The New York City Transit IND Culver Line through Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood hosts both F and G Line trains. The G Brooklyn-Queens Crosstown line is an 11.4-mile-long (18.3 km) rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway. Its route emblem, or "bullet", is colored light green since it uses the IND Crosstown Line. The G operates between Court Square in Long Island City, Queens, and Church Avenue in Kensington, Brooklyn, making local stops along its entire route. The G is the only non-shuttle service in the system that does not serve Manhattan. Ironically, perhaps, the lower Manhattan skyline dominates the background as a southbound G Line train, consisting of four Westinghouse-built R86 cars (constructed in the mid-80s) arrives at the Smith-9th Streets Station in the dusky half-light of the afternoon rush hour in very late autumn.
