Bullet Info — 6th Avenue Line

A 6th Avenue Line

Status Not In Use
Possible Uses Whenever 8th Avenue A trains are diverted to the 6th Avenue Line, following the D and F routes. There was also a story of some major interruption forcing Q trains to replace A trains from 207th Street to 59th Street, but the Upper West Siders didn't like that the A as they know it was replaced by a "lower-than-life" Q, so this is what came of it. Ironically, the only equipment that carries this bullet, as of this writing, is not in service.
