(the IND Fulton Street Line is a rapid transit line of the ‘IND Division’ of the ‘New York City Subway’, running from the ‘Cranberry Street Tunnel’ under the ‘East River’ through all of ‘central brooklyn’ to a terminus in ‘Ozone Park’, ‘Queens’)

(the ‘IND Rockaway Line’ branches from it just east of ‘Rockaway Boulevard’)

(the A train runs ‘express’ during daytime hours and ‘local’ at night on the underground portion of the line; it runs local on the elevated portion of the line at all times)

(the C train runs local on the underground portion of the line at all times except ‘late nights’)

(the line runs primarily along ‘Fulton Street’, ‘Pitkin Avenue’, and ‘Liberty Avenue’)

(the underground portion, which constitutes the majority of the line, was built for the city-owned ‘Independent Subway System’ (IND), opening between 1936 and 1956)

(the elevated portion in ‘Queens’ was originally part of the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT)’s ‘Fulton Street’ elevated line; the ‘El’ in ‘Brooklyn’ was closed and demolished in stages with the opening of the subway line)
