The Q was originally the [[Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation]] (BMT)'s '''1''' service; beginning in 1920, it ran along the Brighton Line in Brooklyn and Broadway Line in Manhattan. In the past, the Q has run many different service patterns in Brooklyn, Manhattan and [[Queens]], both local and express, including '''QB''' service on the [[Manhattan Bridge]] and '''QT''' service via the [[Montague Street Tunnel]]. From 1988 to 2001, Q service ran along the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]] in Manhattan, with a bullet colored orange. The Q also ran in Queens at various points, including along the [[BMT Astoria Line]] to [[Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard (BMT Astoria Line)|Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard]] on weekdays from 2010 to 2016, along the [[IND Queens Boulevard Line]] to [[Forest Hills–71st Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Forest Hills–71st Avenue]] during temporary post-9/11 service reroutes, and along the [[63rd Street Lines|IND 63rd Street Line]] to [[21st Street–Queensbridge (IND 63rd Street Line)|21st Street–Queensbridge]] until 2001. There was also a '''<Q>''' variant from 2001 to 2004, which ran express on the Brighton Line and terminated at [[Brighton Beach (BMT Brighton Line)|Brighton Beach]] due to construction on the north side of the Manhattan Bridge. On January 1, 2017, the Q was rerouted along the [[Second Avenue Subway]].
==History==
===1878–1920: Original railroad===
The predecessor to the subway service known as the Q today was the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railway. On July 2, 1878, this [[steam railroad]] began operations on what would become the [[BMT Brighton Line]], from [[Prospect Park (BMT Brighton Line)|Prospect Park]] to the Brighton Beach Hotel in [[Brighton Beach]], which opened at the same time. The Brighton Beach Hotel was located on [[Coney Island]] by the [[Atlantic Ocean]] at the foot of modern-day Coney Island Avenue. Passengers could make connections with the [[horsecar]]s of the [[Brooklyn City Railroad]] at the Prospect Park terminal.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zuFSUZqQaiIC&q=brooklyn+flatbush+and+coney+island+railway&pg=PA384 |title=Of Cabbages and Kings County: Agriculture and the Formation of Modern Brooklyn |last1=Linder |first1=Marc |last2=Zacharias |first2=Lawrence S. |date=December 1, 1999 |publisher=University of Iowa Press |isbn=9780877457145 |pages=144 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Cudahy 1999">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=v5eYL7PTP3cC&q=july+2%2C+1878++brooklyn+flatbush+and+coney+island+railway&pg=PA9|title=The Malbone Street Wreck |last=Cudahy |first=Brian J. |date=January 1, 1999 |publisher=[[Fordham University Press]] |isbn=9780823219322|language=en}}</ref>{{Rp|9}}
On August 19, 1878, service was extended north from Prospect Park along what is today the [[BMT Franklin Avenue Line]] used by the [[Franklin Avenue Shuttle]], to Atlantic Avenue west of Franklin Avenue, a location known as <!--Bedford Terminal of the BB&CI and--> Bedford station on what is today the [[Atlantic Branch]] of the [[Long Island Rail Road]] (LIRR).<ref name="Cudahy 1999" />{{Rp|11}} A physical connection existed between the Brighton, Flatbush and Coney Island Railway and the LIRR. By mutual agreement trains of the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railway ran on LIRR trackage west to its terminal at [[Atlantic Terminal|Flatbush Avenue]] and Atlantic Avenue, providing a connection to [[Downtown Brooklyn]] and ferries to Manhattan. LIRR trains also operated to Brighton Beach from Flatbush Avenue and from its own terminal in [[Long Island City]], with ferry access to [[Midtown Manhattan]]. Initially, service operated during the summer season only. At the end of the 1882 summer season, the LIRR abrogated its agreement allowing Brighton Line trains to access its Flatbush Avenue terminal and beginning with the 1883 summer season, only Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island trains operated between Bedford Terminal and Brighton Beach.
