(the IRT Flushing Line is a rapid transit route of the ‘New York City Subway’ system, operated as part of the ‘A Division’)

(originally an ‘Interborough Rapid Transit Company’-operated route, the ‘Flushing Line’, as originally built, ran from ‘Flushing’ (QUEENS) to ‘Times Square’ (MANHATTAN); a western extension was built to ‘Hudson Yards’ in western ‘Manhattan’, and the line now stretches from ‘Flushing’ to ‘Chelsea” (MANHATTAN))

(it carries trains of the ‘7 local service’, as well as the express <7> during rush hours in the peak direction)

(it is shown in the color ‘raspberry’ on station signs, the official subway map, internal route maps in R188 cars, and route signs on the front and sides of R62A subway cars)

(before the line was opened all the way to ‘Flushing’, it was known as the Corona Line or Woodside and Corona Line)

(prior to the discontinuance of ‘BMT’ services in 1949, the portion of the ‘IRT Flushing Line’ between ‘Times Square ‘and ‘Queensboro Plaza’ was known as the Queensboro Line)

(the ‘Flushing Line’ has various styles of architecture, which range from ‘steel girder’ elevated structures to European-style concrete ‘viaducts)

(the underground stations have some unique designs as well)

(the designs include ‘Hunters Point Avenue’, which is in an ‘Italianate’ style; ‘Grand Central–42nd Street’, which is a single round tube similar to a ‘London Underground’ station; and ’34th Street–Hudson Yards’, which, with its deep vault and spacious interior, resembles a ‘Washington Metro’ station)
