[@ariesmichaelsayan4013]

@@nene1082they needed a train line to serve World Trade Center at all times. So they decided to have the E terminate at WTC at all times since it was a full time train and it could also serve all the local stops overnight along Queens Boulevard. The A was a full time express train and they decided to have the C do all the local stops along the A. A could do the local stops in Brooklyn overnight. I believe the K was also canceled when all these changes came along since they saw it as a duplicate service. Also, another thing was that the tunnels couldn’t handle the ACE service to Brooklyn. They felt that it would slow down service.

[@k.h.4698]

One of the things i love about the New York City Subway is how the sandhogs built it. Like Boston, they used cut-and-cover methods, back in the day, thereby resulting (fortunately) most of the tracks rather near the surface of the road. That is, “sub-street” instead of deep-tunnel, used by those later “boring” (sic) tunneling apple-corer machines. The evidence of this tunnel support structure, the steel columns and crossbeams is so clearly visible in these videos, particularly the foundations near track level and third-rail clearances on both sides of the outer running rails. For riders of the system, you can almost hop on and off trains, being just one staircase down (or up, in the case of elevated stations). That often-overlooked and forgotten convenience, is so different from other metro systems, like Washington’s Metro, where you can spend a large portion of your trip time on escalators. I remember a past Lex line ad which boasted, “Wall Street to Bloomie’s in 7 Minutes”. But finally, the most ingenious innovation that benefits passengers of the MTA was the incorporation of dedicated express tracks proximal to locals, easily “switchable” with median platforms. Again, these videos clearly demonstrate the “subway footprint” of station planning, as you whiz by local stations fixated between two or more aisles of steel columns, The resultand “strobe” shows seem uniquely available only to New York, thanks to the engineering mastery of the subway builders. Thank you for these videos, which brings these observations to light, at least as they do for me.

[@k.h.4698]

@Lighthouse in the Storm i am a close-enough yankee native to understand the operation and history. As far as being on top of maintenance, i think the MTA balance out what they can do with what little the U.S. is willing to spend these days on infrastructure…(Thank you, Republicans). Of course, they could raise fares significantly to get to that perfect maintenance target you desire.

[@XError40404]

Unfortunately with the newest projects like the Second Avenue Subway, the MTA seems to be ignoring what made the NYC Subway so great, building the tracks too deep and not building express tracks. Granted, at the moment express tracks are not necessary, but if there are future extensions to Brooklyn and the Bronx, then they become more important.

[@k.h.4698]

@@XError40404 well, at least they ARE building the 2nd Ave line, even if long overdue. To be able to build add-on and extension lines at this later date, would most likely limit the options worth considering.

[@k.h.4698]

@Lighthouse in the Storm i guess all that neglected maintenance and modernization would have been done by native NYers.

[@k.h.4698]

@Lighthouse in the Storm i agree there are aberrations that seem a problem now, as opposed to when these three centuries of operators drew them up, and a lot of that was probably piece-meal thinking then. The early nature of competing transit systems did not help to form a nice harmonic latticework today. To put in 4-track Second Ave tracks and stations would certainly have exponentially increased the total cost, beyond what money they did get. How would one explain all the other deferred maintenance and delayed other improvements that people clammer for? People say they now want platform doors on the stations because of the recent attack. Everybody wants something, and nobody gets all they want. That’s life in the city, and i appreciate the subway for what it accomplishes every day, 24 hours every day.

This train is the second fastest express in my opinion, beaten out only by the 2/3 which can get up to 55 or even 60mph very occasionally. CBTC prevents anything higher than 55, while on B'way/7 Ave the 2/3 can go above 55 if the driver knows what they're doing. Love this train though.

[@christopherszewczyk9683]

Does CBTC not allow you to control the speed of the train anymore?

[@ice319]

@@christopherszewczyk9683 CBTC is like driving a car, but the second you drive over the speed limit, the car SCREAMS at you to slow down or it'll shut off the engine in the middle of the highway and alert the nearest patrol car to come and give you a ticket lol. It limits the speed in a way that is distracting and a nuisance. The one good thing about it is that it does allow trains to get closer to each other in delays. The old system gives a cushion of two signal blocks behind a train. And a signal block varies in length. With CBTC, you can get as close as 50 feet to the train in the station, which does make stops somewhat faster.