In 1896, a short elevated extension of the Brighton Beach Line (since reorganized as the Brooklyn & Brighton Beach Railroad) opened to the corner of [[Franklin Avenue–Fulton Street (New York City Subway)|Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street]] in the north. This extension connected to the [[BMT Fulton Street Line|Fulton Street Line]] of the [[Kings County Elevated Railroad]], allowing [[rapid transit]] trains on Fulton Street to operate along the Brighton Line. These trains ran from Brighton Beach, up the Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street lines to the Brooklyn side of the [[Brooklyn Bridge]], where walking or transferring to a [[cable car (railway)|cable car]] service connection over the bridge allowed access to [[New York City Hall]] at Park Row in Manhattan. In 1900, elevated trains were through-routed to [[Park Row (BMT station)|Park Row]] without need to change trains.<ref name="Derrick 2002">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D4cUCgAAQBAJ&q=brighton+line+brooklyn&pg=PA279|title=Tunneling to the Future: The Story of the Great Subway Expansion That Saved New York|last=Derrick|first=Peter|date=April 1, 2002|publisher=NYU Press|isbn=9780814719541|language=en}}</ref>{{Rp|279}} By 1903, a surface extension of the Brighton Beach Line on what is now Brighton Beach Avenue permitted through service from Park Row, Manhattan west to [[Culver Depot]] at Surf Avenue near West 8th Street, much nearer to the growing amusement center known then as West Brighton and now as Coney Island.<ref name="Cudahy 1999" />{{Rp|21}}

On August 1, 1920, subway service on the [[BMT Brighton Line]], then owned by the [[Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation]] (BMT), officially began with the openings of a two-track underground subway between Prospect Park and [[DeKalb Avenue (BMT Fourth Avenue Line)|DeKalb Avenue]] and the [[Montague Street Tunnel]] between Brooklyn and Manhattan.<ref name="Derrick 2002" />{{Rp|285}}
In 1921, PM rush hour express service was extended from Kings Highway to Brighton Beach. In 1923, Brighton express service operated via the Montague Tunnel and ran local on the Broadway Line. The BMT held a vote to see which route riders preferred on August 30, 1923. Passengers voted to have Brighton expresses run from Brighton Beach to Times Square via the Manhattan Bridge and the express tracks on the Broadway Line. This change took effect on about October 1, 1923. This subway service was labeled 1 by the BMT starting in 1924, with the remnant service to Franklin Avenue becoming the 7. 1 Brighton Express service operated during rush hours and Saturday afternoons. During the evening rush hour and on Saturday afternoons, trains skipped Canal Street.<ref name="Linder 2003">{{Cite journal |last=Linder |first=Bernard |date=May 2003 |title=Brighton Line Schedule Changes |url=https://erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/2000s/2003/2003-05-bulletin.pdf |journal=The New York Division Bulletin |publisher=Electric Railroaders' Association |volume=46 |issue=5 |pages=2–4}}</ref>
The span of express service was extended by 90 minutes until 8:27 p.m. leaving Times Square in 1929. Express service began operating between the AM rush hour and noon on Saturday mornings in April 1930. Express service began operating middays on May 30, 1931, replacing short-line local service. In September 1937, Brighton express service ran between Brighton Beach and Times Square rush hours, middays, and early evenings weekdays and Saturdays.
During the 1930s, limited morning rush hour service ran via the south side tracks of the Manhattan Bridge and the [[Nassau Street Loop]] to [[Chambers Street (BMT Nassau Street Line)|Chambers Street]] on the [[BMT Nassau Street Line]]. On June 29, 1950, trains began running there during the evening rush as well.
On October 17, 1949, the [[BMT Astoria Line|IRT Astoria Line]] in Queens, up to this point operated by the [[Interborough Rapid Transit]] (IRT), was converted to BMT operation. 1 Local trains were extended via the [[60th Street Tunnel]] and the BMT Astoria Line to [[Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard (BMT Astoria Line)|Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard]] during weekday rush hours, and on Saturday mornings and early afternoons. Number 2 [[R (New York City Subway service)|Fourth Avenue Local]] trains also ran here at all times.<ref name="Linder 2005">{{Cite journal |last=Linder |first=Bernard |date=June 2005 |title=Astoria Line |url=https://erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/2000s/2005/2005-06-bulletin.pdf |journal=New York Division Bulletin |publisher=Electric Railroaders' Association |volume=48 |issue=6 |pages=2–4}}</ref>
===1950s===
On April 27, 1950, 1 Local trains were extended to Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard during middays.<ref name="Linder 2005" /> On June 26, 1952, 1 Express trains were extended from Times Square to 57th Street–Seventh Avenue on weekdays after the morning rush hour, running local north of 34th Street. On June 28, 1952, special service from Brighton Beach to the Nassau Street Line was discontinued on Saturdays, and Saturday express service was extended to 57th Street.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1952|title=Notice To Passengers|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/50065955493/in/dateposted/|access-date=July 6, 2020|website=Flickr|publisher=New York City Board of Transportation}}</ref><ref name="Linder 2003" />
