The best short Train ride ever on KZread. : )

Thanks for sharing! Such a simple yet scenic trip. And this video shows the clearest view of the turn into the tunnel where the Malboure Street accident occured.

Malbone St. wreck. Horrible

The scenery on this route is very beautiful. The view must be pretty nice as well.

Brighton Beach Line and Franklin Ave Branch are both some of the best looking parts of the subway..Along with the Fushing Line, Drye Ave Line, and Crosstown Viaduct.

Yes, beautiful view of piles of garbage and graffiti. If you think this is "beautiful" you are part of what's wrong with NYC.

Great as always! The MTA wanted to have the line demolished but thanks to community opposition the was rebuilt in 1999 to its current state. Can you do one on the M train from Forest Hills to Metropolitan Avenue. That would be great.

I guess the b48 bus would be the alternative to this? Also I think the S shuttle should be extended to Lafayette to connect to the G which would allow better connection for south Brooklyn residents to go to Queens

I wish they never took down the NYWB tracks between E 180th St and Hunts Point Av and made it into an S train. Would have been great to have that connection between the 2, 5 trains and the 6 train.

The company went bankrupt in the 30's. The line was deconstructed from White Plains to Dyre Ave and from 132nd street to 180th. Most of the land and ROW was taken by construction of highways and developments. The tracks had stood for over 80 years before they were torn down. They had become an eyesore and no longer served any purpose.

Great Video NYC Subways Keep Up The Good Video

Great line 👍

I worked this line twice. So a lot of ping ponging in between Prospect Park and Franklin Ave-Fulton Street. It's one of the very few isolated parts of the subway that really feels like a branch line

Thanks!

Perfect work on this video Welcome To An Experience! What would you do next?

Many years ago as a kid during the late 1960s I used to watch the old R34 (rebuilt R11) trains run on the Franklin Ave shuttle. Remnants of the old Fulton el can be seen at the Fulton St terminal at that time.

Great Ride

A very enjoyable short-run subway ride. Thanks.

This is very beautiful line of subway, short and relax.

Thank you as always!!! You have covered almost of all of the system and we keep wanting more!!! Great watching your videos and matching to Peter Dougherty's annual book, Tracks of the NYC Subway. So cool!!!

Short and sweet. You can see where the right-of-way for the second track on the northern part used to be. And at 6:00 you can see the infamous curve on the right where the Malbone Street wreck occurred in 1918.

Beautiful ride thru crown heights, fun fact: this route was fully 2 tracked back then and had a dean st stop. In my opinion they should have this line 2 tracked and trenched like the Brighton line and run it thru Franklin av connecting it with the Crosstown line (G) going to queens 🤔

Can you do a video of the 5 train heading downtown so I can see when it splits away from the 2 train at 149st and grand concourse.

Has it been awhile since the termination is on the Prospect Park northbound track ( > Manhattan) vs. having the layup between PP and Parkside (southbound)?

Interesting tidbit: one of the changes that came about from the Malbone wreck is that all third rails have covers over them….even in the tunnels. Some straphangers survived the initial crash in the Malbone tunnel, just to be accidentally electrocuted by the then exposed third rail while attempting to escape the wreckage.

This line was full two tracks from end to end until it was "upgraded.". They also ripped out Dean Street. Going further back, before it was a shuttle, after Franklin Avenue at its northern end, it swung West and merged into the Fulton El. So, one could go up the Brighton line, onto this line and then into Manhattan. The BMT's Eastern Division was gutted like a fish. Shame. 5:50 Just inside the portal to the right is the site of the Malbone Street wreck, which was the worst subway accident in New York City history. The trains normally switch left, but, sometimes, if they're doing work, they'll use the right track, which puts you on the Southbound local track at Prospect. The Malbone train never made it.

Are you a former MTA Employee because how do you do this? Like this is awesome!

When the train switches to the Botanical Garden stop, if you look to the right [6:01], the tunnel is where the notorious Malbone Street wreck took place on Nov.1, 1918 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbone_Street_wreck

Hey can you please do 5 train to Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn College please

They should extend the S shuttle up Franklin to Lafayette to connect to the G for even better connections to queens since B/Q riders have poor connections to the G train

Just curious, as an Aussie Subway lover, where do they transfer cars, for maintenance etc? Is it that spur to the right, just before the last stop?

The track where the train terminates in the video conjoins with the BQ brighton line and thus has access to both the other platform via track switching as well as access to the Coney Island Overhaul Shop when necessary. I think that adjacent tunnel might have a connection to that other platform as well but I'm also sure that's the largely defunct Malbone Street tunnel, infamous for one of the worst derailments of the early 20th century

This map gives you a good idea of how the train can keep going through the station to the Coney Island Yard As you may not be familiar with the area, the easiest way to find this route on said map is to start at the southern tip of Manhattan (left side) and follow the Green 4/5 line east until it intersects with the gray “S” line. www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/docs/NYC_full_trackmap.pdf

If they haven’t done it already, the 42nd St Shuttle only takes about 90 seconds. Heck, a video that showed both directions on both tracks would still come in at about 6 minutes

Can you please do a 2 train to Flatbush When you get the chance to. Also Do you get to choose what line you operate? Please let me know By replying to this comment.
