   Many years ago certain lines were joint service between the   
   BMT and IRT.  After a big reorg, that was eliminated.   
      
   BMT had narrow trains from its elevated division and thus   
   could share track with the IRT Flushing Line.   
      
   Somewhere there is a history of Queensboro Plaza station and   
   how it worked in the past before the big reorg.
