⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ NYC Subway Front Window View - Vintage Low-V Looping 239th Street Yard to South Ferry Loop

[@honeytan814]

Hearing the PURE JOY in the children’s voices is what really made this video so enjoyable. What an interesting ride through the yard!!👍🏽👌🏾

[@eeejaytrainz2902]

The kids going crazy over the Redbird is hilarious 😂

[@leecornwell5632]

There is a couple of the R62AS in the yard aswell and the R127s.

[@leecornwell5632]

Sometimes when I ride the 2 train to Wakefield 241 street and stopping at Gun hill road it reminds me of the old 8 3rd Avenue Elevated line coming in and out of Gun hill road 🛣️ . Alots of people are missing the old 8 3rd Avenue Elevated line. It's not the same anymore with out the 8 3rd Avenue Elevated line. Nothing cannot replace or take over the 3rd Avenue Elevated line anymore. No matter how much they run buses over there.

[@tanishaglasgow8098]

Wow

[@jokerinthebronx]

Gave me hope for the future.

[@Jewey]

I know right🤣

[@BronXLimited]

Yes, Old South Loop even tho it's abandoned it can still be used

[@roughcut627]

it was abandoned and vandalized, from a clip posted a few months ago. Glad they cleaned it up and restored the moving platforms.

This brings back a lot of memories of when I, as a kid used to ride in the front of the train and get this view (although not as bright in the late '40's and early '50's)! Thanks for sharing!

[@donaldblock640]

The ride through the train yard was awesome, and the kids reaction, redbird! redbird! and at the end kid says "I want to go again

[@davidng2336]

Loved it when the people got excited at the Redbirds lmao. They also really cleaned the South Ferry loop station prior to this trip. Hopefully more trips go to this station!

[@jimpern]

At 14:35, there is a building on the left (now housing a "Dollar General") that my dad had a business in during the 1950s. He sometimes took me into work with him on Saturdays, and as a little kid, I'd stand in the doorway and watch the trains go by overhead. Some were Lo-V trains just like this one! (I recognized them by their fishbelly silhouettes and whiney motors). To think that, 65 years later, the same type of train went by on the same structure! Thanks for the video!

[@peskypigeonx]

This is the most entertaining commentary I’ve heard on this channel lol

[@Qboro66]

Lil' Subway Buffs😄 Me at their age: That brand new train is called a wha? R46?🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jokerinthebronx]

Thanks for this! The yard loop is amazing!

[@dream.machine]

Amazing footage! I'm so happy the LO-V around the 239st Yard! I always wanted to see how it was. I love the flange noises in the NYC Subway around sharp curves!

[@DWhytePA]

Nothing like the sound of a Low-V in a tunnel. Sounds from me being a child growing up in NYC during the '50s-60s.

[@Drof1]

I’ve lived in New York all my life, and still do. I’ve ridden the subway all my life, and I still love the subway. No matter how dirty, I always found it so cool. My favorite car was always the r44 or r68.

Brings back many memories riding on the front car. I wish to be on a ride like that someday when I visit my hometown of NYC again. Love the excitement of the kids! My autistic son would’ve been thrilled to be there! Thanks for this awesome video!

[@mattc528]

Finally a view of the 2 train route in till it gets to chambers st. Then parts of the 1 train to south ferry. I have been to that loop before a couple of times. The floor moves out and back in.

[@robertgerber2533]

Great video. Excellent quality

[@Jeff-uj8xi]

Wonderful......I love the sounds of the Lo-V cars in the tunnels. For years I traveled up to New York City during the Christmas Holiday Season to ride on the vintage subway trains. Sadly, I'm old, ill, disabled and home-bound now and my days of riding the vintage subway trains are over. This video was especially enjoyable to me. Thank you. Maybe somebody could explain to me why this non-stop special run never caught up to a regular service train. What was the fare for this special run? Also, where was the starting and dropping off station for the passengers?

[@lionsloin7869]

Jeff, I'm an old timer too, and enjoy these runs. I'm guessing that this train was slow enough so that it would not catch up to any regular revenue trains. Just a guess. I used to ride these old IRT trains too, and remember the sound they make.

[@luislaplume8261]

The new South Ferry Terminal is like a replica of the El terminal for the 2nd,3rd, 6th, 9th, Ave. Els I track layout.

good job!

[@BernardGreenberg]

This is magnificent, pure joy, especially the children's voices reminding me of my own time at RFW's 60 yrs ago. The other highlights for me were beautiful views of the new E 180 St Interlocking and Nereid Ave and the yard. Magnificent! Thank you so much!

[@MrRustyBob]

Whooow. Sounds like these kids are all jacked up on mountain dew. I'd be like, let me off here. I'll walk the rest of the way.

[@Calamitybesttdxboss]

yesss after 2 years Front Window view

[@jokerinthebronx]

The kids knowing what a Redbird is and totally geeking out gave me more hope for the future than the Government ever has. 50:58. If you're a motorman, throwing it into multiple HAS to be a great feeling. 72 - Times Square is one of the best runs.

Great video, never saw the interior of 239 yd. or the south ferry end since 9/11 , are there videos of trains passing the demolition of wtc during cleanup and rebuilding? Love hearing those trains accelerate. Different sound from above ground and with train underground.

[@kevinwong6588]

Other than the modern raised ceiling, the Cortlandt station is still more or less the 2002 built station shell and cut-and-cover tunnel built to original Dual Contract specs.

Too bad they didn't go down the Lex and access the loop from Bowling Green.
