Description:

Line 2 in New York's subway (the Brooklyn line with the Flatbush branch line, part of the West Side line with the Brooklyn branch line, and finally the White Plains line, all former IRT), for the subway train class R142 or class R36 Redbird. The line begins at Flatbush Avenue/Brooklyn College in Brooklyn and goes through, among other stations, Times Square/42nd Street on Manhattan, there this simulation ends, to Wakefield/241st Street in Bronx. A simulation of the line all the way has years ago been heard of, but nothing further is known about that now. Detailed stations! Plenty of trackside signs and signals (with correct signal numbers). Soft curves and realistic switches, and also announcements of all stations and connections.

Misc.:

The timetable for this version of line 2 for BVE is not according to real life. Because of that you will be late to those stations for which times are entered in the simulation's timetable. If you keep up with the real world timetable, you will in the simulation be late to the different stations according to the table below:

Station	Delay
Franklin Avenue	2--3 min.
Nevins Street	5--6 min.
Chambers Street	9--11 min.
14th Street	9--12 min.
Times Square/42nd Street	9--13 min.

Works with OpenBVE.
