New York City Subway A Exp Train (Far Rockaway - 207th St) Front View

[@darylcarr8283]

This was one of the routes I "lived" on as a homeless teenager. 30+ years later, it feels nostalgic as hell to see and hear the same senses via a brand new train model!

[@wtaenyc]

We are deeply saddened that you had to experience that as a teenager. No one deserves that and we just want you to know that it is an honor that we can bring you that nostalgia feeling, despite the unfortunate memories associated. We are proud of you for what you have overcome and thank you for your support. It means a lot.

I have to say within the past couple of days watching this video, I am very intrigued and amazed seeing what goes on underneath the NYC subway tunnels. I've always had an obsession riding subway trains as a kid and I was always curious what lies in the tunnel. Fast forward, I'm 32 years old and still obsess and am fascinated with NYC trains/tunnels whenever I come to visit. I definitely would love to see more videos. I'd love to see the 4,5,6,7, N, Q, R,W,1,2,3,J,M & Z lines, I wanna know what the tunnels look like :D

[@ECO473]

@@hemmingscable It was 1981-82 for me. I'd get on at Broadway Junction and I would transfer to the C at either Nostrand Avenue or Hoyt-Schemerhorn to go to Lafayette Avenue to get to school. When I started skipping classes, I just stayed on the A. The rush hour crowd thinned out at West 4th Street, so I could then go to the front window and enjoy the view. As for school, I already knew I wasn't going to pass anything anyway, so I had nothing to lose. 😊

[@24sweetroller7]

Wow! This is a lot more fun than the cab view! To me, the train sounds of the New York Subway are not relaxing, it is an adrenaline rush, just like the city itself! Crossing over the many track switches, the third rail flashovers, the signals that change at the right time, and occasionally seeing a train passing by or rushing in the opposite direction. Although the Rockaway sequence is nice, my favorite part is when the train first enters the tunnel, then you fly past the local stops after Euclid Avenue. From Euclid all the way to Inwood-207 Street, the viewer sees the grit, grime, dirty waters, the graffiti along with hearing the traction motors of the city's newest trains taking riders to their destinations with speed and safety. I have rode on the R-1/9 trains on fan trips along the A route. I got to ride on the recently retired R-32's which ran locally and as express trains on the route. I'm an occasional visitor to the system from Pittsburgh, PA, but anytime I visit the subway, and the transit museum in Brooklyn, it is always a treat! And finally, to quote my favorite tag team wrestlers, the late and great Road Warriors Animal and Hawk: "OOOOHH! WHAT A RUSH!! Thanks for sharing a fascinating video!!!

Can't believe I'm 2 weeks late to this! Subscribed!!! Thank you for this amazing masterpiece. You just made me gain the love for trains I used to have. I first got into trains because of the RWF of the R40s on the B back around 2008-2011. With that clear view gone, both on the subways and the LIRR, it became boring watching onboard subway videos because you're just looking at tunnel lights passing by. This is a true subway POV!! I can feel it all, the adrenaline rush between every stop is so amazing. I cannot believe I sat more than an hour and watched from start to finish. The R179 propulsion finished me. The sound effects were out of this world. Thank you for making this and doing it professionally and safely. You do know you can't just stop here right? You've done unlocked a new perspective that is very very very joyful. And the subway has some areas that ASMR would be out of this world. You can really make this channel dedicated to that and get $$$ in the process. I look forward to some more videos. I suggest breaking an entire line down into 2 or 3 parts (more videos, more views, less work), then upload the full route after all the parts. The 4 line, the 7, the J and the Q would be great routes to see and hear from this perspective. Thanks again for this masterpiece. A true classic. Great way to start 2022! Edit: I just took a look through your other videos and I see you already have parts. Glad I'm not too late to the party! Yall just getting started!!

The complexity of the trackwork is clearly shown here. Thanks for posting this awesome video, highlighting the longest subway line all the way from Far Rockaway to 207th Street.

So, you are filling in a HUGE NEED now that the R-32's are history. Also, this will act as a railfan's best chance at seeing what lies along the tracks, seeing the ramps of flying junctions, seeing the track level changes and the way switches work! Again, please do more----many more of these videos.

This was under old management so we’ll eventually post the unedited version.

[@Peony459x]

Thanks for this video! This is the train line I used to ride back and forth from work every day. Been away from NYC for a while now but having fun recalling the station names before the train gets there.

[@k.h.4698]

It is amazing the different feeling you get due to the lower perspective at bogey POV. The true natural sound is spectacular, as you hear the squelching of the wheels on curves, the clicking as you go in and out of switches, all without passenger noise. The motor accel and decel, and trumpet sounds are a symphonic enhancement. visually, being so low hives you a real sense of track gauge not triangulated from human eye height above the platform. Even seeing the world below platform is as realistic as i ever care to come, because experienced otherwuse it means i am in real bad trouble. The real danger of the third rail feels vulnerably closer, because, well, you ARE closer. Please record more videos in this style for the other lines, if you can. I’m curious about the Williamsburg Bridge lines, and more of the daylight surface stretches, but the subway views are great too, since they are time-if-day neutral in their perennial dark world with eerie incandescent pop-up reality. Wonderful job.

[@k.h.4698]

The A is my local line i've been up and down it so many times I commute on in it too and from school and somehow even though I know this all by heart it seemed so new this is amazing and I cant wait to see the rest of your videos this is the subway from such a cool POV

Honored that our video can do such. We can't wait for you to experience the return version.

[@erie910]

Thank you for these. Back when I worked in NYC in the 1960's and 1970's, I rode the entire system, including lines that don't exist anymore (Culver Shuttle, Bowling Green-South Ferry Shuttle, 3rd Av El in the Bronx) and SIRT. Now that the 2nd Av line is in service, I can' say any longer that I have ridden the entire system. Probably won't get back east to ride the new stuff, but it's too unsafe to try. Finished Chicago. Now have to finish Toronto.

[@wtaenyc]

Shoutout to you for all you’ve achieved thus far; honored you get to experience all that you haven’t personally. 🫡

[@DMVRailfan]

I really love this content and whenever I’m bored, I usually watch this. P.S. can you do the 6 or Q? Those are some of my favorite lines.

[@Junior44-f7x]

Now that i, m listening to the type of subway car, and the fact that it, s throwing a lot of spark from the third rail, this has to be an r32 subway, an old workhorse first introduced into the transit system in the 70, s. This is a new way to see where you are going, again cool video.

[@wtaenyc]

We appreciate you for your kind words. The R-32’s are now retired and this is the R-179 train that is currently the newest, in service, train in our system.

Video was well done as a L fan I'd say the MTA is a bit different than our CTA in Chicago as far clean platforms and tracks go just an observation is all gooday NYC overall great experience!!

[@wtaenyc]

Thank you so much and we also appreciate you for leaving your feedback as it relates to the two system comparisons. Shoutout to CTA for their amazing work and for their cleanliness; it is something we too are manifesting for NYC’s system in the coming years. We are happy that you were able to enjoy this and it would be an honor to do the same with your system. Thanks again and we send positive blessings to you and your family ☀️🫡.

I'm going to hazard a guess, but it appears that where the G tunnel intersects at Hoyt-Schemerhorn is where this subtle separation between tunnel walls shows up at 39:32 (actually, as early as 39:21) to the left. You can see, very briefly, playback it at 0.25, a tunnel rising that seems to be the G;s track. I could be wrong.
