Bay Ridge is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of the New York City borough of
After passing the former junction with the line to the shore, the Sea Beach widens to the width of four tracks, but the southbound express track is in need of repair. All stations have two side platforms, with no platform access to the express tracks anywhere on the Sea Beach right-of-way.
The Sea Beach Line currently carries N trains. The N Broadway Express is a service of the New York City Subway.
Express tracks
The express tracks were originally intended to host the Coney Island Express, a fast train to Coney Island since elevated train days. Express service was carried on these tracks twice in the line's history — for fast summer weekend expresses (1924–1952) to Chambers Street station near City Hall, and again for a short time in 1967 and 1968 to provide a fast rush-hour Broadway Line express service for Coney Island-area riders. Chambers Street is a station on the BMT Nassau Street Line of the New York City Subway. The BMT Broadway Line is a Rapid transit line of the B Division of the New York City Subway in Manhattan, New York City, United Though these expresses are thought of as being Sea Beach Expresses, they did not serve a single station on the Sea Beach Line, as there are no express stations on the entire line.
The express tracks on the Sea Beach had other uses over the years. Most new equipment, especially experimental cars, was broken in on these tracks. The tracks were used for motorman training, and they also were set up with a short stretch of 1950s-era automation to test the ill-fated system later used on one track of the IRT 42nd Street Shuttle. See Operation Motorman for the British Army operation in Northern Ireland A motorman is the person who operates an electrified trolley Automation ( Ancient Greek: = self dictated) roboticization or industrial automation or Numerical control is the use of Control systems The 42nd Street Shuttle is a New York City Subway shuttle train service that operates in Manhattan.
Historically, the two express tracks were an absolute block, that is, there was no signal control between one end of the tracks near Sixth Avenue and Kings Highway station. Kings Highway is a station on the BMT Sea Beach Line of the New York City Subway, located at Kings Highway and West 7th Street in Brooklyn. A new train was not supposed to enter the block until any train in front of it had departed the block.
The express tracks from Sixth Avenue to Kings Highway were allowed to severely deteriorate, as did much of the system from the 1970s on. In 1998, it was decided to rehabilitate the express tracks in this area, with full signalling. Only one of the tracks was repaired, however, and the other one was left for a future decision. This is why the southbound track (E3) is inaccessible from 59th Street to Kings Highway. 59th Street is a station on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway, located at 59th Street and Fourth Avenue in the Brooklyn The northbound (E4) track was rehabilitated for two-way traffic from its northern end to Kings Highway and the southbound (E3) track remains unused, in need of repair. If it is repaired, it is likely that the whole track will be rebuilt from scratch since the current track is severely deformed. The Northbound express track is sometimes used for reroutes in both directions when either local track is in need of maintenance.
Southern portion of the line
Before and after Kings Highway, there are crossover switches to the southbound express track from the northbound express track. Kings Highway is a station on the BMT Sea Beach Line of the New York City Subway, located at Kings Highway and West 7th Street in Brooklyn. On both sides of Kings Highway, crossovers exist to allow express trains to switch to the local tracks before the station, or to allow local trains to switch to express after the station.
The express tracks end south of Gravesend–86th Street as the line becomes double-tracked, and cut diagonally adjacent to the Coney Island Yards. Gravesend–86th Street is a station on the BMT Sea Beach Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of 86th Street and West 7th Street The Coney Island Complex of the New York City Subway system is the largest Rapid transit yard in the world After several yard connections, the line ends at the Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue terminal. A rail yard, or railroad yard, is a complex series of Railroad tracks for storing sorting or loading/unloading Railroad cars and/or Locomotives Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue (also known as Coney Island Terminal) is a major Rapid transit station in Coney Island, Brooklyn

Except at its two ends, the railroad used the same route as the current transit line. At the Bay Ridge end, the railroad ran just north of the Long Island Rail Road's Bay Ridge Branch, ending at the Bay Ridge Channel around 64th Street. The current line joins this alignment near Fifth Avenue. The old railroad crossed the Bay Ridge Branch with a pronounced S-curve just east of Seventh Avenue; the crossing is now much straighter, with the Bay Ridge Branch in a deeper cut. On the Coney Island end, the original path curved left soon after the curve to the right at the northern edge of the Coney Island Yards, ending at the combined Sea Beach Palace hotel and depot, on the north side of the BMT Brighton Line at around West 10th Street.
