 At one time it ran to South Ferry. Due to lack of information this site will not cover the South Ferry portion of this line.  Any station information on the 129^th Street to Chatham Square section is appreciated. The reason most commonly given was excess capacity due to the planned Second Avenue Subway (still not built) and a desire to rid Manhattan of Elevated trains.