The [[60th Street Tunnel Connection]] opened on December 1, 1955, connecting the Broadway Line to the [[IND Queens Boulevard Line]]. 1 Local trains were rerouted to this new connector to [[Forest Hills–71st Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Forest Hills–71st Avenue]] in [[Forest Hills, Queens]] between 6:30 a.m. and 8:20 p.m. They were replaced on the [[BMT Astoria Line]] by 1 Express trains on weekdays.<ref>{{Cite web|date=1955|title=New December 1 Schedules|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/50089691363/in/dateposted/|access-date=July 8, 2020|website=Flickr|publisher=New York City Transit Authority}}</ref> On May 4, 1957, 1 Express trains running started running to Ditmars Boulevard on Saturdays as well,<ref name="Linder 2005" /> but made local stops in Manhattan<ref name="Linder 2003" /> as the local trains in Brooklyn now ran to Chambers Street via the BMT Nassau Street Line. The final portion of the Broadway Line's express tracks, between Times Square–42nd Street and 57th Street–Seventh Avenue, was placed in service on May 2, 1957<!--, and were used at all times by West End and Sea Beach Expresses-->. <!--An interesting aspect of this service was that--> 1 Brighton Express trains ran local in Manhattan on Saturdays while Brighton Locals ran express here during evenings and on Sundays. This lasted only until the next service change. On October 24, 1957, Brighton Local trains ran via the Manhattan Bridge and local in Manhattan, all day on Sundays as well as evenings and midnight hours. Brighton Express 1 service on weekdays began using the express tracks between Times Square–42nd Street and 57th Street–Seventh Avenue.
A December 1957 strike shut down much of the BMT Division. Brighton Local 1 trains ran in two sections, from Coney Island via tunnel to 57th Street-Seventh Avenue and from [[Whitehall Street (BMT Broadway Line)|Whitehall Street]] to [[Jamaica–179th Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Jamaica–179th Street]] on the IND Queens Boulevard Line. Due to the differing unions predominating on the various divisions, the IND was completely knocked out of service, while the IRT ran virtually normal service. The BMT was about half affected, with makeshift service patterns being set up for the duration of the strike.
On May 28, 1959, 1 Brighton Express trains midday on weekdays were cut back to 57th Street–Seventh Avenue and made local stops in Brooklyn midday. Multiple trains entered service at Queensboro Plaza in the evening rush hour.<ref name="Linder 2003" /> Nassau Specials returned, running via the Montague Street tunnel during the morning rush and via the Manhattan Bridge during the evening rush. As part of the same service change, Brighton Local trains, beginning on June 6, ran to Franklin Avenue via the route of the [[Franklin Avenue Shuttle|7 Shuttle]] on Saturdays. This was not seasonal and ran the entire day, being quite distinct from the Sunday service which still operated.

On November 15, 1960, with the arrival of the [[R27 (New York City Subway car)|R27 subway cars]], 1 service on the Brighton Line was relabeled. Brighton Express service was designated as Q, Brighton Local via the Montague St Tunnel as QT, and Brighton Local via the Manhattan Bridge as QB. Single letters were used to refer to express lines and double letters for local lines, a practice that began thirty years earlier with the [[Independent Subway System]] (IND), however, no QQ designation was ever used. <!--However, these designations were not as yet in common usage, and the R27 signs continued to display the old route names. For the above reasons and for the sake of continuity and consistency, these services were referred to by the old route names until the time of the opening of the [[Chrystie Street Connection]]. Moreover, it was deemed more important and informative to indicate how the trains actually operated rather than how the letters were manipulated.--> Despite these new designations, subway communications continued to refer to the services as "Brighton Local" and "Brighton Express".
Effective January 1, 1961, Q Brighton Express service was cut back from Ditmars Boulevard to 57th Street–Seventh Avenue on weekdays, with trains skipping 49th Street.<ref name="Linder 2003" /> Saturday daytime service continued to run to Ditmars Boulevard.<ref name="Flickr.com 1961">{{Cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/25029684135/|title=BMT Riders: Changes In Routes!

The QB provided off-peak service between Coney Island and Astoria, via Brighton Local and the Manhattan Bridge. Sunday service between Franklin Avenue and Brighton Beach was discontinued on this date, with Sunday service now provided solely by the [[Franklin Avenue Shuttle|Franklin Avenue Shuttle (SS, formerly 7)]] between Prospect Park and Fulton Street.
