ᴴᴰ Original 2002 R142a 4 Train Announcements - To Woodlawn from New Lots Av

A Special look back in time to the year 2002. The R142 car classes are being delivered and slowly phasing out all SMEE type equipment from the IRT (numbered lines). Here are the original Automated announcements from the days when the 4 Line got the new R142a's. An interesting highlight as this was during the short time that the Grand Street shuttle was operating, so it was announced as a transfer at Bleecker Street.
Recordings made between 2002 and 2019 and compiled to make the original 2002 announcement program.

The man, the myth, the legend is back, baby.

Jessica’s announcements are the best I wish they would bring her original ones back on the Lexington Avenue Line

[@tmalone2530]

She’s the best. I wish she were on all the lines. She’s got the best voice.

[@andrewcampbell5129]

Man listening to her makes me wanna ride the (4) train all the way to the LAST STOP in the Bronx. Her transfer and connection need to be heard more especially during overnight and weekend hours.

[@evelynjimenez8340]

I like her voice that I want to go to Woodlawn ; Crown Heights Uitca Av and New Lots Av

[@jadenmuniz8817]

@@tmalone2530fr? She sounds messed up. MTA agreed and replaced it with Diane Thompson where possible

I love Jessica’s announcements too

Thank for putting up this video up, the 4 train is my favorite train 💪🏽💪🏽

[@Angel1224Transit]

17:36 yes my most favorite announcement of all time! *this is a bronx bound (4) train, the next stop is, 138th street- grand concourse. also welcome back mr railfan! goog to see u back and uploading

[@lance2290]

Nice to see you back. And nice to hear some of the Manhattan Bridge construction transfers for a long time. I don’t think I’ve heard those Atlantic Av/Borough Hall transfers since 2008 on one of the few trains that still had those old recordings installed. Hearing the transfer for the Grand St shuttle, I wonder if one was ever recorded for the short-lived 6th Avenue shuttle that ran in the latter half of ‘01. Thanks for posting. Happy Holidays.

[@Gueli844]

Glad that you're back!!

[@jadenmuniz8817]

Ah, you're back! I've been waiting over 7 months for another announcement clip!

@RYAN AYALA there's no program to my knowledge, although I did see a N rerouted over 6th Avenue and then sent up Not in service to 145 Street to turn around. Probably the closest and N train came to going to the Bronx.

Oh yes, I love the R142As announcements back when Jessica was younger she did a good job. But I don't know why MTA replace the announcements on the Lexington ave with diane's announcement. (The next stop is)

[@mikeythesoulace]

Heard they accidentally deleted her announcement

[@Ashes449]

@xHomuran Fr

[@dollartree207streetyard2]

The MTA needs to delete programs they don't use and make more space.

[@KyLogoTuber]

The real reason is because they try to make the announcement shorter because of dwell times. Which is stupid. And sadly she retired

Since the MTA wants to remove Jessica's next stop announcement, the MTA should consider using the old one to reduce dwell times.
