Which it did in 2004. But prior to that when it was a full shuttle from 57th and 6th to Grand it did not! I don't know where it switched back over, But I rode that train to W4 to get to school, And it was always on the wall. |

Back in the 80's the shuttle did "wrong rail" through Broadway/Lafayette, usually on the uptown track. There are no switches which allow any other type of service between W4th and Grand (bad design). |
