Shortest distance between signals	2704/J - 2704A/J at 138-Grand Concourse
Last of its kind	SERIES sign on outer (A) loop north of South Ferry
Most misleading sign/mosaic	Recently covered-up mosaic reading "Jamaica and Rockaway" at the 65th Street station. They tried building a line to the Rockaways; that died. They tried covering the signs up with paint. That didn't work. What else to do but cover them up?
Useless Signs	There's a  7  sign at the 71-Continental Avenue station on track D1. Here's a picture There's another sign like this further down the track at the 65th Street station, and a third at the Nassau Avenue station on the line. Also, there used to be a  3  sign at the DeKalb Avenue station in Downtown Brooklyn on track A1.

Longest in Regular Service (# of Cars)	11
Longest in Regular Service (Total train length)	665.5 feet (11 cars).
Shortest in Regular Service (# of Cars)	2 on the Franklin Avenue Shuttle
Shortest in Regular Service (Total train length)	150 feet.
Fastest speed on a regular service train	This one is tough to nail down. The fastest train I (the author) was on went 62 MPH in the 60th Street tunnel on a southbound train of R68A cars. Here's a little tip: If your train goes faster than, say, 63 MPH, it could be the fastest.
Most Complicated Junction/Interlocking	This could arguably belong to the Stillwell Avenue Interlocking in Coney Island. Eight tracks becoming four, then crossovers. Others would say it's north of East 180th Street in The Bronx with its numerous double-slip switches and two lines meeting north of the station, combined with yard leads and storage tracks. I would have to say it's East 180th Street.
Sharpest curve	Another category with many different opinions. Some saying the turn on the entering the 149th Street station, or the City Hall Loop (used by the ), or B2 track leaving City Hall (). Then there's the run between Crescent Street and Cypress Hills on the . This is the one I would agree with.
Largest Yard	Coney Island Yard in Brooklyn. At 75 acres, it is North America's largest rapid transit yard, and one of the largest rail (rapid transit or other) yards in North America. It serves the , , , and Franklin Av Shuttle lines. It also has layup yards for the and lines, too. Sometimes you can even see a few Redbirds (or R62A's) from the line here, too.
