I noted the first part that says that because of the Asian popluation in the Flushing area the #7 was nicknamed the "Orient Express". I see where you have a reference to how that name came about. To be honest that is the first time I have ever heard of that.
The #7 is nicknamed the "International Express" because of the diverse number of communities that it goes through.
I am going to add that to the article.

A major issue is the fact that the line will be traversed by the Second Avenue Subway (T Line). As of yet, it seems that the line will connect with the Grand Central/Lexington Avenue Station of the 7 Line. This will mean too much crowding for that 7 Line station. Why not add an additional 7 Line station at Second avenue to connect to the new T Line? Dogru144 15:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Is the 7 train the first train to have the green circle of LEDs to designate local vs. red diamond of LEDs to designate express? It seems they are installed on all the cars running nowadays. In searching for it, I can see references to an earlier test where the LEDs spelled out "LCL" or "EXP" but I think the green circle / red diamond are more effective. The only place the route signs on the sides of the train are mentioned in the aritcle are in the first paragraph, but I'm not sure this edit is a key fact for the article.

I have heard of plans to extend the line 7 to the east using LIRR tracks of the Port Washington Branch. I have my doubts if this makes too much sense, because there are only two tracks to share, but is there any evidence that these plans existed or have been dropped? I understand that the third rail of LIRR and NY-subway is compatible.-- Bk1 168 ( talk) 11:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

I forget how often this has happened, but something on the Template:IRT Flushing Line got messed up again. ---- DanTD ( talk) 03:13, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

The two articles talk about the same set of tunnels under the East River, and can sufficiently be explained within one article. Epicgenius ( talk) 02:23, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Has anybody seen the single line diagram of this line back in the days when it was referred to as the "Steinway Line?" ( http://www.bmt-lines.com/cars-and-tracks/maps-and-drawings/) ( http://www.bmt-lines.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/astoria-flushing.pdf) Evidently, Times Square (IRT Flushing Line) was originally going to be named Seventh Avenue (IRT Flushing Line) and there was a proposed 11th Street (IRT Flushing Line) station in LIC. Seems like that one might be a little too far west of Queensboro Plaza and Court Square, don't you think? --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 10:37, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
@ DanTD: It looks like "11th Street" is actually Court Square. This keeps in mind that the avenues were originally streets (i.e. "Ely Avenue" is now 23rd Street, while "11th Street" is 45th Road). You can tell because Jackson Avenue and Davis Street are the modern-day names as well. epicgenius ( talk) 20:25, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

I could not find any info on the length of the line in miles. Am I missing something? 31.94.7.151 ( talk) 21:01, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
