Broad Street to Jamaica Center via express and skip-stop. I forget which car number this is, but the dynamic brakes are really good on this one, provided there's enough cooled air being supplied to the resistor grids lol. There's even some wheelslip around the 52:00 mark; can you hear it? Enjoy the ride, the lightning, and the rare line up into Broadway Junction =)

    For all those commenting on how old everything looks, try to enjoy how beautiful the infrastructure is too. Sure the system could use a good repair, cleaning and upgrading of inefficient equipment. However, the stations and even sections of the tracks themselves, are full of ornamentation that we only reserve for the most prestigious projects today. And in addition, I guarantee that they managed to do it all at a taxpayer cost that would equal to significantly less than the most utilitarian designs we have come to expect today. Great video!

    Just a tidbit. If you look VERY CAREFULLY on full screen mode, you'll see the switch points move at 20:07, which will put the train on to the express track. About 4 seconds later you see the signals up ahead on the express track turn green, followed a second later by the signals in front of the train turning green, clearing him to proceed.

    24:50 One of the few crossings at grade on the system. Nice action there! The trains veering to the left climb up to what was once the Myrtle Avenue El. Southbound trains could either take this current route, or continue on the abandoned structure you see above. This route is one of the oldest on the system. Past 121st Street, the line remained elevated to around 168th, I believe. That was torn down and the line rerouted to the Jamaica subway. The Eastern Division also cannot accommodate the 75ft train cars, like the R44s, 46s and 68s.

I still go on random train rides; a Metrocard has always been the cheapest form of entertainment for me. That will end in a few years, as I will retire and move to the sunny west, where there aren't any subways, only the occasional Amtrak passenger train. I will miss my subways.

    In fairness you're looking at a route that is notoriously slow. The Z in particular is just a partner to the J in a skip-stop pattern during rush hours that doesn't really accomplish anything other than slowing all the trains down; the similar 9, which was a counterpart to the 1, was eliminated 20 years ago but the Z soldiers on. On top of that, the Williamsburg Bridge has had draconian speed restrictions in place since an accident in 1995. In fact similar restrictions systemwide stemming from that one incident are the main thing that makes speed between stations one of the system's greatest weaknesses.

    What a nostalgic trip for me. Left NYC in '71. If this is the correct train, I remember taking it to Gertz. Those were the days. Especially loved the ancient trains run on the Lexington Ave Line to New Lotts, w/the brake in the passenger cabin. The smell of smoke and heat was always present. They always had overheated seats too. Your butt would fry. Wonder if any of those relics are still around, as I plan on taking my wife from San Francisco there within the year.

    if you saw that little yellow bar at 18:20 lower and dont know what it is, i'll explain. When the signal isn't showing green, that bar, called a trip arm, sticks up a certain height. If a train were to pass that signal, the bar would hit a device on the train called a "trip cock". this trip cock applies the emergency brakes when struck by the trip arm. this system is sort of enforcing a speed limit in a way. in NYC, the trip arm can be on the right or left, depending on the "division". lettered trains have the trip on the left, and numbered trains have it on the right. the trip cock is mounted on the bogie corner, and some rolling stock have a trip cock on both sides. the reason they are painted yellow is for evidence in the case of a train striking it.

    Great video, beautiful quality. The main thing I noticed is how unbelievably slow this train is. The European/UK subways go about 70-80kph between stops and this one never gets above 30. Must be painful to have to commute at this pace.

    Only 24 minutes into the ride and I already can say I love this. It's got everything and some things the Chicago videos don't: major bridge across the river and rain that makes for great visual effects. The signals are easy to spot and to get what's going on. Suggestion *** Not being a New Yorker I would like to see the names of the stops posted on the video like the CTA does. The guy announcing the stops can't be understood, and I like knowing and following where in the city I am. Thanks Fan Railer. I'm going to watch this all the way through. Can you do one with snow?

    The São Paulo metro opened in 1974. The NYC Subway goes back to the 1800s and wasn't centrally planned. Virtually the entire system is ancient and they can't just replace the whole thing, so they have to work within the confines of whatever the 19th century planners came up with.
