List of New York City Subway services

"Railroad" directions on the NYC subway

All New York City subway lines are presumed to run north or south, no matter what compass direction the actual line takes, so there are no "east terminals" or "west terminals." This designation of "railroad directions" is commonplace on American railroads.

For most lines, "railroad notth" and "railroad south" on the New York takes line in the approximate same compass direction. However, on some lines where the compass direction isn't evident, "railroad north" means towards Manhattan and "railroad south" away from Manhattan.
