[[Image:Subway train 125th.jpg|thumb|right|250 px|1 train approaching [[125th Street (IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line)|125th Street]] in Manhattan]]The line between the present Times Square–42nd Street station and 145th Street is part of the original subway line that opened on [[October 27]] [[1904]]. On [[November 12]], one additional station, 157th Street, opened and this became the northern terminal for trains.

The only major change to the 1 was made in 1959, before which time normal 1 service ran express along the West Side and into Brooklyn, and the [[3 (NYCS)|3]] was the local service to South Ferry. Since then, the 1 has ben the West Side local.
Several line extensions were made from then on. On [[January 16]] [[1905]], the line was extended south from Brooklyn Bridge to [[Broadway-Nassau-Fulton Streets (New York City Subway)#IRT Lexington Avenue Line platforms|Fulton Street]]. Over the next six months, three more stations ([[Wall Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line)|Wall Street]], [[Bowling Green (IRT Lexington Avenue Line)|Bowling Green]], and [[South Ferry (New York City Subway)|South Ferry]]) were added after a further extension south. From [[March 16]] [[1908]] to [[January 1]] [[1908]], the line was gradually extended north from 215th Street to Van Cortlandt Park-242nd Street.


When the [[first subway (New York City)|first subway]] opened between 1904 and 1908, one of the main service patterns was the West Side Branch, running from [[Lower Manhattan]] to [[Van Cortlandt Park]] via what is now the [[Lexington Avenue Line (IRT)|Lexington Avenue Line]], [[42nd Street Shuttle]], and [[Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line]]. Both local and express trains were operated, with express trains using the express tracks south of [[96th Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|96th Street]].

From [[June 3]] [[1917]] to [[July 1]] [[1918]], the line was extended south in segments from Times Square–42nd Street to South Ferry, forming a part of the new "H" system. On [[April 15]], [[1919]], the [[Clark Street Tunnel]], connecting the [[IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line]] with Brooklyn, was opened. At this time, the [[42nd Street Shuttle]] was formed, running between Times Square and Grand Central Terminal.

On [[December 19]], the [[IRT Eastern Parkway Line]] was opened, allowing trains to run east of [[Atlantic Avenue-Pacific Street (New York City Subway)#IRT Eastern Parkway Line platforms|Atlantic Avenue]]. During 1920, the line was extended further to [[Brooklyn College-Flatbush Avenue (IRT Nostrand Avenue Line)|Flatbush Avenue]] as a part of the newly-constructed [[IRT Nostrand Avenue Line]] and to [[Junius Street (IRT New Lots Line)|Junius Street]] as well.

Beginning [[January 3]], [[1921]], trains ran to Flatbush Avenue or the newly opened [[Pennsylvania Avenue (IRT Eastern Parkway Line)|Pennsylvania Avenue]] during rush hours. Other times, they terminated at Atlantic Avenue and shuttle trains ran between the Lexington Avenue platform of [[Court Street-Borough Hall (New York City Subway)#IRT Eastern Parkway Line platforms|Borough Hall]] and either Flatbush or Pennsylvania Avenues. Due to disapproval from riders, this service pattern ended a month later.

On [[January 16]] [[1922]], the Eastern Parkway Line to [[New Lots Avenue (IRT New Lots Line)|New Lots Avenue]] was completed. However, only a single track laid between New Lots and Pennsylvania Avenues, so thus, a shuttle ran between those two stations.

Beginning [[April 9]] [[1923]], Broadway-Seventh Avenue express trains ran from either Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street to Pennsylvania Avenue or 215th Street to Flatbush Avenue. Trains were extended past Pennsylvania Avenue to New Lots Avenue on [[October 31]], [[1924]] after an additional track was added between Pennsylvania Avenue and New Lots Avenue.


On [[February 6]] [[1959]], all local trains ran to South Ferry only, forming the current '''1''' service pattern.

The 1 Broadway–Seventh Avenue Local is a service of the New York City Subway. It is colored red on station signs, the New York City Subway map and on rollsigns on most A Division (IRT) rolling stock equipment because it represents service provided on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, which it follows for its entire route. (For more information on the line, including history, see that article.) 1 trains operate local between Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street in the Bronx and South Ferry in Manhattan at all times.

The 1 train uses the following lines:

1 train approaching 125th Street in Manhattan

The only major change to the 1 was made in 1959, before which time normal 1 service ran express along the West Side and into Brooklyn, and the 3 was the local service to South Ferry. Since then, the 1 has ben the West Side local.

When the first subway opened between 1904 and 1908, one of the main service patterns was the West Side Branch, running from Lower Manhattan to Van Cortlandt Park via what is now the Lexington Avenue Line, 42nd Street Shuttle, and Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line. Both local and express trains were operated, with express trains using the express tracks south of 96th Street. Express trains ran through to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn during rush hours, while other express trains and all local trains turned around at City Hall or South Ferry.[3][4][5]

The first portion of the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line south of Times Square–42nd Street, a shuttle to 34th Street–Penn Station, opened on June 3, 1917.[6] This shuttle was extended south to South Ferry, with a shorter shuttle on the Brooklyn Branch between Chambers Street and Wall Street, on July 1, 1918.[7] Finally, the new "H" system was implemented on August 1, 1918, joining the two halves of the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and sending all West Side trains south from Times Square.[8] The local tracks ran to South Ferry, while the express tracks used the Brooklyn Branch to Wall Street, extended into Brooklyn to Atlantic Avenue via the Clark Street Tunnel on April 15, 1919.[9] Extensions of the Eastern Parkway Line and the connecting Nostrand Avenue Line and New Lots Line opened in the next few years, with the end result being that West Side trains ran to Flatbush Avenue or New Lots Avenue.[citation needed]

On February 6 1959, all local trains ran to South Ferry only, forming the current 1 service pattern.

On August 21 1989, the 1/9 weekday skip-stop service was formed.[10] Skip-stop service operated north of 137th Street.

In 1994, midday skip-stop service was discontinued.[11] By this time, 1 trains only skipped Marble Hill–225th, 207th and 145th Streets and 9 trains only skipped 238th, 215th, Dyckman and 157th Streets.

After September 11, 2001, 1 trains had to be rerouted since the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line ran directly under the World Trade Center site and was heavily damaged in the collapse of the Twin Towers. It ran only between 242nd Street and 14th Street, running local north of and express south of 96th Street; the 9 train and skip-stop service were suspended at this time. On September 19, after a few switching delays at 96th Street, service was changed. 1 trains made all local stops from 242nd Street to New Lots Avenue via the Clark Street Tunnel and IRT Eastern Parkway Line, to replace 3 trains, which terminated at 14th Street, at all times except late nights, when it terminated at Chambers Street, Manhattan instead. On September 15 2002, 1 trains returned to South Ferry and the skip-stop service was restored.[12]

On May 27 2005, the 9 train and skip-stop service was discontinued.[11]
