Oooh, we're getting return trips of the lines now. One thing I'd like personally is a redo a the 5 train going to dyre since the last one had it go back up the 2 line in manhattan. We missed the chance to see the sharp turn going into 149th XD

Totally agreed. I want to ride that hair pin curve both directions. I guess it's like a ride at Coney Island ! LOL. The stupid thing up here in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area, is that the curves on the Spadina Line extension to Yaughan all squeal !! They are new, gradual curves, and the f---ing things all squeal. Older, sharper curve tracks on the Bloor-Danforth Line, and Yonge University Spadina line, excepting at Union Station, barely squeal at all. Does any one know why ?

@@wtaenyc well back in the day it was the d train from church ave to dekalb for Brooklyn tech and to west 4th to Cooper Union- I preferred it to the shorter irt- but favorite ? Was the grand central to Times Square shuttle because of the moving platform.

Actually a favorite was also in Canarsie where back in the day you had to walk across the tracks to get to the platform :)

Back in the 90s I used to take the old R40 Slant orange Q route which was Brighton express to Brighton beach and queensbridge. from 1988 to 1998 the old orange Q had R68s and then it was R40 until 9/11 hit Also remember during the 1995 Manhattan bridge construction the (D) were terminated at 34th st herald square and the Q run Broadway line with the yellow diamond curved tail Q rollsign via montague st tunnel with the N & R trains I also remember in the early 2000s the Manhattan bridge was closed for construction so there was a temporary shuttle called the grand street shuttle which ran from Broadway Lafayette to grand street and the shuttle rollsign on the R68s were Blue, Orange & Yellow the grand street shuttle was just three stops

[@musicforaarre]

18:35 It's interesting how the BMT changed their minds and did a diveunder here to go under and away from the local tracks. They must have recut the earth into the open again to make an open trough visible from the street. I see a solid concrete wall on the left, but still see steel beams to the right. I suppose the extra set of horizontal ceiling beams must have been put in to stop the local tracks from wandering over to the express tracks; a buckling of the wall sideways. I notice that the thickness of the vertical beams is now thicker in the redone section compared to the original section previously. 19:24 Is the kink in the tracks, and the wider center supports there to support the overhead BMT to Chambers Street ? 20:41 I always love to see the diversion, where the N train has to go from the north two tracks of four, over to the south two tracks of the four; it would have had to take the north side of the Manhattan Bridge before, instead of the south side that it does now. 20:43 The original Brooklyn bound (to north side of the bridge) alignment where the two walls ahead of us are now. 20:46 The two skewed walls on the left used to be the southbound to Chambers Street, and Bowery Street from the south side of the Manhattan Bridge. 31:23 Our tunnel is running through where the southbound Myrtle Ave. station platform would have been. Enough for tonight. Aarre Peltomaa

Interesting suggestion. Let’s wait and see what happens once those lovely trains arrive and how close/far away from this suggestion, things turn out. Thanks for sharing and we appreciate you for your continued support. 🫶🫡

[@CR1Creative]

I Think the Base order of 535 R211A/R211T cars will be assigned to pitkin yard/207 Street yard/Concourse Yard to Run on the A/C/D and Rockaway Shuttle The R179's on the A will stay for extra service, the 8 car R179 based out of 207th Street Yard would be displaced over to Jamaica yard This will make the C fully R211's and C trains will be extended from 8-10 cars. Meanwhile the G will have its trains extended from 5-8 cars which will be a relief for G train Riders who are tired of short trains During this time, The B will most likely Run a mixture of R160-B's and R211's While in Concourse the (D) will run fully R211's The MTA will most likely retire all of Pitkin's R46's since they are in worse condition then the R46's at Coney island and for 8th avenue CBTC In addition to that, the R68's from concourse will be displaced to Coney Island, Retiring some of their R46's Option order 1: This option order of 640 cars has 2 possibilities The first possibility is that 640 cars in this option order will go to Jamaica yard for the E, F and R With the B Running a mixed fleet of the R68/A's on the B will be displaced to the N/Q/W to Retire the Remaining R46's The second possiblity is that all cars go to Queens Blvd for Fleet expansion and to displace some R160A-2's and all R160B's to the C for extra service because the frequency's of the C are so bad (5 trains per hour) Option order 2 This option order will contain around 437 cars in both 4 and 5 car sets The 4 car sets will go to the M, J and Z to expand their fleet for cars With that Some of the R179's from ENY will move to Jamaica or Coney Island for G service (depends on what Yard the G is assigned to) The 5 car sets will go to Coney Island for the N/W because of Ditmas Blvd switching, expanding the fleet and possibly retire some of the R68/A's in bad condition. Some of the R68/A's from the N/W will be moved to the Q This will also make the Q the only B Division line will 100% SMEE units Final Predictions (A) R211's and R179's (B) R160-B's and R211's (C) Fully R211's (D) Fully R211's (E/F/R) R160A-2's and R211's (G) R179's (J/Z) R160A-1's, R179's (L) R143's R160A-1 (M) R160A-1's (Occasional R211 Pop ups) (N/W) R68/A's/ R211's (Q) R68/As (occasional R211's pop ups) Franklin Ave shuttle R68's Rockaway Shuttle R179's R211's

I had so much fun on the Quincy with someone that was an Operator, back in 2019 when I moved back to ny. I do need to ask, is it me or a lot of the 46s sound like they have a flat wheel?

[@wtaenyc]

Glad this video brought back that wonderful memory. As for the flat wheel, not all 46’s in the system have; this is just one of the ones that did.

Why is there jointed rail on the bridge ?

[@robertgambling502]

I suspect that the thermal expansion and contraction of long lengths of welded rail would stress the bridge structure.

[@wtaenyc]

Great question.

[@wtaenyc]

Thank you so much for sharing this 🫡🏆

[@pgchase4578043026]

Seeing how clean the 2nd Ave Subway is (right now) makes me wonder if the MTA could rig up a power wash machine, and work their way through the system cleaning the tunnels. It would certainly help against dust, but I suppose the amount of accumulated dirt might overwhelm the tunnel drains. It might also be a disaster electrically with some of the ancient infrastructure.

[@wtaenyc]

Shoutout to the system for the installation of the new tunnel. It would be amazing to see the entire system look as new and clean as that, like you stated, and we’ll join you in manifesting the possibilities of it happening, while overcoming those and any challenges that are faced during this project. A beautiful system deserves to be even more spectacular. 🫶🫡

[@cyclopsvision6370]

Why would it be a disaster? Trains, and signaling equipment operate outdoors exposed to the rain and snow every day.

[@wtaenyc]

Great observation. If you watch the video again at this section, you may also notice how the signal flashed from green and back to yellow. With a signal flashing that case, the train operator maybe was being cautious of proceeding, so as to ensure the signal doesn’t “flash” and therefore possibly placing the train into emergency; delaying service even further. We can look at it as a safety measure as signals aren’t always working as designed.
