|} The line that later became the R was the 's 2, known as the Fourth Avenue (Brooklyn) Line. In its very early days, it used the Manhattan Bridge. The Montague Street Tunnel opened on October 1, 1920, and at that time it took its current shape, running local from Queensboro Plaza to 86th Street (one stop short of its current end at Bay Ridge). The current terminal at Bay Ridge (95th Street) opened on October 31, 1925. Throughout this time, rush-hour specials to Chambers Street on the Nassau Street Line were added and later removed, only to be added again. At one time, including 1931, additional midday service operated local between 57th Street and Whitehall Street. The 2 also used the Nassau Street Loop during rush hours, entering Manhattan via the Manhattan Bridge or Montague Street Tunnel and leaving via the other. On October 17, 1949, the platforms on the Astoria Line had been shaved, and the BMT's Astoria Shuttle was replaced with through service from the Fourth Avenue Line. On January 1, 1961, the Queens end was moved to its current location at Forest Hills, via the 60th Street Tunnel Connection. In winter 1960-1961, letters started to appear on the RR, which was known as Fourth Avenue Local via Tunnel service, from Forest Hills to Bay Ridge, just as the R does now. On November 27, 1967, the day after the Chrystie Street Connection opened, the RR was moved back to Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard on the Astoria Line ( began at Whitehall Street on the RR and used the former route to Forest Hills). The Nassau Street specials were through-routed from Bay Ridge to 168th Street in Jamaica as RJ. Under the first color scheme, RR was colored green and RJ was red. The RJ service only lasted a few months before it was cut back to Chambers Street and renamed as additional RR rush-hour "diamond" service. In 1986, when double letters were eliminated, RR service became R. R service was assigned the color yellow (because it used the Broadway-BMT Line), and special Chambers Street rush-hour service was brown (using the Nassau Street Line). In 1986 or 1987, the special rush-hour service was removed, and the R was moved back to its original route, once again going to Forest Hills, in May 1987. When the IND Archer Avenue Line opened on December 11, 1988, was rerouted along it, and the R was extended to replace the E to 179th Street. This was short-lived, and the R was cut back to Forest Hills in favor of an extension of the , which runs express west of Forest Hills. On September 11, 2001, after the attack on the World Trade Center, the Broadway-BMT Line was damaged, and the R was cut back to run only south of Court Street. On September 17, the R was totally suspended, replaced with an extended .http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/maps/historical/map-2001-09-17.gif R service was brought back, in its current form, on October 28.http://nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/maps/historical/map-2001-10-28.gif
