Some express trains ran to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn via the Joralemon Street Tunnel during rush hours while all other trains terminated at City Hall or the South Ferry outer loop. There was both local and express service with express trains using the express tracks south of 96th Street. Trains ran from Lower Manhattan to the 242nd Street station near Van Cortlandt Park, using what is now the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, 42nd Street Shuttle, and IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line. When the New York City Subway began operation between 19, one of the main service patterns was the West Side Branch, which the modern 1 train uses. The 1 and 9 trains were rerouted after the September 11 attacks in 2001 although they had mostly resumed their normal route by 2002, the 1 train skipped the Cortlandt Street station until 2018. From 1989 to 2005, the 1 ran in a skip-stop service pattern during rush hours, with the 9 providing the complementary skip-stop service on the same route. The express service was discontinued in 1959.

Initially, there were two main service patterns south of 96th Street: a local service to South Ferry in Manhattan, and an express service to Brooklyn. The modern 1 train has always run up to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, but its route below 96th Street has varied through the years. The 1 operates at all times, making all stops between Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street in Riverdale, Bronx and South Ferry in Lower Manhattan. Its route emblem, or "bullet", is colored red, since it uses the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line for its entire route. The 1 Broadway–Seventh Avenue Local is a rapid transit service in the A Division of the New York City Subway.
