   ? It was never an IRT line. (How could smaller IRT cars serve the stations   
   with platforms for wider BMT cars?) The Queensborough Plaza station was   
   originally shared by both companies, but on different levels/sides of the   
   structure. That capability was mostly dismantled a long time ago. On some   
   early maps there's a sort of double line for Astoria, but that must have   
   been some sort of financial arrangement, not anything about what trains   
   served the line.
