2 (New York City Subway service)
From Freepedia
The 2 Seventh Avenue Express is a service of the New York City Subway. It is colored red, since it uses the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line through midtown. Trains of the 2 service run all the time. The usual pattern is express through Manhattan and local elsewhere; at late nights it is local everywhere. Some rush hour trips run to New Lots Avenue.
The 2 was one of the last strongholds of the Redbird cars. Introduced in the mid-1950s to early 1960s, they ran on the line until 2001-2002.
The following lines are used by the 2:
| Line | Tracks | When |
|---|---|---|
| IRT White Plains Road Line (full line) | local | always |
| IRT Lenox Avenue Line south of 135th Street | N/A | always |
