The New York City Transit Authority operates a total of 24 rail yards for the New York City Subway system. There are 10 active A Division yards (excluding one yard that has been demolished), 11 active B Division yards, two shared yards, one yard for the Staten Island Railway, and two non-revenue yards. Of these yards, are assigned to seven A Division yards and seven B Division yards. Within the yards are 14 maintenance and cleaning facilities, and two yards (207th Street and Coney Island) perform heavy maintenance and overhaul.
The A Division's yards consist of the 240th Street, 239th Street, Livonia, Jerome, East 180th Street, Pelham and Corona maintenance yards, plus three other non-maintenance storage yards. A total of 2892 cars are assigned to the seven maintenance yards.
The 137th Street Yard is an underground rail yard located just north of 137th Street–City College on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, hence the yard's name. The yard has 6 tracks surrounding the 3 mainline tracks. 3 tracks are to the west of the line (downtown side) and 2 tracks are to the east (uptown side). The yard is used to store some 1 trains outside of rush hours. Each track can hold 2 full-length trains, so a total of 12 trains can be stored there at any given time.
