   The following wikip entry gives the history of the "T" route code.  It   
   was previously used on the former BMT #3, the West End line.

   For what its worth, the above entry refers to the new Second Avenue T   
   line as the color turquoise.

   If I read it correctly, only three stations are opening at present;   
   and they're still working on 106 St, 116 St, and 125 St., and the   
   entire section below 72nd St.   
      
   With only three stations open, do they really expect significant   
   ridership?  Sure, they should open with whatever they got done,   
   but it would be nice, given all the time and money expended, that   
   they'd have a decent route available.  My _guess_ is that this   
   short segment won't materially reduce Lexington Ave overcrowding.
