"It was the first actual integration of BMT and IND lines after the unification of all major lines under New York City municipal ownership in 1940." I don't think this is correct. The IND connected to the BMT's Culver Line between Church and Ditmas in 1954. That is an actual integration, no? The Interloafer ( talk) 18:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
This is a crucial connection. Yet the geometric design at the upper right of the page does not suffice for description of the line's route.
The opening paragraph speaks to its importance but it does not speak to whether it travels east-west (is it the east-west line below Houston street between Broadway and Essex Street) or north-south (the train route between Houston Street and Canal Street).
This article could benefit from the inclusion of a map of the train route set against a regional map. There is precedence for this. Note this example of map, used for the Rockaways H line: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NYCS_map_S_Rockaway.svg [1]. Dogru144 ( talk) 12:35, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
I corrected the above problems of poor context of the opening of the article, which lacked any note as to geographical direction of line or of the lettered lines. This is what another editor is removing without adequate explanation:
The Chrystie Street Connection is a major connecting line of the New York City Subway, it runs north-south under Chrystie Street from Houston Street to Canal Street. It is one of the few connections between lines of the (former) BMT and IND divisions. Currently, the B and the D lines run along this line. To date the Chrystie Street Connection's two parts are the only part of the long-planned Second Avenue Subway to be completed and opened to service. As a road, Chrystie Street extends northward beyond Houston Street to become Manhattan's Second Avenue.
The editor removed this improvement, adding the comment that there are two lines running there. Yes, that is something that I put into the opening of the article. Dogru144 ( talk) 21:59, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
