1, 1917, as an extension of the <a href="/wiki/Queensboro_Line" class="mw-redirect" title="Queensboro Line">Queensboro Line</a> (now part of the <a href="/wiki/IRT_Flushing_Line" title="IRT Flushing Line">Flushing line</a>) from <a href="/wiki/Queensboro_Plaza_(IRT_Flushing_Line)" class="mw-redirect" title="Queensboro Plaza (IRT Flushing Line)">Queensboro Plaza</a>. The <a href="/wiki/IRT_Flushing_Line" title="IRT Flushing Line">Corona Line</a> (now also part of the Flushing Line) had already been built as another branch from Queensboro Plaza; when the Astoria Line opened half the trains ran to each terminal. At the time, the Queensboro Line ended on the other side of the <a href="/wiki/Steinway_Tunnel" title="Steinway Tunnel">Steinway Tunnel</a> at <a href="/wiki/Grand_Central_(IRT_Flushing_Line)" class="mw-redirect" title="Grand Central (IRT Flushing Line)">Grand Central</a>. </p><p>Tracks opened over the <a href="/wiki/Queensboro_Bridge" title="Queensboro Bridge">Queensboro Bridge</a> on July 23, 1917, allowing <a href="/wiki/Elevated_railway" title="Elevated railway">elevated trains</a> of the <a href="/wiki/IRT_Second_Avenue_Line" title="IRT Second Avenue Line">IRT Second Avenue Line</a> to operate to Queensborough Plaza and then over either the Astoria or Corona line. Once this link opened, all elevated trains went to Astoria, and all subway trains to Corona, but this was modified by 1923, with both divisions running on each line. On March 22, 1926, the Queensborough Line (and Astoria service) was extended west to <a href="/wiki/Fifth_Avenue_(IRT_Flushing_Line)" class="mw-redirect" title="Fifth Avenue (IRT Flushing Line)">Fifth Avenue</a>, and it was completed west to <a href="/wiki/Times_Square_(IRT_Flushing_Line)" class="mw-redirect" title="Times Square (IRT Flushing Line)">Times Square</a> on March 14, 1927. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Brooklyn-Manhattan_Transit_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation">BMT</a> <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Subway_shuttles" class="mw-redirect" title="New York City Subway shuttles">shuttles</a> (also labeled internally as <a href="/wiki/BMT_8" class="mw-redirect" title="BMT 8">8</a>) began using the Astoria Line on April 8, 1923, with a transfer to the <a href="/wiki/BMT_Broadway_Line" title="BMT Broadway Line">Broadway Line</a> at Queensborough Plaza. This joint operation ended on October 17, 1949, and all IRT trains started operating to Flushing (where the Corona Line had been extended in 1928) and all BMT trains operated to Astoria. The numbers were only publicly used starting in 1948, so the public only knew the Astoria Line's IRT services as the 8 for about a year. Direct service between Astoria and Times Square ended on July 24, 1949.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span

As part of the hybrid operating plan, 3 and 5 trains would switch termini in Brooklyn, though the 5 would run express on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line to Crown Heights–Utica Avenue. This change would eliminate the need for 5 trains from the Eastern Parkway Line express tracks to merge onto the local tracks to go to or from the Nostrand Avenue Line, allowing for reduced congestion and increased service. To cover local service between Franklin Avenue and Utica Avenue, a new service, the 8, would be operated, running between <a href="/wiki/Wakefield%E2%80%93241st_Street_station" title="Wakefield–241st Street station">Wakefield–241st Street</a> in the Bronx and <a href="/wiki/New_Lots_Avenue_station_(IRT_New_Lots_Line)" title="New Lots Avenue station (IRT New Lots Line)">New Lots Avenue</a> in Brooklyn, with a headway of ten minutes during the peak.
