⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ NYC Subway Front Window View - Vintage R1-9 Running from Coney Island to 38th Street Yard

[@nonothing4474]

Description says "taken from a publicy accessible area" YEA WHERE ELSE? 😂

[@K1_Trains]

I was on this train at the other end it was an amazing ride and such a treat to go in the yard. At the time I didn't understand why we reversed back out rather then take the loop but seeing that loop now I can understand why there is no way that train could had made it!

Thank You! It was much needed to know. 👍🏻😊👍🏻

[@frankortolano5886]

How wonderful, as a train operator I operated all of those trains

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I envy you. As a young man, years ago, back in the mid-seventies, I wanted to be a New York City (MTA) motorman. But, people who are hard of hearing, like me, don't get hired to operate trains. 😔 Understandably so. Therefore, my only option is model railroading. 😁

Some of the adult's commentary makes me cringe, especially around 20th 18th aves lol.

Awesome video! 😃 I really wanted to see and hear the 38th Street Yard Loop, still awesome nonetheless!

Awesome video to watch on MUTE.

Did 103's motors take power, or were they cut out?

[@LingLiu2014]

Beautiful ❤️ love the explanation of the tracks and points! Our UK trains are similar except the light system

[@marcusarline7135]

Splendid Ride

[@DARTHBLUNT713]

That was so awesome

[@roadjdr4678]

Great front view video. At the end of the video is it true what someone yelled saying that there was an R110 in the yard? I know I heard that the NYC subway system was taking there R110A to be rebuilt as a pump train.

[@iheartjetaviation2764]

Love your videos, and I am a subscriber. Can anyone tell me why there are what appears to be tracks between the 2 main tracks? Sometimes they are painted with yellow at the ends and sometimes appear to be turned inwards at the ends. Thanks

[@chief-mo6mf]

These inner rails are called guardrails. In case a train derails, they keep the train from completely going off the tracks. They minimize the sideward travel of the derailed train.

[@iheartjetaviation2764]

@@chief-mo6mf Thank you so much for answering the question I've had since childhood. Back then my grandpa and I would always go to the first car, leaving Flatbush Ave for lower Manhattan, so I could look out the window. What wonderful memories I have of those days with him.

[@yaroslavyatsyk6475]

How do express trains run on the middle track? Like in morning peak inbound, and evening outbound or what?

[@fiercingdragon]

The express track on the West End Line is occasionally used for work trains and when trains in service have to use the express track due to either incidents or planned work/re-routes. Several ways for trains to switch to the middle. When a northbound train is about to approach or pass the Bay 50th Street station, there's a curve that allows the train to switch from local to express. - The Bay Parkway and 62nd Street station has it, but only for southbound trains. - The 9th Avenue station has a curve in both directions.

Great video! I always wondered where those ramps west of 9th Ave. went.

[@PotatoLemons1]

Could we have a timelapse version of this?

[@kennethrembert7925]

Is this on the Q train?

[@luislaplume8261]

The ramps without the tracks 2as the connection to the Bay Ridge 5th Ave. El to Downtown Brooklyn.

[@W2IRT]

That's actually not correct Luis. They were only used extremely briefly circa 1915 during construction, and abandoned shortly after that. 5av. trains ran down from the el and then on what are today's yard tracks 21 and 22. The used the main ramps, then used tracks C1, C2, and C3 through the lower level of 9th Ave, then up to the Culver line on Gravesend (McDonald) Avenue.

[@luislaplume8261]

@@W2IRT Thank you. I always wondered what they were actually used for if not for entry for the 5th Ave. Bay Ridge El. It has been without tracks since the 1960s when I first saw it.

[@W2IRT]

@@luislaplume8261 AS I wrote in my book (Tracks of the NYC Subway), "Two abandoned ramps, known as the Fifth Avenue Inclines, were built and used during construction of the West End Line, but were never in passenger service. "Construction photos from that era show the inclines with track-but no third rail-in place circa 1915, but when the line opened in 1916 those rails had been removed and the ramps have never been used since. Their original purpose remains unclear, but it could be speculated that revenue service Culver trains would use those ramps, and yard moves would use Y1/Y2 exclusively."

[@KennethScharf]

Sea Beach tracks blocked? WTF?

[@fiercingdragon]

I believe it was planned work there, as N trains terminated at Kings Highway.

[@fredashay]

They took the train into the yard with passengers?!?! How did the passengers get off without a platform? And did you have to walk along the ground next to active tracks to get to those buses? I'd have loved to been there, but it also strikes me as incredibly dangerous to let the public walk along the tracks like that. Or did they kill the power to the 3rd rails while the people walked through the yard?

[@DJHammersTrains]

Passengers were not let off of the train in the yard. The train was brought in to the yard, and from there it switched directions and returned to Coney Island. Under special operations like this, it's permissible to allow a train like this in to the yard.

[@fredashay]

@@DJHammersTrains Cool! Thanks for replying! 🙂 Must have been a nice treat to see a yard up close from inside a train!

[@trainmaster67158]

[@fredashay]

Why did your train stop at 17:20 while the other train passed ? Was there a risk the two trains could hit each other even though they're on separate tracks?

[@K1_Trains]

Hi there I was on the train at the other end bassicly they had to manually reset the signal so after the train stopped at the rear in someone got out reset the signal then we moved on towards 9th av

[@fredashay]