Service between Brighton Beach and Franklin Avenue was merged into the Franklin Avenue Shuttle service on October 14, 1961, and all non-shuttle service between was discontinued in February 1963. The [[R (New York City Subway service)|Fourth Avenue Local (RR)]] now provided Broadway Line service along the Queens Boulevard line on weekdays, and the [[T (New York City Subway service)|West End Express (T)]] was extended from 57th Street to Ditmars Boulevard during rush hours. This service change essentially swapped the northern terminals of the Brighton Local and RR, and between the Brighton Express and T. Prior to this both Brighton Line–Broadway services had operated via the 60th Street Tunnel to Queens. By having the Brighton Express Q terminate at 57th Street, this change served to keep one Brighton Line service unaffected in the event of a massive delay in the 60th Street Tunnel.<ref name="Flickr.com 1961" />
On April 21, 1962, Saturday express Q service was discontinued, and replaced by QB service.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=May 1962 |title=New York City Transit Authority Service Notes |url=https://erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/1960s/1962/1962-05-bulletin.pdf |journal=New York Division Bulletin |publisher=Electric Railroaders' Association |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=2}}</ref> All Saturday trains on the Brighton Line began running local, doubling the frequency of service and providing a one-seat ride to Manhattan for riders at local stations. With the arrival of new subway cars to the line, which provided improved running times, trains making local stops between Brighton Beach and Prospect Park did so in only {{frac|1|1|2}} minutes longer than existing express service.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.laguardiawagnerarchive.lagcc.cuny.edu/pages/FileBrowser.aspx?LinkToFile=FILES_DOC/WAGNER_FILES/06.023.0000.141.1633.PDF#undefined|title=For Immediate Release Sunday, April 19, 1962 #258|date=April 19, 1962|publisher=New York City Transit Authority|access-date=August 28, 2019}}</ref>
<!-- On April 2, 1962, Brighton Locals once again ran as locals on the Brighton Line, as at all other times. -->From February 10 to November 2, 1964, the Brighton Express tracks were closed to permit platform extension work at Newkirk Avenue. [[Skip-stop]] service was instituted along the Brighton Line.

On November 26, 1967, the [[Chrystie Street Connection]] opened, connecting the Brighton Line in Brooklyn to the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]] in Manhattan via the [[Manhattan Bridge]]. The bridge's south side tracks, which formerly connected to the [[BMT Nassau Street Line]], were now connected to the Broadway Line express tracks instead. The bridge's north side tracks, which formerly connected to the Broadway Line, now connected to the Sixth Avenue Line express tracks. Originally, the {{NYCS|D}} running via [[IND Sixth Avenue Line|Sixth Avenue Express]], and the {{NYCS|QJ}} running via [[BMT Nassau Street Line|Nassau Street]] and the [[Montague Street Tunnel]], were to replace all three Q services on the Brighton Line. The Q and QT went out of existence completely, but due to riders' opposition to the expected loss of all Broadway Line service, some QB trains were retained, now running rush hours only in the peak direction between Coney Island and 57th Street via Brighton Local, the Manhattan Bridge, and Broadway Express in Manhattan. The color scheme introduced for subway lines that day included a red QB bullet. A short-lived [[N (New York City Subway service)|NX]] service also provided rush-hour service between Brighton Beach and Coney Island and the Broadway Line, running via the [[BMT Sea Beach Line]] to Manhattan. This service was discontinued on April 15, 1968, after less than five months.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thejoekorner.com/scripted-ticket-display.shtm?http://www.thejoekorner.com/subway-sun/P008486.gif|title=The NX Joins the N...|date=April 1968|website=thejoekorner.com|publisher=New York City Transit Authority|access-date=May 6, 2018}}</ref> The RR replaced Q, QB and QT service to Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard.<ref name="Linder 2005" />
