R42 M train ride (lead car 4815) from Chambers Street to Metropolitan Avenue on December 27, 2000.

The good old days when the Williamsburg Bridge-bound platforms of Canal Street and Bowery were still in service!

[@Gshadow1000]

Wish they would bring it back…

[@GeneralHawk505]

If you look at Canals now abandoned side in this video. You can see a dual sided staircase that is cinderblocked off. That was closed roughly mid 80s to early 90s

[@GeneralHawk505]

At 5:09 the end wall at the end of the platform is a closed staircase entrance to the ramp of the Willy B.

[@r42productions69]

6:13 Oh look, the R40M-R42 combined set.

[@redbird1train855]

R42 Productions Guess that answers my question if R40M's were ever on the brown M line lol

[@redbird1train855]

And also, their's a R40M combined R42 J train at 9:48

[@jeremynaraine]

Thank you for this video. I miss the r42 on the M. The r42 I rode them was on the A J and M. I miss the r42. R42 was on some of the line.

At 24:14, that's my fourteen years home station. Twenty years ago, i lived somewhere near by B38 bus. I sure miss riding brown M train. They were my childhood to ride.

[@V1N_X3NT]

I remember this accident in the Williamsburg Bridge at 7:16...

The R42 was the best I have a question did you see the Brown M using the R40 slants and what subway lines you saw the R40 slant

[@chaohwac]

I did see R40 slant M trains on the Sea Beach Line when the 911 reroute happened in 2001. For me, I saw the R40 slants on B, L, M, and Q lines.

[@n3ptvne790]

Chao-Hwa Chen awsome I haven’t seen the slants in person I only saw the R38s in the prade of many colors

[@transitfannermiguelnunez]

Me too because I was born in Oct 2009

[@nb347]

Awesome footage, I wonder if anyone still has photos of Essex and Delancey Street Stations looked like before they rehabilitated the complex?

[@nycli376]

Good old days with the Nassau Street (M) Local Train which is my favorite Nassau Street Line even though the (M) Local Train is 6th Avenue Line which is fine.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Did you ever get a 9 that wasn’t an R62A?

[@chaohwac]

I never saw any trains other than R62As on the 9.

[@redbird1train855]

Wow a R42 attached to a R40M on a M train @ 6:13

[@mtattrain2]

Whoa, was that exit that goes under the eastbound track open at Essex?

[@KINGTO101]

I think they had that cuz in somewhere in 99 the J and M trains were suspended via Williamsburg Bridge at all times of reconstruction....they had M trains from Metro to Marcy Avs, J to only Myrtle Av, and a shuttle between Essex and Broad Sts....and oh yes the rush hour M from Chambers St to Bay Parkway....so that walkway was the exit to shuttle buses.....sorry if this a long explanation

[@redbird1train855]

Do you have any action videos of a R32 G or R42 G trains?

[@redbird1train855]

6:13 their is a 2 car R40M M train attached to the 6 car R42 and at 9:48 their is another 2 car R40M J train attached to the R42 6 car, Guess this answers my question about R40M's existing on the J, brown M and Z lines!

When the NYC Subway System Was Fun Now Today it's a piece of Shit Because of all these Tech Trains

[@joshbenton4080]

I agree, the sounds the newer trains with AC propulsion systems have, sounds horrible in comparison to the R42 type cars. (These were built with the Westinghouse propulsion systems and had Westinghouse Motors) I honestly hate the sounds of the Siemens propulsion systems the newer AC traction equipped subway cars have.

[@robroy6374]

exactly, especially with the boring R160s, R179s, R188s and R211s!

[@Kareem4692]

Nice videos as always

[@evanhemingway6030]

Do you happen to have any footage of the original Cortlandt Street station on the 1 and 9 lines?

[@chaohwac]

Unfortunately I don't have it.

[@transitfannermiguelnunez]

As of April 2018 4815 was out of service

[@transitfannermiguelnunez]

4815 was moved to ENY yard due to r160s

[@axeladame9376]

Since 2000 close to 2001

[@transitfannermiguelnunez]

They will use the old station incase something happens
