​@@joebruce4826is bro blind? What button? That's clearly a lever 💀

[@binh5948]

I like the view from your angle, it's cool seeing the driver operate the train and the view of the rails in front as well. Thanks for creeping on the driver to give us footage LOL

Thanks for this video…I’m originally from Sunnyside…. and 40th St/Lowery St was my home station for over 50 years

[@omm9967]

Usually they always hit 40mph+ at every stop

[@kay1229]

finally a clear view of the cab, i always wanted to see what was in there, how did u get a clear shot tho isnt the window blurred for 7 Trains

[@mta_productions]

They put new windows on the cab door that has a clear view of the cab

[@TEMPLE7D]

Lmao just stand at the front

[@dutttttttttsssss]

i remember when i was 7, a subway cab driver let me in because he heard how interested i was looking through the cab window it was pretty awesome in there

[@tridentstudios5709]

Just ask! Some operators, such as myself, don’t mind y’all looking through for a couple of stops, as long as you don’t touch anything lol.

[@ShaheemJones-ld8tx]

What line ​@@tridentstudios5709

[@Dezlite]

Just rode R143 8268 on the L train, and that one has a clear window as well

[@mta_productions]

ima try and catch that too

[@AlgonquinRider810]

I feel for the TO having to hold that controller for so many trips. Can't put in full service all the time if you in the station for like 10 seconds lol

[@Trainkidkris]

It be like that sometimes

[@henryt9281]

TOs make an average of $175,000 a year. Most people would kill for a job holding the controller for that kind of money.

[@uncommon07]

​@@henryt9281 Your numbers are completely wrong. Train operators average is about 85-90k.

[@blakemcnamara9105]

​@@henryt9281LIRR motormen with years of tenure.

[@tridentstudios5709]

I wish TO’s made 175k a year. We make about 60k starting, and move to about 90k over 4 good performing loyal years, and I know operators in their 40s and 50s making 110, and it kinda maxes out there, but this is with overtime, which is common with the amount of driver shortage. You could also work in real estate and invest on the side, and make a very very amazing pool of income, so you live comfortably. I only been on the job for 4 years, and I already have a house paid off, and 3 cars. (2 household incomes lol)

[@TransitMan_123]

Your so lucky i feel great for you in a drivers cab :)

[@Alpha-g6e]

the view is good yeah😮😮

[@RobloxTrainspotting]

[@lennysvideoz]

Awesome bro! I got a few of these just like this on different lines but I won’t post em. Will you do any other lines by chance?

[@freshpotatolikesaviation]

ah yes, the days when the 82nd and 111 isnt destroyed

[@DocBrown086]

The doors closing recording would drive me crazzzzy. Chicago CTA has a much less annoying one. Just one guy’s opinion of course 😋

[@BakaryRoleplayGaming]

How was the TOD (Train Operator Display) screen made? What app did they use on Windows or any operating system? Can I make my own? (Not the physical devices, the software) How did they model the speedometer and add elements?

[@ItzYaboiTristanYT]

finally yessirrrr

[@NopWorks]

Why in the video it does feel like the train car lifts up and down upon arriving & departing the stations? Are the train cars equipped with some kind of hydraulic or air pistons to make it easier for wheel chairs to get on & off the train? Is this an accessibility feature that I didn't know of?

[@Agenteyes007]

Aiibags are used for a smooth ride.

[@iitrapezoid_8243]

The trains bounce when they start and stop, so..

[@MattDaGamer21]

can you upload more of these pov's. Also can you try getting the r211.

[@mta_productions]

i'll try the R211

[@zycklacon9588]

great video, just a question, how come the train is in ATPM where the operating is "driving" the train instead of the train going by itself by ATO. Also, what does that red mean at 7:25 (thats 2 questions actually xD)

[@mta_productions]

i think cuz only some R188s have ATO readers and thats the one that can drive by itself. When a R188 has a camera in the front or the back, thats a ATO reader. I might be wrong so correct me if i am. That red thing at 7:25, idk what that is ive never seen that.

[@zycklacon9588]

@@mta_productions thanks for responding yo, I heard it ATPM Is activated because when the train "starts", it does a test and sees if ATO is ready, if it fails ATPM is required for the Train Operator to use the train. Fun fact atleast lol

[@drewrides1073]

It seems like it can detect when the operator is not sitting or doesn't have the seat propped up properly for them to stand while operating. My best assumption is if the the seat isn't positioned to sit or stand up the train will be stuck in it's position.

[@edot_nyc]

To answer your first question it is because ATO was unavailable. Drivers on the IRT Flushing Line have an option to either drive in automatic mode (ATO) or Manually (ATPM). However, this only applies when the line is in normal condition. If need be, ATO can and will be temporarily disabled, forcing all drivers to drive manually for the time being.

[@kay1229]

I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT ! The flashing red bar means that the Train operators foot is NOT touching the Dead man's switch or the Train Pedal that the trains have as a safety measure, when the T/O Stood up his foot got off the pedal and then it started flashing so its pretty much a caution because after 20 Seconds without the foot touching the pedal, The train goes into Emergency

[@mikec.8556]

Beware The MTA ( Doctors ) are watching Medical holds are never far away The T.O looks like his neck is 161/4 inch

[@highlightdarkness]

wth are u talking abt

[@tonynelson2443]

If your neck is over a certain measurement they rule that you are at risk for sleep apnea

[@Agenteyes007]

Lmao that is so true. He is not lying.

[@ag.unknown]

I thought if a line had CBTC the operator just needs to click a button every few seconds and the train automatically drives itself, why is the operator using the driving handle to move it forward and stop?

[@1VIPWRX]

The auto feature was not available on the screen ...Once ATO is shown the operator can use the auto feature

[@comically_largesponge]

0:19 throttle

[@abdullaharif6455]

Would like the same video but with ATO enabled. I want to see the driver press the ATO Start button.

[@BigPops757]

Please explain the flashing red bar

[@mta_productions]

tbh idk why that happens i’ve never seen that

[@RailsByBilly]

at what time in the vid?

[@mta_productions]

@@RailsByBilly 7:26

[@RailsByBilly]

I was just looking this up and searching up vids, the red flashing bar is just the acknowledge, nothing is wrong with the train. The operator needs to hit a lever that way the train knows he’s alive and still driving - if he doesn’t hit it, the train will go into emergency brake

[@phsycopiano]

Damn, I knew driving a train was east but didn’t know it was THAT easy

[@Chw4]

Moving it is easy. Stopping it is the hard part. You have to stop exactly at the marker to ensure that all cars are on the platform before the conductor can open the doors. That stop has to be smooth. On a typical day, the train operator may make over 100 stops a day. They have to be perfect. And oh...by the way....the newer trains skid on wet rails in the rain. Another challenge.

[@phsycopiano]

@@Chw4 Still, he don’t have to worry about cars cutting him off, chaining up in the winter time, driving down a steep grade hoping your brakes don’t get hot, being in a nice worm environment, I’d trade jobs with him any day of the week.

There's no more privacy, fkn T/O has no idea he's being filmed. This is why i put whatever i can to block that window. unbelievable. I'm going to go find that operator and let him know this is up in case some shit goes down. Unbelievable.

[@a....b...]

It's not even that serious, if he wanted privacy he could have just blocked the window. Plus he's not even trying to record the t/o, hes just showcasing the ato

[@shaheemhanley9055]

@@a....b... exactly. Most of these operators nowadays make me sick. Never greet you and take their jobs way too serious. Next, we should block anyone from seeing out of the front of buses too because it’s dangerous for the bus operator. The good operators who wave at you while you film are rare to find but they’re out there.
