D (New York City Subway Service)
The D Sixth Avenue Express is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. It is colored bright orange on route signs, station signs, and the official subway map, since it uses the IND Sixth Avenue Line through Manhattan.
The D service operates at all times between 205th Street in Norwood, Bronx, and Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn via Concourse in the Bronx, Eighth Avenue (under Central Park West) and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, and the north side of the Manhattan Bridge to and from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, D service operates via the BMT Fourth Avenue and West End lines. It is the only B Division service to operate full-time in the Bronx.
At all times, the D operates express in Manhattan and local on the West End Line. It operates local in the Bronx at all times except rush hours when it runs express in peak direction only (mornings to Manhattan, afternoon and early evening from Manhattan). In Brooklyn, D trains bypass DeKalb Avenue and operate express along Fourth Avenue at all times except late nights when they stop at DeKalb Avenue and operate local.

“Rome, like Washington, is small enough, quiet enough, for strong personal intimacies; Rome, like Washington, has its democratic court and its entourage of diplomatic circle; Rome, like Washington, gives you plenty of time and plenty of sunlight. In New York we have annihilated both.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town;”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
“In New York—whose subway trains in particular have been “tattooed” with a brio and an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame—not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements.... Even the most chronically dispossessed appear prepared to endorse the legitimacy of the “haves.””
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. “Cleaning and Cleansing,” Myths and Memories (1986)
