NYC Subway HD 60fps: Snowy Day Along The BMT Brighton Line (2/10/17)

[@StephinOut]

This Newkirk platform is TINY! And you're filming with snow on the ground!? You are crazy brave, darlin'!

[@jaydenh922]

Actually, it’s normal size, but it gets smaller near the end.

[@Snowy-oq4ur]

@@jaydenh922yeah, that’s what he meant I think

[@anonymous3738]

If it’s too narrow for an elevator to be installed, maybe two narrow ramps will do, one for going up and one for going down.

[@jimanianortonified7015]

I used to operate those B trains and those northbounds used to really speed up rolling down that hill between Avenue H and Newkirk. Always worried about overrunning the platform.

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

What was it like operating those trains? I low-key used to dream about operating one as a kid, back when I used to live in NY.😄

[@benschaeffer8102]

Newkirk Plaza (if I was heading directly home)/Avenue H (if I had after-school extracurriculars at Brooklyn College) were my two home Subway stations from 1973-1992 growing up in the South Midwood/Ditmas Park neighborhood. Avenue M was my station stop for where I went to high school (I went to Murrow). Then I lived in South Park Slope (ironically close to P.S.107 "John Kimball" where I'd gone to elementary school, K-5th grades; junior high school was out of the country in London, UK) near the F & G lines/15th Street Prospect Park station during my "gap years" in between high school & college. Later on, (after I went out of state to college & grad school both up in New England in Massachusetts & Connecticut) when I moved back to NYC & into Manhattan & was living in the East Village on E.12th St. & Avenue A, I was near the L line/1st Avenue station. I moved out to the San Francisco/Bay Area permanently in 2004. Now BART is my subway. 😂 I still carry all those MTA memories with me though. 😁😉

Something about the B being express and the Q being local doesn’t sit right with my soul.

[@GrowlingMotors]

The B is a part time train, so if it handled local on the Brighton line, then Local stops would be part time stations too

[@Samstrong-3]

The Q would have 21 stops then

That sounds like the R211 with that noise because it reminded me of a Ad that spelled the word noise with moise 😅

[@westwasbest]

This is a pretty scene, and an interesting system, as somebody who lives in Upstate New York and has three vehicles I could never see relying on a subway to get things done, how do you get your animal to the vet? How do you get ice cream home before it melts? How do you bring home appliances or things of large-volume that you purchased? They seem to take away so much Independence, the only train we have up here is an Amtrak train which goes up and down the East Coast, as much as I love trains I wouldn't want to depend on them for my daily transportation.

[@rgalesnyc]

You really have to think about urban living a lot of what we need is within walking distance of where we are. Literally there's several vets within a mile to half a mile radius. The ice cream shop is literally a few blocks away. Delivery is also a big part of life. Trust if you brought your car downstate and had to sit in traffic and wait to find parking you wouldn't move it either unless it's the weekend. A lot of postwar towns were spread out and built around the interstate system New York City predates all of that. Just a different environment

Hm, nice shot, Michael Kam. Good catch with with the howling R68A train cars and the trains departing and arriving, as well as the bonus footage of the sparrow (bird). However, I find the "speeding into station" on the uptown (B) train to be quite disappointing TBH. Any further explanations, besides the snow causing this?

I always wonder why these stations are so close together. I mean trains are supposed to be the more faster and quicker options. They have buses for such short distance.

To give everyone a chance. And they have express trains. A train holds 8-10x more people than a bus.
