(the Canarsie Line (sometimes referred to as the 14th Street–Canarsie Line) is a ‘rapid transit line’ of the ‘BMT’ Division of the ‘New York City Subway’ system, named after its terminus in the ‘Canarsie’ neighborhood of ‘Brooklyn’)

(it is served by the L train at all times, which is shown in the color ‘light slate gray’ on the ‘NYC Subway’ map and on station signs)

(the line is part of the ‘BMT Eastern Division’, and is occasionally referred to as the Eastern District Line)

(this refers to ‘Williamsburg’, which was described as Brooklyn’s “Eastern District” when the ‘City of Williamsburg’ was annexed by the former ‘City of Brooklyn’)

(this was the location where the original ‘Brooklyn’ subway portions of the line were laid out)

(only later was the line connected to the tracks leading to ‘Canarsie’)

(‘Eastern District High School’, near the line’s ‘Grand Street’ station, had preserved this toponym until it was closed in 1996, later reopened as ‘Grand Street Educational Campus’)
