For more than three decades from its inception in 1932, many New Yorkers called the entire IND system the Eighth Avenue Subway, though this was never its official name. Except south of World Trade Center station (where the local tracks end), the whole line is quadruple-tracked, with one local and one express track in each direction. The northern section of the Eighth Avenue Line (north of 145th Street) was once known as the Washington Heights Line. (references) |

Except west of Queens Plaza, the line is quadruple-tracked, with express service on the inner tracks.

It is the second busiest line in the system, the busiest being the IRT Lexington Avenue Line. (references) |

It split from the IND Queens Boulevard Line at an existing flying junction east of Forest Hills-71st Avenue, ran through Jamaica Yard and then ran northeast and north through Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (roughly where the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678) is now) to the World's Fair station, a bit south of Horace Harding Boulevard (now the Long Island Expressway (I-495)).