On August 19, 1968, one AM rush hour QB train began running to Ditmars Boulevard. From January 2, 1973, no QB trains ran in service to Ditmars Boulevard, though two trains ran light to Ditmars Boulevard from 57th Street in the AM rush, and one train ran light to 57th Street in the PM rush. On January 19, 1976, morning rush hour QB trains began running in service to Ditmars Boulevard, and most evening rush hour trains entered service at Queensboro Plaza, with only one evening rush hour train running from Coney Island to 57th Street. All but the first QB morning QB trip, which entered RR service, were cut back from Ditmars Boulevard to 57th Street on August 30, 1976. Evening rush hour trains only ran in service between Coney Island and 57th Street. The last PM rush hour QB train started at Ditmars Boulevard, having previously made a trip in RR service. The first two morning rush hour QB trains ran to Ditmars Boulevard as of May 7, 1978, returning in service as RR trains to 36th Street. The last two evening rush hour QB trains entered service at Ditmars Boulevard, with the final trip having previously made an RR trip from 36th Street.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Linder |first=Bernard |date=April 2003 |title=Brighton Line Schedule Changes |url=https://erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/2000s/2003/2003-04-bulletin.pdf |journal=New York Division Bulletin |publisher=Electric Railroaders' Association |volume=46 |issue=4 |pages=2–3}}</ref><ref name="Linder 2005" />
In 1979, the MTA released a revised coloring scheme for subway routes based on trunk line; the QB service was assigned the color sunflower yellow, with black text, because it used the [[BMT Broadway Line]] in Manhattan. It now used a diamond-shaped bullet because it ran rush hours only.<ref name="Hertz-Gothamist">{{cite web | first=Dave | last=Hogarty | url=http://gothamist.com/2007/08/03/michael_hertz_d.php | title=Michael Hertz, Designer of the NYC Subway Map | work=[[Gothamist]] | date=August 3, 2007 | access-date=July 4, 2009 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090818012400/http://gothamist.com/2007/08/03/michael_hertz_d.php | archive-date=August 18, 2009 }}</ref><ref name="color">{{Cite news|url=http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/10/take-the-tomato-to-the-sunflower/|title=Take the Tomato 2 Stops to the Sunflower|last=Grynbaum|first=Michael M.|date=May 10, 2010|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=October 30, 2016}}</ref> On May 5, 1985, the double-letter naming scheme for local services was dropped; the QB was renamed the Q the next day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/27733842265/|title=Hey, What's a "K" Train?|date=1985|website=Flickr.com|publisher=New York City Transit Authority|access-date=June 17, 2016}}</ref><div class="thumb tright">

Starting on April 26, 1986, the Brighton Line's local tracks underwent reconstruction between Prospect Park and [[Newkirk Plaza (BMT Brighton Line)|Newkirk Avenue]], requiring the suspension of express service; at the same time, reconstruction of the [[Manhattan Bridge]] started, which would disrupt subway service until 2004. QB service was discontinued.<ref name="Linder 2005" /> From April 28, 1986 to May 23, 1987, one AM rush hour train from Brighton Beach was extended beyond its normal terminal at 57th Street/Seventh Avenue and terminated at [[Forest Hills – 71st Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Forest Hills – 71st Avenue]].<ref>{{cite journal |title=Sea Beach Line Schedule Changes | author=Bernard Linder |journal=The Bulletin |publisher=Electric Railroaders' Association, Incorporated |volume=44 |issue=4 |page=2 |date=April 2001 |url=https://www.erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/2000s/2001/2001-04-bulletin.pdf |access-date=2024-10-03}}</ref>
The bridge's north side tracks (leading to the Sixth Avenue Line) closed. The Q now ran rush hours between 57th Street–Seventh Avenue and Brighton Beach, using a yellow diamond bullet. Because the Manhattan Bridge's north side tracks closed, the D and Q ran on the bridge's south side tracks, both running via Broadway Express to 57th Street–Seventh Avenue. To substitute for the suspended Brighton Line express service, the Q ran [[skip-stop]] service with the D between Newkirk Avenue and [[Sheepshead Bay (BMT Brighton Line)|Sheepshead Bay]]. D trains served [[Neck Road (BMT Brighton Line)|Neck Road]], [[Avenue M (BMT Brighton Line)|Avenue M]] and [[Avenue H (BMT Brighton Line)|Avenue H]]; the Q skipped those stops, serving [[Avenue U (BMT Brighton Line)|Avenue U]] and [[Avenue J (BMT Brighton Line)|Avenue J]], while both lines served [[Kings Highway (BMT Brighton Line)|Kings Highway]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thejoekorner.com/brochures/index-bmt-ind-1986-details.html|title=Brighton Line Riders: Your Guide To Service Changes On The D Q M During Rehabilitation Work April 26 Through October 26, 1986|date=1986|website=thejoekorner.com|publisher=New York City Transit Authority|access-date=February 8, 2018}}</ref> By 1987, as reconstruction on the Brighton Line progressed, the weekday skip-stop pattern expanded to Prospect Park, with D trains serving [[Beverley Road (BMT Brighton Line)|Beverley Road]] while Q trains served [[Cortelyou Road (BMT Brighton Line)|Cortelyou Road]] and [[Parkside Avenue (BMT Brighton Line)|Parkside Avenue]], with [[Church Avenue (BMT Brighton Line)|Church Avenue]] as a mutual station.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://stewartmader.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1987mta-e1433450745867.jpg|title=May 24, 1987 New York City Subway Map|date=May 24, 1987|website=stewartmader.com|publisher=New York City Transit Authority|access-date=May 6, 2018}}</ref>

