Editing 42nd Street (Manhattan) (section)

===Subway===
Every [[New York City Subway]] line that crosses 42nd Street has a stop on 42nd Street:<ref name=submap/>
* {{stn|Times Square–42nd Street}} and {{stn|42nd Street–Port Authority Bus Terminal}} ({{NYCS trains|Times Square PABT}})
* {{stn|42nd Street/Fifth Avenue-Bryant Park}} ({{NYCS trains|Bryant Park}})
* {{stn|Grand Central–42nd Street}} ({{NYCS trains|Grand Central}})

There are two subway lines under 42nd Street. The [[42nd Street Shuttle]] ({{NYCS trains|42nd}}) runs under 42nd Street between Broadway/Seventh Avenue ([[Times Square (IRT 42nd Street Shuttle)|Times Square]]) and [[Park Avenue (Manhattan)|Park Avenue]] ([[Grand Central (IRT 42nd Street Shuttle)|Grand Central]]). The [[IRT Flushing Line]] ({{NYCS trains|Flushing}}) curves from [[Eleventh Avenue (Manhattan)|Eleventh Avenue]] to 41st Street, under which it runs until [[Fifth Avenue]]; shifts to 42nd Street between Fifth and [[Madison Avenue]]s; and continues under the [[East River]] to [[Queens]]. Each line stops at Times Square and Grand Central, though the [[Fifth Avenue (IRT Flushing Line)|Fifth Avenue]] station is also served by the {{NYCS trains|Flushing|time=nolink}}.<ref name=submap>{{NYCS const|map}}</ref>

In the past, every former IRT elevated line had a station at 42nd Street:
* [[42nd Street station (IRT Second Avenue Line)|42nd Street]] on the [[IRT Second Avenue Line]]
* [[42nd Street station (IRT Third Avenue Line)|42nd Street]] on the [[IRT Third Avenue Line]]
* [[42nd Street station (IRT Sixth Avenue Line)|42nd Street]] on the [[IRT Sixth Avenue Line]]
* [[42nd Street station (IRT Ninth Avenue Line)|42nd Street]] on the [[IRT Ninth Avenue Line]]

A [[Grand Central station (IRT 42nd Street Branch)|fifth station]] extended over 42nd Street as a western spur from the Third Avenue Line to [[Grand Central Depot]], later Grand Central Station, and finally Grand Central Terminal.
