The Ultimate 2 (New York City Subway service) - American History Information Guide and Reference

For the former service, see BMT 2.

The 2 Seventh Avenue Express is a service of the New York City Subway. It is colored red, since it uses the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line through midtown. Trains of the service run all the time. The usual pattern is express through Manhattan and local elsewhere; at late nights it is local everywhere. Some rush hour trips run to New Lots Avenue.

The 2 was one of the last strongholds of the Redbird cars. Introduced in the mid-1950s to early 1960s, they ran on the line until 2001-2002.

The following lines are used by the 2:
