Page "IND Queens Boulevard Line" Paragraph 4

From here, the line runs under Queens Boulevard until it turns north onto Broadway after Grand Avenue – Newtown.

Near Jackson Heights – Roosevelt Avenue, an abandoned trackless tunnel for the IND Second System branches off into an unused upper part of the station which is used for storage.

At the intersection of Broadway and Northern Boulevard, the express tracks turn west under Northern Boulevard.

The local tracks take a longer route, remaining under Broadway, then turning south onto Steinway Street and west again onto Northern Boulevard, where they rejoin the express tracks.

This is only one of two areas in the subway where the express tracks diverge from the local tracks ( the other being the IND Culver Line between Seventh Avenue and Church Avenue.
