The IRT Nostrand Avenue Line is a rapid transit line of the IRT division of the New York City Subway, and is served by the 2 at all times, joined by the 5 trains on weekdays, running under Nostrand Avenue in the New York City Borough of Brooklyn.

The two tracks split off from the local tracks of IRT Eastern Parkway Line, diverge away in the vicinity of Rogers Avenue, turning south onto Nostrand Avenue to/from the Nostrand Avenue Line. It serves the neighborhoods of southern Crown Heights, Wingate, Flatbush, East Flatbush, and the Brooklyn College area.

The stations on this line opened August 23, 1920 as part of the Dual Contracts. It was to be extended in 1951 as part of a Transportation Bond Act to serve Marine Park and Sheepshead Bay, however this did not occur.[1][2]
