What subway gets you from Lafayette Street to Penn Station?
You can take the Uptown B-D-F-M (the orange line) from Broadway-Lafayette Street (at Houston Street) to West 4th Street.
Transfer at West 4th Street to the Uptown A-C-E (the blue line) to 34th Street-Penn Station.
Note that the Broadway-Lafayette Station is technically located at Houston Street between Broadway and Crosby Street, not Broadway and Lafayette Street. Crosby Street runs between Broadway and Lafayette Streets, but the station is called the Broadway-Lafayette Station because both Broadway and Lafayette are major streets, while Crosby is a minor street.
If you are coming from further south on Lafayette Street, then take the Uptown N, R or Q trains (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line) from the Canal Street Station (at Centre Street, which is one block east of Lafayette Street) to 42nd Street-Times Square.
Transfer at Times Square to the Downtown 1-2-3 (the red line) one stop to 34th Street-Penn Station.

The closest subway stop is the Spring Street Station, on the 6 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line). Take the 6 train to Spring Street. You will exit the subway at the intersection of Spring and Lafayette Streets. Actually, at Spring Street, Centre Street splits off of Lafayette Street, so you will be at the 3-way intersection of Spring, Lafayette and Centre Streets.
Walk two blocks south on Lafayette Street to Broome Street (Spring Street ---> Kenmare Street ---> Broome Street). Make a right onto Broome Street, and walk one block west to the corner of Broome and Crosby Streets, where 430 Broome Street is.

How far is Manhattan from Grand Central Station NY?

What is the name of the New York City subway?
The first "subway" lines in NYC were in fact elevated lines. In Manhattan, these ran along 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 9th Aves. None of these elevated lines exist anymore; the last of them were torn down in the 1950's or so.
The first true underground subway (aside from a few short experimental lines) that exists to this day was the original IRT line in Manhattan, which ran from City Hall (the current 4/5/6 station) up to Grand Central, then west across 42nd St to Times Square (using what are now the tracks for the Times Square - Grand Central Shuttle), then north (on the current 1/2/3 line) to 145th St and Broadway. This line first opened in 1904 and was operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit company, and in the next few years this line was gradually extended northward.
Later on, the track connections at 42nd St were mostly severed, and both north-south lines extended into the "H" configuration that exists today. Extensions were also added into the Bronx and Brooklyn, and the (7) line was built in the so-called "Dual Contracts" era where subway service was provided by the IRT company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit / Brooklyn Manhattan Transit (BRT / BMT) company, before the operations of both were taken over and unified by the city.
One track connection still remains between the Times Square-Grand Central Shuttle and the uptown (1) track just north of Times Square - you can see this looking out the right-hand side of an uptown (1) train after it leaves Times Square, or at the extreme west end of the Times Square Shuttle station - there is a segment of the platform which is hinged so it can be lifted, and underneath it is a track extension from the shuttle to the uptown (1) line. It's not used for revenue service, but only occasionally in order to move cars from one line to the other.
The speed of a train will depend on a wide variety of factors from the type of train, age of train, how the train is being powered, what the train is hauling....etc.
The fastest recorded speed to date was 575 km/h (357 mph) set by a French TGV train in February 2007.

What train do you take to 1260 1278 60th Street Brooklyn NY 11219 coming from South Ferry?
The fastest way would be to take the Uptown R train (of the N-R-Q, the yellow line) from Whitehall Street-South Ferry to Canal Street. Transfer at Canal Street to the Downtown N train, and take the Downtown N to New Utrecht Avenue-62nd Street.
But the R does not run from 11 PM to 5:30 AM, so if you are traveling during those times, you will have to take a different route. Instead, take the Uptown 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line) to 42nd Street-Times Square. Transfer at Times Square to the Downtown N train to New Utrecht Avenue-62nd Street.
You will get off the subway on New Utrecht Avenue. Walk two blocks north on New Utrecht Avenue until you get to 60th Street. Turn left and walk west on 60th Street. Your destination is on the next block, between 13th and 12th Avenues.
Which train do you take from Penn Station to 77th Street and Lexington Avenue?
Take either the Uptown A-C-E* (the blue line) or the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line), one stop, from Penn Station (West 34th Street) to Times Square (West 42nd Street).
At the Times Square Station, transfer to the S shuttle train (color code grey), east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central (East 42nd).
At Grand Central, transfer to the Uptown 6 train to 77th Street. You will exit the subway on 77th Street and Lexington Avenue.
*Note that the 42nd Street stop on the A-C-E is actually not Times Square. Since the A-C-E runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station is at 7th Avenue, the 42nd Street stop on the A-C-E is actually 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal. BUT, there is an underground tunnel connecting the A-C-E to the Times Square Station, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.
So, it is preferable to take the Uptown 1-2-3 from Penn Station to Times Square, rather than the Uptown A-C-E, to save yourself the walk through the tunnel. But if you can't find the 1-2-3, or if the A-C-E happens to be right there when you get off your train at Penn Station, you can take it.
What subway do you take from Times Square to Yankee Stadium?
Take the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd).
At Grand Central Station, transfer to the Uptown 4 train, and take the 4 to 161st Street-Yankee Stadium.
What train do you take from Penn Station to 4seventh Street and seventh Avenue?
Since the eastern entrance to Penn Station is located on 7th Avenue, the distance is zero. However, the answer is deceiving because Penn Station is massive. It spans between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue (the equivalent of 4 city streets), from east to west, and between 31st Street and 33rd Street from south to north. So, yes, it is true that the entrance to Penn Station is situated directly on 7th Ave. But, once inside, one might find himself walking several city blocks to get to the actual departure platform for his train or vice versa, from his train to 7th Ave.
