For more than three decades from its inception in 1932, many New Yorkers called the entire IND system the Eighth Avenue Subway.

Most of the line is quadruple-tracked (with one local and one express track in each direction), except for the extreme north and south ends (which have just two tracks).

For this reason, some A trains (R32 and R38 only) hav
