    Sometimes when I ride the 2 train to Wakefield 241 street and stopping at Gun hill road it reminds me of the old 8 3rd Avenue Elevated line coming in and out of Gun hill road 🛣️ . Alots of people are missing the old 8 3rd Avenue Elevated line. It's not the same anymore with out the 8 3rd Avenue Elevated line. Nothing cannot replace or take over the 3rd Avenue Elevated line anymore. No matter how much they run buses over there.

    At 14:35, there is a building on the left (now housing a "Dollar General") that my dad had a business in during the 1950s. He sometimes took me into work with him on Saturdays, and as a little kid, I'd stand in the doorway and watch the trains go by overhead. Some were Lo-V trains just like this one! (I recognized them by their fishbelly silhouettes and whiney motors). To think that, 65 years later, the same type of train went by on the same structure! Thanks for the video!

    Wonderful......I love the sounds of the Lo-V cars in the tunnels. For years I traveled up to New York City during the Christmas Holiday Season to ride on the vintage subway trains. Sadly, I'm old, ill, disabled and home-bound now and my days of riding the vintage subway trains are over. This video was especially enjoyable to me. Thank you. Maybe somebody could explain to me why this non-stop special run never caught up to a regular service train. What was the fare for this special run? Also, where was the starting and dropping off station for the passengers?

    Jeff, I'm an old timer too, and enjoy these runs. I'm guessing that this train was slow enough so that it would not catch up to any regular revenue trains. Just a guess. I used to ride these old IRT trains too, and remember the sound they make.
