My fav part is wen trains switch tracks and wen the train goes over crossed tracks the do. Da dom da do sound is rad and wen it makes sharp turns are awesome wen u hear the stretching sound I don't know I like watching local train service videos rather than Express for some reason 😎😎

I grew up near the Astoria line 36 ave station. lived there 1951-1971. as a kid it was all Standards and D types. Brighton Local, West End Express . in late 1960 saw the first olive Green R-27’s. by the later part of 1964 the R-32’s. trains got new letters with new cars : QT QB T. By summer 65 all of the old cars were gone.

@@146_ChinoMexicano The E trains always gets packed during peak rush hour since more people get off in Lexington Avenue/53 Street. So if the F Express train got permanently connected back to the 53 St route, that would put less congestion on the E trains. The M Local train would be better for the 63 Street route since not as many people get off over at Lexington Avenue/63 Street. Today was the first day the F Express train went back to the 63 Street route and E trains were packed more than usual and it wasn't even a school day so imagine starting tomorrow when there is school how packed the E trains are going to get.

Cool video man! I just love the whole N train route!

This video is beyond cool! I love the night views and the view to 9th Ave. and again into Stillwell Ave. I grew up not far from the Coney Island Yard and as a kid used to be at the window contantly watching the trains going in and out of the yard, as well as the Sea Beach crossing through. Great memories!

Just after Queensboro Plaza, seeing the R train as it merged just inside the tunnel was great. But no horn sounding near the end where the two welders surprised me.

I'm just really glad that all train service didn't get delayed, nor damaged, nor destroyed, nor people got injured in transit system due to 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake that struck NYC on Friday April 5th, 2024. I was so scared and had a heart attack that it shook the entire building i live at, and it might collapse. But glady, it didn't and i felt fine after that. On that day, that was my first time experiencing the earthquake, and I'll never forget about what happened on that day. Definitely the scariest moment I've been through 😨😰

I love your annotations. That's great. I got more details around DeKalb Ave of the tunnels. I know that you are maybe tired of hearing about it, but I love to know how tunnels are redone and rerouted, and what engineering is required to do this. Finally I have a pre 1950's track diagram of the DeKalb in Peter Dougherty's 2024 'Tracks of the New York City Subway'; highly, highly recommended. His new graphics blow my mind; they are in colour, with old, historical track diagrams also. He created in abundance. If you are reading this, Pete, then thanks so much. And thanks to WTAE.
