[@KingofGamingAndTrains456]

If the R160 existed in 1968:

Imagine😂

[@FjdnfjcjdDndnnd]

This is Sutphin Blvd-Archer Ave JFK. (Transfer is available to the J and Z trains.)

[@OfficialJakeTransit]

R160 would be retired in 2020s if it was existed in 1968.

[@JonasLora-wx6ml]

True

[@ilovecake7]

this is documented of how it should sound like. you earn a subscriber. Edit: I found out when they say double its just an cutout version of the sound "W" which sounds like a Double U

[@langstonreese7077]

U found it! I used Cutout of “W” announcement on the F transfer at 34th St-Herald Sq. It makes/made sense to use “Double” As an announcement for the double lettered trains instead of doing “AA”. For example “EE train” wouldn’t make sense since it sounds more like saying “E train”, but if it was “Double E” train then because double = 2, now it wouldn’t sound like “E train”. It would sound more like double E because that’s what the route is.

R160: no i am not 18 years old. I am 56 years old.

[@muni_Thomas_boi]

I like how Delancey Street Essex Street has a Double J that looks like the J line in San Francisco without the second J

[@leecornwell5632]

You definitely need to do the powder blue 🔵 8 R262 Thrid Avenue Elevated line next.

[@langstonreese7077]

I was thinking about doing that one!😂

[@LIRRFAN426]

I’ve always wanted to make a series like this, I just did 1987 though because it’s easier. Nice video

[@langstonreese7077]

I know you did 1987, I watched all your videos and their soo cool!

[@LIRRFAN426]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@JonasLora-wx6ml]

Since when the F. train used to be on a unknown pink line and the 6 on the Orange one and the B train on a black line and the 7 train on the Orange line

[@langstonreese7077]

They never had the specific colors that are on the lines today. They were random. They had nine colors. Red (2, HH, QB, RJ), Orange (1, 7, D, EE, JJ, Culver SS), Yellow, (6, N, Franklin Avenue SS) Green, (CC, GG, RR, Dyre Avenue SS) Cyan (3, 8, E, M 42 Street SS), Blue (A, K-8th Avenue LCL, KK-6th Avenue & Jamaica LCL, TT, Bowling Green SS), Pink (4, AA, F, MJ), and Black, (5, B, J, LL, QJ, 145 St-SS).

[@BMTEnjoyer160]

This will be good

[@djr.bklyn.ny.]

This sounds pretty good as I already made the 1987 version but this is a bit different. But there are some errors here and there (Ex: Ely is missing in 23 St-Ely Av and you wrote Queensboro Plaza instead of Queens Plaza. Also like Briarwood/5 Av-53 St is where? and Neptune Av was called Van Sicklen Av in 1968)

[@langstonreese7077]

On the 1968 map it shows 23rd St. Not 23rd St Ely Av. And I knew it used to be called “Van Sicken” after the family that owned it.

[@langstonreese7077]

The 1968 map Doesn’t show 5th Av-53rd St, probably because that station wasn’t built yet.

[@langstonreese7077]

Also I meant to add briarwood and change Neptune Av to Van Sicklen.

[@djr.bklyn.ny.]

Ah I mean Google said it was build 90 years ago but dw abt it it’s still great content I don’t mean to nitpick 👌

[@TheLordAI]

Was there no QB in 1968? And did the B & TT exist at the same time? Considering they're basically the same line?

[@langstonreese7077]

SF & Helvetica Font look almost identical…

[@BMTEnjoyer160]

Hey can you do the MJ or the NX Soon?

[@langstonreese7077]

Yes!

Don't be surprised if there's a Micheal Jackson reference in there

If there was a WW train back then would they have said Quadruple U instead?

Quadruple U💀💀

[@Kool_Fish_Here]

I got 1 question if we still had duble letter trains how would they be called? (duble E)? (EE)? and for difrent letters like the (QJ) how would that be called?

[@langstonreese7077]

They would most likely be “double E” since “EE” would sound confusing and would confuse people with “E”.

[@Kool_Fish_Here]

Ok but what happened other letters like the (NX)

[@Lalaball7]

They got removed

Purple (F)?

Not a mistake. If you watch mr railfan’s video of the (F) via (Q)/Brighton line from Coney Island announcements you can see a photo of pink F train on the Brighton line.
