Tour of NYC #7 Line. Part 1. Hudson Yards to 82nd Street. Beautiful day/fab twilight. 2/10/22

[@Papichoochoo1969]

As you can tell on my profile pic, I live as well as work on the 7 line as a train operator for the last 28 years. It never gets old doing what I do since it’s all I ever wanted to do since I was 3 years old. Thanks for acknowledging my line and continue to do what you love as well. Take care and please be safe.

I rode the 7 line since the time I was a baby into my 20's and it will always be my favorite! I think it was every city kids dream to grow up and be a subway conductor or engineer and you managed to make that happen! Live the dream and I hope things get better for NY!

[@nah_144]

The 7 line is like the Victoria line in London. Astonishing headways between trains. Beautiful looking trains etc.

[@3985uprr]

Even if I don’t do any other subway lines, at least I captured what I consider the best subway line in New York City

[@Mediaprosper]

I really enjoyed the focus on the stations. I haven't lived near NYC in decades, but love watching good subway videos. And it's hard to take bad pics of the 7 train. Nice work.

[@scottyerkes1867]

Love the 7 train!! I've never ridden the entire line end to end. Great video!! Thanks for the memories.😀😀♥️♥️

[@jasonthompson1474]

Love the International Express. Your comment towards the end sounds like the beginning of a series to me! 😁 I'd definitely watch it.

[@danielwaitzman2118]

Thank you for another great video! In addition to its fine scenery, the Flushing-Corona El has an interesting history, as one of the surviving branches of the Second Avenue El, and a line jointly operated east of Queensborough Plaza by the BMT and IRT until 1949. It featured three routes: trains from the Queensborough Interborough Subway (as today); wooden Manhattan Elevated cars from the Second Avenue El, via the Queennsboro Bridge and terminating at Willet's Point Blvd; and wooden BMT elevated cars--later Q cars---shuttling between Main Street and Queensborough Plaza, where they connected with wide-bodied BMT steel cars. The Queensborough Plaza station used to be twice as wide, to accommodate all these lines; the north side of the station was used by the BMT. The changes that Long Island City has undergone are truly staggering.

Hey! I was built in the 70's too! I think the R46-er's are beautiful! Like seeing an old friend ;)

[@kirkzevola5004]

Sweet R142A Convert and R188 catches

[@stephens7816]

I haven’t ridden the 7 in fifteen years. It was good to see it again in this great video. 😃 Thank you for it.

[@AA_8184_1]

Love these detailed along the lines videos with shot with the commentary and history. Well done as always!

[@NYCSKYSCRAPERS-hp6pm]

Thank you friend for this, love the IRT Flushing line!

[@evangouldtransit]

this is awesome.! at the 19:43 mark, you can see some M7s speeding down the Penn approach, looks like approach four.!

[@ozgirl45]

What a wonderful video! Thank you! I love NYC and the subway. I took the 7 back in 2019 from Times Square to see the new Hudson Yards station (amazing). It has been difficult to cross the border from Canada recently and I miss the city but I finally made it back to Manhattan last December - Bryant Park is magical in the holiday season. My daughter lived for a few years in Washington Heights and I loved taking the A or 1. You can’t beat having a mariachi band come on board, in full costume, when you least expect it! Or be on a train with people, in full costume, going to the medieval fair at Fort Tryon Park! What amazing views at 31 minutes and 1:13. And I love the bagpiper! It brings out the Scottish in me! I saw a young guy playing bagpipes on Broadway near Lincoln Center a couple of years ago - in a tshirt, shorts and hiking boots. So NYC.

[@GamingwithJay0001]

Ah yes the 7 lines I remember this line i haven't been on it since 2019 but its still a sight to view the line

[@railfanlondonwhaley9521]

I enjoyed that video 👍👍

[@georgemurphy2579]

As a kid visiting Long Island City, I remember the very L O U D ... R11 and R12 cars on the-then Flushing Line (prior to the Worlds Fair cars)

[@ernestpassaro9663]

Great video

[@SOUTHBEATS]

1:12:14 / 1:15:36, what a nice view! LOVE IT

[@nickcef]

They were always talking about extending the line from Hudson Yards to Secaucus, NJ. It almost happened but got canceled at the last minute. Darn it!

[@mtanyctfan8100]

The N and W used to have modern trains called the r160s but they got transferred to the E F G and R lines

[@loocpoc]

My usual ride on the 7 is going to Citi Field when the Dodgers and Phillies are there.

[@trainspottersforlife9182]

With CBTC r188s have a special increase speed and arrival and departure

[@doctorvoiceover6582]

I drive Redbirds on the 7 in World of Subways #4

[@dinocrank7007]

Great content I drive tube trains on London Underground Metropolitan Line.

[@3985uprr]

Would love to tour some of those lines also. In my opinion and many others as well the number seven line is New York’s best subway line or should I say Tube line

[@seven8n235]

My question, since so many instances of people getting shoved on to the tracks...could you survive if you laid low in the center between the rails? Assuming there was not time to climb out.

[@3985uprr]

If you’re not too heavy and you can hold your breath you probably would survive but it would be shocking to say the least

[@Leon-gm6xh]

You have to come to philly and film the Broadstreet Subway.

[@3985uprr]

I generally prefer outdoor subway lines. They only have Fern Rock. It would’ve done it if the Brill cars were still running

[@ernestpassaro9663]

Don’t stand to close to the yellow line lots of crazies in nyc lived there over 50 years !

[@3985uprr]

I am always aware of my surroundings.

[@saml4849]

Great video. Are 11 car trains standard on the 7 line or just during rush hour?

[@AshrafAli1]

11 cars are standard on the 7 train, 10 cars on all other numbered lines

[@loocpoc]

I want to say DC Metro Medical Center station is one of the deep ones

[@ernestpassaro9663]

Used to take the 7 train to shea with my dad as a kid he was a big met fan

[@bobrech3661]

Beautiful views RR. If you fell off the platform onto the trach, would you be electrocuted?

[@bobrech3661]

Sorry, track.

[@3985uprr]

The third rail yes. The track no.

[@samuellinowski1608]

Not sure why you didn't film the actual train ride (at least above ground) view as per usual, quite disappointing to say the least.

[@NYCSKYSCRAPERS-hp6pm]

R46 Cars to be replaced by R211's.

[@3985uprr]

When???

[@AshrafAli1]
