Talk:IND Culver Line

Antiquated name?

A recent anonymous editor modified the leading sentence to read:

The IND Culver Line is an antiquated name of the rapid transit line of the IND Division of the New York City Subway....

I reverted the change and am responding here in case that editor returns to have another look. The NYCS|WikiProject New York City Subway has adopted the convention of prepending IRT, BMT, or IND to each line, and this convention is used on hundreds of pages. Putting "antiquated" without further explanation on just one of these pages is clearly not going to help the reader. Marc Shepherd 12:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Former stations

Stations when it was a steam line included the following:

• Greenwood (9th Avenue and 20th Street)
• Turner's near Fort Hamilton Parkway
• Kensington at Avenue C
• Ditmas Avenue or Kensington Junction?
• 18th Avenue
• Parkville at the Bay Ridge Branch
• Cemetery, Washington Cemetery, Washington, or 22nd Avenue (Bay Parkway)
• Woodlawn, Harris, or Avenue N
• Avenue P
• King's Highway or Kings Highway
• Brooklyn Jockey Club, Jockey Club Race Course, or Race Track between Avenue S and Avenue T
• Gravesend at Gravesend Neck Road
• Avenue W
• Van Sicklen, Van Sicklen's, or Van Sicklens at Coney Island Plank Road (north of Neptune Avenue)
• Coney Island, West Brighton Beach, or West Brighton terminal at Surf Avenue west of West 5th Street

Branch from 5th Avenue and 36th Street

• 39th Street Ferry
• 8th Avenue
• 9th Avenue
• West Brooklyn-Fort Hamilton Avenue or Fort Hamilton Avenue
• 13th Avenue
• 15th Avenue

This map confirms a few of the stations, and something else, which I'm going to bring up on the main NYPT talk page. ----DanTD (talk) 21:45, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

A map from TrainWeb's South Brooklyn Railway page gives some concrete evidence of Ditmas Avenue being Kensington Junction. Now We just need a good reason to believe that West Brooklyn-Fort Hamilton Avenue (Culver Line) was replaced by Fort Hamilton Parkway (BMT Culver Line). ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:18, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments

Images

• There are almost too many, but I think it works. Any more and you'd crowd out the text. The one I'd move is File:Bmt_triplex_no_5.png, which brackets the text in conjunction with File:Culverstub.JPG in that section. Stacking them would solve the problem.
• Everything about licensing seems to be in order.

Extent and service

• "However, there has been no express service on the Culver Line since 1987. Express service has only operated once on the line from 1968 to 1987." These sentences say much the same thing, and could probably be combined and shortened.

Automated equipment

• I would spell out "Communications-based train control" the first time it's mentioned.

IND Brooklyn Line (1933–1954)

• I made some minor copyedits, please revert if I've changed the meaning of sentences improperly.
• Everything else looks good so far. I'll do a second pass while you work on these. --Coemgenus (talk) 18:40, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I have dealt with all of these.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 18:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
    • I think that's everything. Nice article! I'll promote it right away. --Coemgenus (talk) 12:01, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
      • Thank you so much! --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 00:46, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
