridge
was closed in April 1986, D service ran in two sections, one between the Bronx and 34th Street (the Orange D) while the other ran from 57th Street – Seventh Avenue on the BMT Broadway Line
, then express along the Broadway Line to Canal Street, then over the south side of the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn, and then along the Brighton Line to Stillwell Avenue (the Yellow D). At this time, D/ skip-stop
service ran in Brooklyn on weekdays.
In 1988, the north side reopened and the two sections joined. The D now ran as the full time Brighton Local to Stillwell Avenue.
In May 1995, the north side was closed during midday and weekends and D service was cut south of 34th Street-Herald Square. On July 22, 2001, it was closed at all times and D service was cut again. In Brooklyn, it was replaced by local service.
After September 11, 2001
, service was suspended. On weekends, the D ran local on the Eighth Avenue Line north of 59th Street to fill in the gap caused by the suspension.
On February 22, 2004, the north side of the Manhattan Bridge was reopened, and D trains were extended via the north side of the bridge to Brooklyn, replacing the as the Fourth Avenue Express
(late nights local) and West End Local
to Stillwell Avenue. For Brooklyn service, the D had become the B and vice-versa.
From May 24 to Fall 2004, construction on the IND Concourse Line
suspended D express service in the Bronx, but the still traveled to/from Bedford Park Boulevard during rush hours.
The Eighth Avenue fire in January 2005 caused D trains to run local on the Eighth Avenue Line north of 59th Street on weekday evenings until service was restored on February 2.
