7 (New York City Subway service)
Encyclopedia
The 7 Flushing Local and 7 Flushing Express are rapid transit
services of the New York City Subway
, providing local and express services along the full length of the IRT Flushing Line
. The services are colored purple on station signs, route signs, and the official subway map, with local service denoted by a 7 in a circular logo, and express service by a 7 in a diamond-shaped logo.
Local service operates at all times. Express service runs weekdays from 6:30 to 10:00 a.m. going to Times Square and 3:00 to 10:00 p.m. (15:00 to 22:00) going to Flushing – Main Street. "Super Express" service to Manhattan is also provided after New York Mets
games weeknights and weekends at Citi Field and US Open (tennis) games: starting at Mets – Willets Point and operating express to Times Square, also bypassing Junction Boulevard
, Hunters Point Avenue
and Vernon Boulevard – Jackson Avenue. The 7 service operates with 11-car trains, more than any other New York City Subway route.
The 7 has been nicknamed the "International Express," because the route travels through several different ethnic neighborhoods populated by U.S. immigrants
, especially along Roosevelt Avenue
. This name is not official, nor is the title used in day to day operations.
" subway cars. Until 2002, the entire fleet was dominated by the R33
/R36
World's Fair cars. In 2001, with the arrival of the R142
/R142A
cars, the Transit Authority announced the retirement of all Redbird cars. From 2002-03, the Bombardier
-built R62A
cars formerly used on the and trains gradually replaced the R33/36 WF's cars on the 7. On November 3, 2003, the last Redbird train made its final trip on this line, making all stops between Times Square and (the then-named) Willets Point – Shea Stadium.
Several Redbird cars running on this line were decorated with Mets
logos and colors during the 2000 Subway Series
against the New York Yankees
, as the line runs adjacent to Citi Field and the former location of Shea Stadium
. Some R33/R36 WFs remain in Corona Yard, adjacent to Flushing Meadow Corona Park and Citi Field.
Currently, all of the R62A
s on the 7 have been upgraded with LED
lighted signs to distinguish between express and local trains. These signs are located on the rollsigns that are found on the side of each car. The local is a green circle around the 7 service bullet while the express is a red diamond. Previously, the rollsigns showed either a 7 within a circle or a 7 within a diamond with the word "Express" underneath it.
On June 13, 1915, the first test train on the IRT Flushing Line
ran between Grand Central and Vernon Boulevard – Jackson Avenue, followed by the start of revenue service on June 22. Over the next thirteen years, the line was extended piece by piece to its current form between Times Square and Flushing – Main Street.
The 7 designation has been assigned to its current route since the introduction of front rollsigns on the R12
in 1948.
From May 13, 1985 to August 21, 1989, the IRT Flushing Line was overhauled for improvements, including the installation of new track, repair of station structures and to improve line infrastructure. The major element was the replacement of rails on the Queens Boulevard viaduct. Express service was suspended for the duration of the project; however, extra service was provided for Mets games and Flushing Meadows Park events. Upon the completion of the project, express service was restored, but express trains bypassed the 61st Street – Woodside station because the Transit Authority was concerned about passengers transferring between local and express trains at that station. The stop was added a few months later after pressure from community opposition.
In the mid-1990s, the MTA discovered that the Queens Boulevard viaduct structure was unstable, as rocks that were used to support the tracks as ballast
became loose due to poor drainage, which, in turn, affected the integrity of the concrete structure overall. Express service was suspended between 61st Street – Woodside and Queensboro Plaza; temporary platforms were installed to access the express track in the four intermediate stations. The work began in April 1993. When the viaduct reconstruction finished on March 31, 1997, full express service was reinstated.
In 1999, express service was expanded from rush hours only to weekdays from 6:30 to 22:00 (6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. eastern time
). However, this expansion was cut back in 2009 due to frequent midday construction.
Work has been underway since 2008 to convert the 7 service to accommodate Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC). Expected to cost $585.9 million, CBTC will allow two additional trains per hour, providing a 7% increase in capacity. New cars on order for the A-Division (R188 contract
) are compatible with CBTC, which the MTA estimates will be completed in 2016.
An extension of the Flushing line
west then south to 34th Street
– 11th Avenue, near the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center
, is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed in 2013. On November 16, 2010, New York City officials announced they are considering a further extension of the service across the Hudson River to the Secaucus Junction
train station in New Jersey. As of October 26th, 2011 tentative support for the extension has been given by New York City Mayor Bloomberg as well as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in comments to the press.
