    That wasn't original. The spur the R takes was one of the first connections built from the BMT to the IND when the city took over everything. Originally, you could only go outside and up to Queensborough Plaza.

    At 29:22, one of the most obscure bits of trivia in the system. That "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" alcove to the right, just before the double crossover, was the old BMT revenue train collector access door that led into the tunnels beneath the old NYCTA Headquarters building at 370 Jay St. From there, several passageways and a secured elevator led to a then-secret counting room on the second floor. There are similar doors in tunnel walls of the IRT and the IND (a similar roll door inside the southbound local track wall in the Jay St. station is the IND's). A fleet of 8 collector trains operated to pickup money from every station, and to deliver bags of tokens to the booths before the token went away forever. The so-called "Money Trains" stopped operating in 2006 and 370 Jay St. now belongs to NYU.

    Thank you for capturing this! Brings back memories of the times I rode the R on a R-32 consist. One thing I love about having that chance was seeing how many bellmouths along the line are and future subway extensions that never took place such as at 74th-Roosevelt. The other thing that this video brings back memories of is when the M used to run down to Bay Parkway on weekday rush hours. My high school was off the M and I’d sometimes take it to downtown Brooklyn after school. I always thought it was cool how they had the R and M share the Montague Street tunnels.

    City Hall station is a two level station. It was originally intended to terminate Manhattan local trains on the upper level and through-run Brooklyn trains from the bottom level. The terminating local station plan was scrapped very early on in favor of the upper level being used as a normal through-running station. In order to facilitate this change a ramp was constructed that drops to the level of the lower level tracks south of the station and aligns with the level of the tracks through the sharp reverse curve tunnel under Vesey St. The lower level is only used as a train storage lay-up.

    33:20 The junction here leads to Broad St on the Nassau St Line which is the current terminus for the J and Z trains which terminate using a pair of storage tracks south of the station. It was last used by the M train in 2010 before it was rerouted to Sixth Ave and since then, this connection was not used in regular service. This connection is probably why Whitehall St has a center platform, to reduce the number of Broadway local trains heading towards Brooklyn because they can short-turn (as the W currently does) since Nassau St local trains would merge and there’s limited capacity (and also probably why there are storage tracks south of Broad St. It is also one of only two connections between B-division lines with different platform lengths (excluding the Franklin Ave Line), the other being the Chrystie St Connection which is currently used by the M. Currently, it is unknown if this connection between Broad St and Court St will ever be used again in regular service. Finally, unlike the IRT and IND lines, the BMT lines were originally designed to allow express trains to short-turn and allow the locals to continue to Brooklyn instead of vice-versa, which is evident by the abandoned lower level at City Hall before the express tracks were diverged onto the Manhattan Bridge at Canal St and the 4-track Nassau St Line only using its southbound pair of tracks for each direction but having the express tracks end at Chambers St layout-wise. After that, the locals would continue into Brooklyn and merge with each other but each line’s last stop before merging has a way to short-turn some trains. The actual layout is visible on Vanshnookenraggen’s track map. However, service patterns don’t need to be in accordance with what the track layouts were designed for, since it’s based on ridership.

    Hi to 'Welcome To An Experience" - the very first thing I noticed right away in your new R-Train to Forest Hills Front-View video here, is the nearly complete lack of shaking of your camera as the train it's mounted to passes through switches and other rough stretches of track. Am I mistaken, or have you mounted your camera on a gimbal which compensates for the train's motion, keeping your camera rock steady? Yet another very cool thing I've noticed here is you appear to have done something to prevent the rush of wind into your camera's microphone when a train is running at full speed from muffling and blurring the sound! Both of these changes are, in my opinion, huge improvements to what have already been your wonderful front-of-train videos of New York City's marvelous and fascinatingly complex subway system. In any event, you continue to impress me (as I'm sure you are most of your other viewers) with the continual improvements you've made in recent months in how you present your videos, the added graphics showing each line's route stop-by-stop, etc. All-told, really nicely done - you get my hearty thanks and praise for the high-quality videos you're giving us here. Bravissimo!

    This was why the IND queens bvld line is such a fascinating line. Around 1:16:45 looks like the bellmouth for the IND windfield spur that would've served central queens, 1:20:03 looks like another bellmouth to make woodhaven station a express stop, and 1:22:56 looks like yet another provision to build towards the rockaway beach line to get to the rockaways. Always wondered when I was kid looking from the E and F train windows as to why the IND decided to build these awkward eyesore spaces that had been covered in graffiti after decades of wear. The IND was up to extending lines to central queens back in Hyland's and La Guardia's time. Nowadays, its a transit desert now. Hopefully the IBX and QueensLink brings service in those areas and somewhat lives up to some of the proposals of the IND second system. Only time, priorities, politics and economics will tell.

    Just after leaving Courtlandt Street at 37:30 there is a sharp right hand curve which goes beneath a portion of the graveyard at St Paul's Chapel. You are going under graves. Rest in peace does not apply to those souls, although I guess they are used to the rumble of trains underneath.

    The Vesey St tunnel does not travel under the graveyard. The tunnel slightly cuts the northwest corner of the cemetery, travels directly under Vesey and then cuts the corner onto Broadway under what used to be the old Astor House hotel. The IND Eighth Av Line (A)(C) on the other hand seems like it would be unavoidable not to be directly below some of those grave markers as it turns from Church onto Fulton.

    Your mileages between stations are off, usually short. In Manhattan 20 blocks is a miles. So from 23rd street to 28 street is a 1/4 of a mile. That's 0.25. From 34th street to 42nd street is 8 blocks. That's 4/10's of a mile or 0.4 not the 0.3 you use in your graphic.

    As described in my 2024 book ("Tracks of the NYC Subway"), "Fourth Avenue, and subway tracks F1 & F2 below it, cross a fully-enclosed bridge over top of the New York & Atlantic Bay Ridge Branch, roughly where X-304 is depicted above the Bay Ridge Ave. station. This bridge has four trackways, two of which were provisions for eventually making the line to 86th St. a four track line. "The unused trackways exist on the east side of the bridge, but do not extend under Fourth Avenue itself. The existing 86th St. station would have been the “southbound” half of an express station. The existing two northbound platforms at 77th St. and Bay Ridge Ave. are built on columns, which would have been the trackways for the two additional tracks."

I lived in New York and I was a kid in the early 70s boy the subways were so different back then I remembered the cars being green if I'm not mistaken. Anyways, I'm wondering if you could take a request whenever you get a chance I would appreciate a video of the fastestexpress subway train front view ride. I think I heard that it's from one of the boroughs in into Manhattan perhaps queens not sure but I'd love to see that and go for a ride.
