IRT Eastern Parkway Line

Legend

The Eastern Parkway Line is one of the lines of the IRT division of the New York City Subway, stretching from Downtown Brooklyn east to Crown Heights. After passing Crown Heights–Utica Avenue, the line rises onto an elevated structure and becomes the New Lots Line to the end at New Lots Avenue in New Lots, Brooklyn. The west end of the Eastern Parkway Line is at the Joralemon Street Tunnel under the East River.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

The IRT Nostrand Avenue Line splits from the Eastern Parkway Line.

^ In a 1981 list of "most deteriorated subway stations", the MTA listed Borough Hall and Court Street stations as part of the New Lots Line:
New York Times, Agency Lists Its 69 Most Deteriorated Subway Stations, June 11, 1981, section B, page 5
^ The chaining designation "M" (Joralemon Street Tunnel) becomes "E" (Eastern Parkway Line) just west of the Borough Hall platforms; the Court Street and northern Borough Hall stations are chained "K" (Clark Street Tunnel).
^ However, as of 2007, emergency exit signs label Court Street as an IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line station, and the two parts of Borough Hall are signed as being along the Broadway–Seventh Avenue and IRT Lexington Avenue Lines.
