NYC Subway Nostalgia HD 60fps: NY Transit Museum IRT City Hall Loop Station Tour (7/19/17)

[@adrian3697]

The turning sound in the MTA subway is like music to my ears.

Yeah! Its sexy actually...

[@ortimate2543]

RIP: R142A 6 train :c 2000-2018, 18 years of great services.

[@douglaswells6679]

All of them went on the 7 line but the 7 line should have kept them for another 3 years but instead they took it off the 6

[@chrisdadrilla]

Amir's Railfanning Channel Your right most did go to the (4) train as well.

[@rubiprasad344]

It is still there in the 6 train but it is very rare

[@TheTransitNetwork]

Haha Im sure they waited for the R142A since the cab is more "exciting" xD

[@thebostonbusguy2265]

I would’ve waited for the R142A, that’s for sure!

[@Matthewxie5505]

Everybody getting bored at the tour guide reading a non fiction book to them 😂😂😂 Everybody interested at the train operator standing at the station’s platform ,😂😂😂

[@acelakid94]

2:08 She's cute and all, but why did she step closer to the train and get in the shot like she's at a photo shoot? I _know_ she saw the camera since she looked right at it. What, she think's she's made of glass or something? Get back behind the yellow line so we can get a proper shot would ya? Sorry, I just had to point that out. I'm not really into subway trains, but this was an interesting video.

[@FanRailer]

lol not everyone knows proper photo etiquette. You can't blame them.

i heard the song, and i said to myself, wait when was this?

[@yoselinduarte9122]

Despacito at 00:00 XD XD XD

[@royreynolds108]

It looks to me that the cars in use at the time this station was built had end platforms so the gap would not have been bad. The BU Gate cars could be used at this station.

[@cats0182]

The original IRT cars had enclosed end platforms (NOT open end platforms) with doors only at either end. The cars were shorter than today's cars so the train fit into the station's curve.

[@imdea678islivinginheven]

What train is on the left side 0:36

[@tf51d]

With a gap like that I can't see how they ever operated out of that station. (And I thought 14th St Gap was bad! :LOL:)

[@FanRailer]

Only the end doors were opened on the Lo-V cars when they serviced this station. The middle doors would stay closed.

[@AlvisWuMidNights]

I can not wait for the July 30th 2017 event by 11:00 AM :)

[@esmeraldagamez3562]

[@pains1]

They need to use r142a more on the 6

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Daily Railfan Why? Those R62As are doing fine on the 6 line.

[@blakemcnamara9105]

The 5 should be using the South Ferry Loop during off-hours in my opinion now that the 1 no longer goes there.

will there be a chance for the Low-V to stop there again?

[@jaycoboliveri809]

I miss the subway and the lirr

[@smrtc651productions]

Why is the cityhall station abandoned?

[@WorldOfExcitementE]

Because of the turn, it doesn’t allow for passengers to get on and off the trains safely since there’s a large gap.

[@fnihp30]

ExcitementWorld If that is the case, why was the station built? We’re the trains back to in the day able to get closer to the platform?

[@Railoffroader2]

And it also doesn’t accommodate 10 car trains.

[@cats0182]

@@fnihp30 The original IRT subway cars were shorter then today's cars. They had doors ONLY at the platform ends and I believe there were gap fillers on the platform to close the space. The station was designed to be the "flagship station" of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. It's design, the tile work, the series of arches with no pillars is like none other in the system at that time. It is still a magnificent piece of architecture.

[@GRANDGREENSABRE]

Why didn't you take that R62A that pulled into the station first ?

[@FanRailer]

Because we had to wait for a TSS, and he wasn't ready just yet.

[@Hotters9060]

GRANDGREENSABRE There are only 30 sets of the R142A trains running on the 6 line and during P.M. rush hours there about 40 sets running. There at least over 300 R62A trains running on the 6 line right now.
