New York City Subway N Train (to Coney Island {via west end}) Front View

[@Stanf954]

I worked the N/W/Q for years out of Astoria Ditmars. One of the best lines to work in the system.

Since the M trains are returning back to the queen blvd line can you do a M train from forest hills to metropolitan avenue🟠

[@ratuldeoun7228]

I wish the F and M would permanently swap to reduce congestion on the E train 🥲

[@146_ChinoMexicano]

​@@ratuldeoun7228/ Why's that?

[@ratuldeoun7228]

@@146_ChinoMexicano The E trains always gets packed during peak rush hour since more people get off in Lexington Avenue/53 Street. So if the F Express train got permanently connected back to the 53 St route, that would put less congestion on the E trains. The M Local train would be better for the 63 Street route since not as many people get off over at Lexington Avenue/63 Street. Today was the first day the F Express train went back to the 63 Street route and E trains were packed more than usual and it wasn't even a school day so imagine starting tomorrow when there is school how packed the E trains are going to get.

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

Try to do an R160 M Train with the Siemens motor!

[@F40PH-2CAT]

​@@ratuldeoun7228no. People need to use the M more. The F is needed on 63rd and Roosevelt Island. Surveys were done.

[@john345]

Great as always! Took both lines to my old high school John Dewey High School at Bay 50th Street Station. Back in the 70's It was the B train that ran on the West End Line and the N line last stop in Manhattan was 57th street 7th Avenue. The RR back then went to Astoria Ditmars Blvd.You may have to another video with N train from Ditmars Blvd via Sea beach line the original route. Again Excellent!!!

Two cool parts of this ride were at 14:19 the R merging underground while the N was still on the structure, and at 1:28:28 navigating across the entire plant at Coney Island. Really cool! 😎😎

My fav part is wen trains switch tracks and wen the train goes over crossed tracks the do. Da dom da do sound is rad and wen it makes sharp turns are awesome wen u hear the stretching sound I don't know I like watching local train service videos rather than Express for some reason 😎😎

[@DrBeah]

Just after Queensboro Plaza, seeing the R train as it merged just inside the tunnel was great. But no horn sounding near the end where the two welders surprised me.

[@wtaenyc]

🙃🫡

[@AngelusBrady]

13:55, I always wondered how far away the N/W train had to be when the R had to merge into the 60th Street tunnel. Now I know. I hope one day there will be footage of the R waiting for the N/W merge.

[@Metsfan7232]

I’d say roughly 900-1000 feet. Grade and prior timed red signals accounted for.

[@AngelusBrady]

@@Metsfan7232 Thanks. I was expecting it to be a lot closer. Similar to the distance where the F has to wait for the E at the express merge near 36th Street.

[@Larry-qz3es]

At 10:08 the Ascending/descending structure was from the old 2nd Avenue EL IRT lines that traveled to/from Astoria and to Flushing. If you happen to exit from Queensborough Plaza, you can still see what remains.

[@wtaenyc]

Thanks for sharing 🫡

[@CloverPhotoandVideo]

This video is beyond cool! I love the night views and the view to 9th Ave. and again into Stillwell Ave. I grew up not far from the Coney Island Yard and as a kid used to be at the window contantly watching the trains going in and out of the yard, as well as the Sea Beach crossing through. Great memories!

[@goncalvesvini]

Lived in Astoria for a couple of years almost 10 y ago, took the N train every day, seeing these buildings that were bare bones or weren't there yet makes me miss living in NYC. What a city

[@SuperLQQK]

Man, I love that 49th street station.

[@TheLordAI]

Yeah me too but not enough to wonder why the EXPRESS N train stops there when there's 2 locals

[@nyt_guy]

Finally its out!💯🔥

[@jaymorgenthal9479]

I grew up near the Astoria line 36 ave station. lived there 1951-1971. as a kid it was all Standards and D types. Brighton Local, West End Express . in late 1960 saw the first olive Green R-27’s. by the later part of 1964 the R-32’s. trains got new letters with new cars : QT QB T. By summer 65 all of the old cars were gone.

I love your annotations. That's great. I got more details around DeKalb Ave of the tunnels. I know that you are maybe tired of hearing about it, but I love to know how tunnels are redone and rerouted, and what engineering is required to do this. Finally I have a pre 1950's track diagram of the DeKalb in Peter Dougherty's 2024 'Tracks of the New York City Subway'; highly, highly recommended. His new graphics blow my mind; they are in colour, with old, historical track diagrams also. He created in abundance. If you are reading this, Pete, then thanks so much. And thanks to WTAE.

[@jamesstark8316]

His book is fantastic. Used the flip pages to track this reroute. His remarks are extremely informative. (Myrtle Ave line rider from 50's and 60's)

[@Metsfan7232]

As you are probably aware, all crossings north of DeKalb were at grade. While I always wonder how much effect rebuild had above ground (street closures, existing buildings razed).

[@wtaenyc]

Thanks for sharing and shoutout to Peter Dougherty’s work on providing valuable insights into the subway system. 🏆🫡♾️

[@146_ChinoMexicano]

I'm just really glad that all train service didn't get delayed, nor damaged, nor destroyed, nor people got injured in transit system due to 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake that struck NYC on Friday April 5th, 2024. I was so scared and had a heart attack that it shook the entire building i live at, and it might collapse. But glady, it didn't and i felt fine after that. On that day, that was my first time experiencing the earthquake, and I'll never forget about what happened on that day. Definitely the scariest moment I've been through 😨😰

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

I didn't feel anything that fateful day.
