I find it cool that the kid talking is now over 30 years old

[@zealoustipp1538]

I like how he's reading the paper instead of looking down at a phone.

[@blankspace_kxng]

Because its the 90's they didnt have "iphone" or "Samsung Electronics"

[@soleaguirre100]

He obviously knows that.. He’s just saying he prefers people looking down at a newspaper reading then people hooked into their smartphone

I miss being able to look out of the front car. I wish they would bring that view back

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

[@Azarable]

I miss the REDBIRDS on the (2) and (5) lines.

[@meachpieters2457]

Thanks for the video. On this day I turned 5. If you have any more videos like these NYC subway from the 1990's please upload. This video bring back memories

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

The 1 line has (almost) never changed.

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

Wow...and to think I was only a few months old when this was filmed. I remember only once being able to ride the Red Bird before it retired. How times have changed...

[@carlos.a.sanchez201]

Wow...... Interesting times what Cortlandt Street-World Trade Center used to look like before 9/11. Now the Cortlandt-WTC Station is renamed which I love it. Plus I remember when the (9) Train used to operate which is all (1) Local Train.

[@thatford]

3 train pre 9-11 was 9 cars in length. That’s hard to imagine now.

[@theofficial4train2546]

WTC cortlant in 5:04

6:57 R62A car #2415, has unfortunately been involved in a subway derailment caused by human error, on January 4, 2024, on the 1 train which collided with an out-of-service train in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, around the 96th Street station on the Broadway-7th Avenue line.

1993 l was 17 years old and was in High School that time too and never forgotten the old images the subway lines and station l been traveling and bypassing too!

[@8avexp]

Before the while system was slowed down. And it's "motorman," not "conductor." The conductor operates the doors and announces stations.

[@robroy6374]

3 years before the system slowed down to be exact (1996).

[@preetigirlnyc9162]

Man I was 5 years old when this was filmed and remembered riding the Red Bird trains.

[@JWFdocumentaries]

Sane and Smith graffiti on the pillars

[@kevinb8881]

The MTA should have never gotten rid of the railfan windows on any of the R62/As (or the R68/As)!!!

[@redphone1438]

At 6:23 9 Train! Also at 6:23 you may notice that it has different door window frames back then. The front looked so different with those older window frames. When did the MTA get R62As the current door window frames we have today on them?

[@trainluvr]

When the TA got sick and tired of taking trains out of service because retards were kicking out windows, the metal frames with stronger glass went in. I hope a few vandals broke their feet on them. Must have been around 1990.

[@drakesessions3544]

@@trainluvr well it did solve the issue of the entire thing falling out but not for the glass and the vandals were not injured kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWG9lKhpmdBjjLM

[@GeneralHawk505]

5:03 the old cordlandt st station with the reddish gold tiling.

[@barnesfam]

I was born August of that year. Btw, is that Chambers St at 4:47?

[@eliguaapologynotaccepted7928]

Must be in one of those trains my brother's name☆

[@qolspony]

Ends at one of the worse stations besides 14th Street for the same reason. But what makes 14th Street worse is it much higher traffic. And it is not going anywhere anytime soon.

I wish I was a young boy again because those days without the pandemics we're very wonderful and so normal to us of not being vaccinated.

When did they put the American flags in?

[@robroy6374]

Shortly after 9/11/2001.

[@sttm1283]

clean trains? didnt they have graffiti on the cars in the 90's?

[@barnesfam]

More so in the 70s and 80s. They cleaned it up in the 90s.

[@Chris-zs5qb]

I think after 1988-1991 is when they started cleaning things up, plus the R62 cars weren't as affected

[@robroy6374]

the last graffiti'd train was on May 12, 1989 (R-27's on the C line). graffiti in the stations (mostly elevated stations) lasted well into the early 1990s.

[@sttm1283]

@@robroy6374 so 89 was when they painted the whole fleet white?

[@robroy6374]

@@sttm1283 October 1981 is when the first of the R-33/R-36 WF cars (on the #7 line) were painted white. The many of the other IRT cars (R14/15/17/21/22/26/28/29/33/36) were painted white, starting in the following year (1982).
