I can’t believe local trains were running on different tracks. You did a nice job of recording Metro North Railroad and Amtrak trains. I love the M7A’s, M3A’s, Diesels, and Amtraks.😅

Indeed, the Silverliner 4's are trash. What is your take on the possible extension of the BSL years down the road? Would be a great video if you made one on it. Also, your regional rail videos are 🔥

What does CP mean?

A couple of comments... 1. Your forgot to mention when at Union Turnpike Station that it used to have an entrance off Union Tpke both EB and WB that was outside the Jackie Robinson fka Interboro Parkway.. As a kid, I would sometimes get dropped off there by my dad driving into his business to ride the subway into Manhattan for things.. Same also as a pickup at night when I could get picked up as he came out from East NY where the business was.. 2. Also did you miss E train stop at 49th and 8th where the old MSG was?? I always found it interesting that they had signage for years after the current MSG opened there after the old building was knocked down.

Great video again Tim. I love seeing those GP40s!

Thank you for featuring the ride with pride train with not just video but photos too

Thanks for another great video. Interesting about the Alstom and Siemens sounds. I've been wondering especially about the "stepped" pitch change. Is this the motors or some ancillary equipment feeding them? That screeching is bad enough outside but sounds intolerable in the subway. The old cars are so quiet in comparison. How can a "newer and better" design that makes such a racket be acceptable? Interesting topic and video!

R160 > R179 and R211

Is Roosevelt Island Station underground or under the river?

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the (J) and (Z) Trains stop there (Suphern Blvd) too?

I was on the E yesterday afternoon!

I used to ride the E train to Kew Gardens and transfer to the Q10 bus toJFK. Neat express ride in Queens!

The first Arch Oboler reference in the new year, don’t think most of the kids will get that!

Thoroughly enjoyed this, especially learning about the different cars. Thank you!

Thank you for commenting a lot on the R160B Siemens, they're my favorite NYCT Rolling Stock.

I wished that SEPTA kept the Market Frankford line the same gauge as the Broad Street, but SEPTA is weird transportation agency. We could have had a Broad Street interchange with Market Frankford at 30th street.

Years ago I was told a story before this station was built in the '70s opened in the 80s they were going to expand the e train to south ozone park some how come up go outside alongside the lirr

after my birthday...

As a musician, I love the jumps up a 7th from G to F, then again up to E, then a 2nd to F#, then back to E on the Alstom traction motors.

They need to use the accordion cards since it's so much going on in the train system on the c train The trains where you can go all the way through without opening a door so you could see in the next car that would be safer to put more of those on there you wouldn't have sick individuals doing things as much

I thought they put a cars on the g line some time ago The guy in the front of the train was smiling for you giving you a hang signal

That e train might go express all the way unless there's something in front of it but it may not stop at the local stations

You know you're railroad they used to be an RR train too right have you been all over the system on the subway

Oh you went back to Roosevelt to transfer to the e train for Queens plaza

I think im best off watching your videos rather than going to Nyc myself because it seems confusing when it comes to subway.

You might have had in your mind that you wanted to go to the 63rd Street tunnel and check out the Roosevelt queensbridge and 63rd station

The E recently got R179s due to a problem with the wheels on the R160s. No clue if and when they will return to the E

Awesome content brother 👏 one of the best

On a scale of 1 to 10, how was the pee/poop smell?😅

Recently, most of the R160s have been taken out of service due to flat wheels, so for now, the G has SMEEs again cause the E,F, and R are using the 160s from it. When it comes to the R179s, the E has 2 sets, and the F and M have one set. All to test CBTC on the 179s.

You’ve fanned my favorite subway line and favorite equipment 💯🔥

Have you ever railfanned at Grand Central Station in NYC?

💕💕So I have family relatives that live near Middletown, NY Station probably 10 min car ride from the station and every Summer I visit up there only during the Summer season and I take the Express Train Port Jervis Line from Hoboken Station and I enjoy watching the sight seeing from the Train ride specially during the Summer so fun up there and I go also up to the Outlets for shopping💕💕

Thanks for a very interesting video! I had zero knowledge of these two lines. I lived near and commuted by two different electrified NJT lines. The idea of commuting south to New York seems like such a foreign concept to me. Plus riding behind (or in front of) Diesel power seems strange too. I got a big grin about Officer Joe Bolton on Channel 11 but as a little kid the mention of Clifton on the show would have gone right over my head. Thanks again!

29:09 Nice

Thanks for the great ride! I especially enjoyed the Bergen County section, I saw a lot of things I recognized and quite a few things I didn't. There's been quite a few changes since I moved south inn 1987. But thank goodness Bagelicious is still in Ridgewood by the old Erie station complex! A great place for a hot coffee and a snack on a cold day! Sure, I remember Officer Joe Bolton! His theme song too, "The Whistler And His Dog." Thanks again! Two hours well-spent!

I remember running the GP40s with Penn Central from Weehawken to Selkirk. Although the maximum speed was 40 at that time, they got up to speed quickly with 40 and 50 car van trains. Another great video. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Hello there Mr. Retired Railfan Horn Guy...I finally got to watch a few of your videos (Best of 2024 Parts 1 and 2, Port Jervis to Secaucus and the videos at the West Island club). Thanks for the entertainment. Your group definitely hit the gold mine at Manitou. I would have like to have seen the reaction of the two ladies who had the suitcase blown away. They are lucky it was not them...May 2025 keep you trackside and on the trains. Be well, VZ

The connector between the former Erie main line in Paterson and the former Lackawanna through Clifton and Passaic was the old Erie Newark Branch. This line was upgraded for the purpose between these two points. But it continued to host a few commuter trains from Paterson all the way to Newark and Hoboken until 1966.

Nice thanks for sharing 1800 i seen in Pittsburgh about 3 years ago ns unit god bless be safe

Interesting video. At 4:28 in the video about what time frame does RS41 pass through Queens Village? Is that a 5 day a week occurrence.

Ay my town Lyndhurst 😀

Great compilation !🤗

Jeez, our trains travel at a snail pace compared to the european ones i've been on

The Conrail Shared Assets Area runs all the way to the Biden Transportation Center - a lot longer than thought by most folks.

Those 071 class EMD locos have the identical 12-645E3 motor as the V/line N Class here in Victoria, Australia.

Those 8100 class EMUs sound identical to the Comeng EMUs we run here in Melbourne Australia. Both run GEC traction equipment Ironically both could run on either system as both are 1500V-DC and 5'3" gauge track.

RJ Tower still standing at 1:43:50

If I may ask, what sort of equipment was on that train? I know you said there was a GP-40 pushing, but what cars did NJT use? I noticed there were automated announcements on this line, and I know that's something NJT has notoriously had issues with. While this is Metro North West of Hudson, it's NJT equipment, NJT announcements, etc, hense all the NJT references.

Interesting video.