[@xiaohu3859]

Something worth mentioning: Wayside CBTC actually begins at 04:45. The tiny white boxes mounted between rails are electronic beacons knowns as transponders in the US, and balises (French for "beacons") elsewhere. When CBTC is in operation, these balises, along with dead reckoning, help trains find their precise locations. Trains continuously report their locations to some central computers called "zone controllers" or ZCs via wireless connections. As the ZC know exactly where the trains are, if there's a following train, it will receive some sort of permissions to move safely till the end of the trailling train from the ZC, known as "movement authorities" or MAs. As've mentioned by @OpenCircleFleet_Gaming , when a commucating train (one with an on and operative onboard CBTC device) is approaching a "legacy" physical signal location, and it has the MA to bypass that signal, the ZC in charge will force the signal displaying a "flashing green" aspect, regardless of its actual status. This leads to an interesting question: why the signals don't actually flash, till 06:40 ? Consider thie following scenario: A train has just initiated its onbard CBTC controller, got its location from track-mounted balises, connected to the ZC and reported its location. Is it enough for the ZC to give that train the MA to move? No. Possibilities are that there're several non-communicating trains ahead, where the ZC doesn't know exactly where they are. To exclude these possibilities, CBTC uses something called "sifting mechanism". Specific track segments (usually platform tracks) are desiged for "sifting" out non-commucating trains. These track segments, as well as nearby ones, are equipped with legacy wayside train detection mechanisms (track circuits or axle couters). As the train proceeds through the segment and eventually approaches the boundary, should there be a "hidden" non-communicating train ahead, it would have been pushed into the next track segment, triggering wayside detection. So, as long as the reported location of the communicating train is closer to the boundary than a minimum train length (a single train car, a married pair or something else depending on system configuration), the ZC can safely assure there're no "hidden" trains ahead, and grant MAs.

[@wtaenyc]

Another nice ride! I'm beginning to see the difference from the solid green signals and the ones that are flashing green. I first saw the CBTC signals in use on the 7 train on my last visit to NYC before the pandemic. I guess some train fans wanted to hear the station announcements at each stop; that's okay by me. Once we entered the Manhattan portion, I was hoping to see an A express pass us by somewhere along the line. No such luck. But on the Queens portion, there were quite a few locals and express trains in each direction. My first experience on the E train was on the recently retired R-32's about ten years ago. Later, the R-44's came along, then the newest trains took over, the R-160's. Keep up the good work! Looking for an experience on the 3 express, the last place to see the R-62's!

[@arthasmenethil89]

Amazing video, finally got to see what the E's route looks like!! I ride it back and forth from Manhattan to Queens for work every day, and cool to see how it works. It's interesting how easy it is for the E to get screwed over by F trains merging on and off its tracks near Union Turnpike and again near 36 St, as well as the M getting priority leaving Queens Plaza to cross in front of it. I also noticed CBTC does not work too well when approaching a red signal at the end of station platforms -- like at 22:39 where the M is crossing over to E tracks, the CBTC slows the E train to a crawl entering Queens Plaza trying to inch up to the edge of the platform (where it would be stopping anyway, regardless of the red signal). It seems the CBTC slows the train -- thinking it would want to pass this signal where the M is occupied ahead -- when in reality it should just allow normal station speed because it is stopping no matter what.

[@wtaenyc]

Great point there. You are right, it should still allow the train to enter the station fully since it's still making a station stop anyways.

If you freeze it at 24:13 You will notice two other separate interlockiing tracks.. The middle track is for the G train that at one point was extended to 71 continental Ave Forrest Hills station. Now it terminates at Court Square.. and relays back to Brooklyn.. Making only two stops in Queens.. The right interlocking track is for the R train which interlocks with the N and W train coming into the tunnel from the Queens Borough Plaza station.. The next stop On the R would be 59th St. and Lexington Ave.. Manhattan.. The G train was truncated when the M train replaced it.

When I used to live in New York 1 was Far Rockaway the other I forget the exact stop but I do remember passing Shea Stadium when they were building it back in the middle 60s, I also used to ride the subway all over the city 😅

You talking about the best sleep riding home drunk from the city??? Lol! Nah but there's just nothing like NYC. The good bad ugly and beautiful! Nothing like it. This just brings me home to Southside Jamaice as I now reside in North Carolina. Miss this life. Really do.

[@wtaenyc]

We’re honored to bring back those memories for you. We can only imagine how much you miss the city and it’s our pleasure to bring you an experience of your city, that you’ve never seen before. Thank you so much for your support.

Brooklyn bound M train interlocking with the express track at Queens Plaza 22:40 As the E train enters the station..

[@wtaenyc]

Great observation. How did you like our M video?

[@nycyg]

i love the sounds my god

Happy you like it!

Cool hearing the train operator blowing the horn at 45:05.

[@wtaenyc]

That was very cool indeed.

Sorry just saw the answer. Thanks. Great videos.

All good. Thank you so much

Thank you for doing the E train experience! My E train experience is between Roosevelt Av and Lower Manhattan

[@wtaenyc]

Thank you for sharing as well as supporting. It is greatly appreciated.

