JAMAICA CENTER – PARSONS/ARCHER

SUTPHIN BOULEVARD -ARCHER AVENUE – JFK AIRPORT

(the Archer Avenue Lines are two rapid transit lines of the ‘New York City Subway’, mostly running under ‘Archer Avenue’ in the ‘Jamaica’ neighborhood of ‘Queens’)

(conceived as part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s ‘1968 expansion plans’, they opened on 11 december 1988)

(the two lines are built on separate levels, served by trains from the ‘IND Queens Boulevard Line’ (E train) on the upper level, and the ‘BMT Jamaica Line’ (J Z trains) on the lower)

(since the two levels share no track connections and have different ‘chainings’ and radio frequencies, they are two separate lines—the B2 (IND) Division Archer Avenue Line (upper level) and the B1 (BMT) Division Archer Avenue Line (lower level))
