For all those commenting on how old everything looks, try to enjoy how beautiful the infrastructure is too. Sure the system could use a good repair, cleaning and upgrading of inefficient equipment. However, the stations and even sections of the tracks themselves, are full of ornamentation that we only reserve for the most prestigious projects today. And in addition, I guarantee that they managed to do it all at a taxpayer cost that would equal to significantly less than the most utilitarian designs we have come to expect today. Great video!

@j3lny4252 жыл бұрын
The slow speed is due to the idiotic 'skip stop'scheme operating on a single track. Each train must maintain a very long distance between it and the leading train.It may reduce crowding but does little for speed.
@de-fault_de-fault2 жыл бұрын
In fairness you're looking at a route that is notoriously slow. The Z in particular is just a partner to the J in a skip-stop pattern during rush hours that doesn't really accomplish anything other than slowing all the trains down; the similar 9, which was a counterpart to the 1, was eliminated 20 years ago but the Z soldiers on. On top of that, the Williamsburg Bridge has had draconian speed restrictions in place since an accident in 1995. In fact similar restrictions systemwide stemming from that one incident are the main thing that makes speed between stations one of the system's greatest weaknesses.

24:50 One of the few crossings at grade on the system. Nice action there! The trains veering to the left climb up to what was once the Myrtle Avenue El. Southbound trains could either take this current route, or continue on the abandoned structure you see above. This route is one of the oldest on the system. Past 121st Street, the line remained elevated to around 168th, I believe. That was torn down and the line rerouted to the Jamaica subway. The Eastern Division also cannot accommodate the 75ft train cars, like the R44s, 46s and 68s.

if you saw that little yellow bar at 18:20 lower and dont know what it is, i'll explain. When the signal isn't showing green, that bar, called a trip arm, sticks up a certain height. If a train were to pass that signal, the bar would hit a device on the train called a "trip cock". this trip cock applies the emergency brakes when struck by the trip arm. this system is sort of enforcing a speed limit in a way. in NYC, the trip arm can be on the right or left, depending on the "division". lettered trains have the trip on the left, and numbered trains have it on the right. the trip cock is mounted on the bogie corner, and some rolling stock have a trip cock on both sides. the reason they are painted yellow is for evidence in the case of a train striking it.

Ughhh, the J/Z skip stop is useless... need to Run the J train local all times and have the Z run express from Marcy to Broadway Junction... Timers also kill train speeds for no reason...
@the-renegade5 жыл бұрын
At Myrtle Avenue-BWAY you have to worry about the (M) switching to Metropolitan Avenue, the (J) switching at the local track to BWAY/Junction, and the (Z) staying on the EXP track to the aforementioned station... That's too much time to waste.

The skip-stop makes sense between 121st Street and Eastern Pkwy. but I agree that there should be real express service between Eastern Pkwy. and Marcy Avenue.

Most of this is Brooklyn and Queens. Manhattan, which you're probably thinking of, can't really be seen from the Subway in this direction because it's underground and then they are going away from it.

What's with the 3 sets of red lights at 11.04 but the platforms clear. Why not just move right into the platform and then stop like we do on London Underground

Yosef Yisrael Severe weather? It's amazing how weather can differ from place to place. That definitely wouldn't be severe weather down here in Florida. This is nothing compared to our afternoon summer thunderstorms. Some guy was complaining in LA that it was a WHOLE 80°f......... It's interesting.
