    The IRT Pelham Line started in 1918-20 on the 6 line with 18 stations in Eastern Bronx, a rapid transit line on the New York City Subway, operated as part of the A Division and served by the 6 & <6> trains. It was built as part of the Dual Contracts expansion & opened between 1918 & 1920. It is both elevated & underground with Whitlock Avenue being the southernmost elevated station. It has three tracks from the beginning to just south of the Pelham Bay Park terminal. The Pelham Line also has a connection to Westchester Yard, where 6 trains are stored, just north of Westchester Square-East Tremont Avenue. 20 stations on the Lexington line south of Pelham-Jerome tube. The current fleet is the R62A from the 7 to replace the R142A to the 7. Weekday express service between Parkchester & 138th St-3rd Ave (stop included Hunts Point Ave), southbound in the morning & northbound in the afternoon & evenings. Some weekday service trains begin & terminate @ Westchester Sq, Parkchester or 138th St-3rd Ave. Some northbound trains run express after Hunts Point into Parkchester, southbound trains after 9am to 10am run local from PBP to HPA then express to 138th & 3rd.

    Station list:

    Pelham Bay Park (northern terminal), Buhre Ave, Middletown Rd, Westchester Sq-East Tremont Ave, Zerega Ave, Castle Hill Ave, Parkchester, Saint Lawrence Ave, Morrison Ave-Soundview, Elder Ave, Whitlock Ave, Hunts Point Ave, Longwood Ave, East 149th St, East 143rd-Saint Mary's Sts, Cypress Ave, Brook Ave, 138th St-3rd Ave, 125th-Lexington, 116th St, 110th St, 103rd St, 96th St, 86th St, 77th St-Lenox Hill Hospital, 68th St-Hunter College, 59th St, 51st St, 42nd St-Grand Central Station, 33rd St (Park Ave South), 28th St, 23rd St, 14th St-Union Sq, Astor Place, Bleecker St, Spring St, Canal St & Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall (southern terminal).

    Then the City Hall loop back into the station on the uptown side. Approximately run times: 65 minutes for the entire route, an hour south of Westchester Square for some trains & express trains between 138th St-3rd & Parkchester, 50-55 minutes south of Parkchester, 35 minutes south of 138th St-3rd Ave.

    DTG have stated previously NYC Subway not going to happen for TSW. While MTA happy to licence for LIRR, that does not extend to the Subway particularly access to trains or the tunnel sections for research.

    Licensing Issue for NYCT. If made you need the 4 train R142A followed by 4, & 5 trains R142 for the City Hall 125th segment.
