Editing IRT Flushing Line (section)

===Distinctions===
The Flushing Line is one of only two New York City non-[[S (New York City Subway service)|shuttle]] subway lines that hosts only a single service and does not share operating trackage with any other line or service; the other is the [[BMT Canarsie Line]], carrying the {{NYCS|L}} train. Because of this, the MTA is [[Signaling of the New York City Subway#Automation|automating the line]] with new trains using [[communication-based train control]] (CBTC), similar to the Canarsie Line (see {{Section link||Automation of the line}}).<ref name=page11/>

The IRT Flushing Line's 7 service has the distinction of running trains with the largest number of cars in the New York City Subway. 7 trains are eleven cars long; most other New York City Subway services run ten or eight-car trains. The trains are not the longest by total length, however. An IND/BMT train of ten {{convert|60|ft|adj=on}}-long cars or eight {{convert|75|ft|adj=on}}-long cars, which is {{convert|600|ft}} long, is still {{convert|35|ft|m}} longer than an IRT train of eleven {{convert|51.4|ft|adj=on}}-long cars, which is {{convert|565|ft}} long.<ref name="tracks" />