==== 1988–2001: Sixth Avenue service ====
On December 11, 1988, the Bridge's north side tracks reopened and the south side tracks closed, and the reconstruction project on the Brighton Line ended. The Q became the weekday Brighton Express to Brighton Beach and was rerouted via the north side of the bridge and the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]] to [[57th Street (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|57th Street–Sixth Avenue]], [[Midtown Manhattan]]. Because it ran on the Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan, the route now used an orange bullet on maps. One AM rush hour train from Brighton Beach terminated at [[168th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line)|168th Street]] in Manhattan instead of 21st Street; this trip last ran on September 28, 1990.<ref name="Linder 2003" />
On October 29, 1989, the [[63rd Street Lines|IND 63rd Street Line]] opened and the B, Q, and [[JFK Express]] were extended to [[21st Street–Queensbridge (IND 63rd Street Line)|21st Street–Queensbridge]] in [[Long Island City, Queens|Long Island City]]. Weekday evening service terminated at [[Broadway–Lafayette Street (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|Broadway–Lafayette Street]] in Manhattan instead of Brooklyn; these trains relayed at [[Second Avenue (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|Second Avenue]] in order to change direction. A special combined {{NYCS|F}}–Q service ran during late nights; in the northbound direction, F trains would operate along its normal route from Coney Island to [[47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center]], then turn into a Q and operate to [[21st Street–Queensbridge (IND 63rd Street Line)|21st Street–Queensbridge]]; in the southbound direction, Q trains would operate from 21st Street to 47th–50th Streets, then turn into an F train and operate along its normal route to Coney Island.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/16569240412/in/album-72157652636594213/|title=October 1989 Map|date=October 1989|work=Flickr|access-date=October 7, 2018|publisher=New York City Transit Authority|language=en-us}}</ref> The weekday evening shuttle was replaced by the B on September 30, 1990.

In January 1991, a reduction of service along the Central Park West corridor to remove excess capacity was proposed. Initially, Q service would operate between [[Inwood–207th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line)|207th Street]] and [[Brighton Beach (BMT Brighton Line)|Brighton Beach]] during weekday rush hours and middays, making express stops along its entire route. The service plan was later amended to eliminate the Q designation and replace it with an orange [[A (New York City Subway service)|A]], assuming the same service pattern that was proposed for the Q. This service change would have been implemented in October 1991, pending approval from the MTA board.<ref>{{cite web |title=1991 Service Capacity Plan |url=http://www.laguardiawagnerarchive.lagcc.cuny.edu/pages/FileBrowser.aspx?LinkToFile=FILES_DOC/QUEENS_FILES/03.012.0231.030147.2.PDF#undefined |publisher=New York City Transit Authority |access-date=September 18, 2024 |pages=197-198 |date=January 4, 1991}}</ref>
On February 6, 1995, Q trains began running local south of Kings Highway due to rehabilitation work on the Brighton Line.<ref name="Linder 2003" /> On April 30, 1995, the north side of the [[Manhattan Bridge]] closed during middays and weekends, in addition to the already-closed south side. During these hours, D service was cut below 34th Street–Herald Square. In its place, the Q ran between Coney Island and 21st Street–Queensbridge, via Brighton Local, the [[Montague Street Tunnel]], Broadway Express (switching between the local and express tracks at [[Canal Street (BMT Broadway Line)|Canal Street]]) and the [[63rd Street Lines|BMT 63rd Street Line]]. Rush hour and evening service was unchanged. On May 1, Q expresses only operated during rush hours and early evening.

On February 22, 1998, construction on the [[63rd Street Lines|IND 63rd Street Line]] cut {{NYCS|B}} and Q service back to 57th Street–Sixth Avenue.