[@nomanfest6054]

Kew grdens union trnpke is my home station, and the E is a prefect line, because its express

[@nomanfest6054]

And super fast in queens!

[@sarge6870]

For a while, mine was the E/F at Forest Hills.

[@wtaenyc]

Thank you so much for sharing. We are elated to give you your home station from through this experience.

[@aserenezephyr]

Great video! Got lucky with no HVAC so we can experience all of the motor notes in great clarity!

[@wtaenyc]

Glad you get to enjoy that. It’s truly special.

[@ninochekhoshvili9332]

Part 1 of MY vision for new lines. PART 1: THE K TRAIN. The K would terminate at World Trade Center, Southern Terminal. It would go 8th Avenue Local along the C local train. (The A and E would go 8th Avenue Express) and would stop at ALL the 8th Avenue stops. (Basically like the C). Here is where things get interesting. The K would branch off from the A and C after 50th Street, somewhere between 50th Street and 59th Street - Columbus Circle. It would go along with the 1, making every stop the 1 does. (Basically going local). It would branch off from the 1, making a stop in the process, 140th Street. It would meet up with the A, B, C and D trains at 145th Street, terminating there. Hope you enjoyed! Buh - Bye!

[@wtaenyc]

Thank you so much for sharing. We shall wait and see what the future holds for this line/system.

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

Happy new year love it

[@wtaenyc]

Sending positive blessings to you and your family. Thank you so much.

[@goodnyc]

My old line I used to ride the Q111 bus from Rochdale Village to the Jamaica Center station 🚉. Great video!! Hope you can do all the lines. PATH train too.

[@wtaenyc]

We can’t wait for you to experience them.

[@petergallucci8725]

I absolutely love these videos (having ridden consists like Lo-Vs, AB Standards and the R1-9s where you could look out the front window). I sometimes wish the camera angle was a bit higher when entering a station in order to see the whole platform. Otherwise, these will be invaluable for younger riders who no longer have the front-window view (unless they're on a fan trip). I eagerly await the next video. Many thanks again.

[@wtaenyc]

We appreciate you for your kind words. You made a valid point ; having the camera higher would have been amazing but unfortunately, there was no way for our engineers to bring you this experience from a higher angle for each train so we had to settle for this angle that is universal for each equipment. Kids unfortunately won’t get the chance to appreciate the front window view anymore and therefore won’t appreciate these videos as much but we hope they can at least appreciate the system and how amazing it truly is.

[@petergallucci8725]

@@wtaenyc I understand your point. You do use the best place available to anchor the camera. And yes, the most important thing is to give young viewers the experience of looking out the front window, which in your videos traveling between stations, is An Experience! Thank you again, and I will enjoy your videos (hopefully, we'll see the #2, 3, 4, and 5 train in Brooklyn (I have very little if any experience on those lines - which is why I enjoyed the L train, which I never rode past Lorimer Street).

[@jth385]

Crystal clear as ever, looking forward for the next instalment, which line will it be???

[@wtaenyc]

We appreciate your support.

[@CraftyFoxe]

Wow, the footage is shot outside the train?

[@christopherzdebski5259]

I’m thinking there’s a camera on or underneath the coupling housing! I mean a view like this Come On! Fabulous!

[@wtaenyc]

Yes it is. We hope you like it.

Great guess. We’re glad you like it.

CBTC is only active along separated segments of the route. There are stretches with only fixed block signaling under Queens Blvd.

Its crazy how the E train is basically always underground

Love that analogy

[@AngelusBrady]

You mean underground?

[@TrainfanJ]

Greetings my friends! (E)xcellent video as all your videos always are 👍. I dont know why but I got a funny feeling the 5 or the M line could be next lol. The M because of May, Mothers Day, Memorial day lol 😉. The 5 because of... Cinco de Mayo, maybe. Need I say more lol. Blessings 🙏

Coney Island bound F train Leaving 75th Ave and interlocking with the express downtown track..8:19

[@wtaenyc]

How’d you like the F video?

[@TheSmitty347]

The Staten Island railroad would definitely be good one……let’s definitely try and make that happen!

[@wtaenyc]

We can’t wait for you to experience it

[@AngelusBrady]

I love how starting at Queens Plaza you can see the M train in front of the E.

[@wtaenyc]

Great observation. Guess we can understand now why the train experiences delays/slow movements.

[@AngelusBrady]

@@wtaenyc Exactly. Although I was expecting to see an F train in front of the E also on the express track. I always wondered how close the two can get during rush hour.

[@AngelusBrady]

Upon rewatch I have now noticed the F train at 8:03 when the E starts going past the 75th Street station.

[@MartinMiller1]

Excellent!
