Template:NYCS logo Template:NYCS logo The 7 Flushing Local is a service of the New York City Subway, running local service along the full length of the Template:IRT Flushing Line, with express service (7 Flushing Express) denoted by a diamond-shaped 7 train logo rather than a circular one. The express service runs in the peak direction (to Times Square during mornings, to Flushing-Main Street during evenings) between 06:30 and 22:00 on weekdays. The service is colored purple on official maps and signage and is the only route on the Flushing Line. This route is the only in the system to run 11 car trains; these are the longest trains on the Template:IRT. Odd train lengths are rare, as cars are typically produced and operated in pairs.
