New York City Subway 5 Express Train (to EastChester) Front View

[@jokerinthebronx]

57:15. Right there. The 4 takes the switch to the left. The 5 starts diving right after that and basically swings 90 degrees, from going Northbound to Eastbound. 1:12:32. Another key interlocking. The 2 takes the switch to the left and heads to White Plains Road, passing underneath the Southbound 5 track.

[@wtaenyc]

Great observation. It is truly quite amazing to see how the other two trains separate from this one at those interlockings.

Thanks i always wondered where the 5 or 2 train came from when i leave 149.

@@mariotorres6287sb from 125-86 depending on the operator, trains will hit 50mph between 110 and 96. Sb leaving 86 there is a timer that will clear at 30mph depends on the train op. Nb between 42nd and 59 upon clearing the timer will hit 47mph again depends on the train operator. Nb bbch-14th it depends on the train operator some will hit 42mph before the timers. The timer after 86th sb is to prevent trains from over-speeding due to the downgrade. But unfortunately the new generation of train ops tend to stay on the slow side to prevent write-ups and station overruns. They rush the new generation of train ops through training. Most of these new train ops have no idea how the train characteristics are. No one train is the same. R142 #6686 may have touchy brakes while R142 #6925 may be a fast train with weak service brakes. The NTT trains a lot of the new gen ops pop and stop, very Noticeable in the smee equipment.

​@@wtaenycYesss I miss that

[@anonymous3738]

This service is notorious for having three separate bottlenecks. In order in the northbound direction are below: -9:34 at Franklin Ave: The Nostrand Ave Line is a split from the local tracks so the 5 needs to cross over the local tracks to get to the express tracks which can delay 3 trains. -57:16 at 149th St: Although a full flying junction, the curve is extremely tight and 2 and 4 trains have to occasionally wait. -1:12:16 at E 180th St. This is only an issue for peak-direction express trains because the Dyre Ave Line only connects to the local tracks so like at Franklin Ave, express trains have to cross over the local tracks. Because of this, it might be better off if the 5 is eliminated and the Dyre Ave Line becomes a continuation of the Second Ave Line and then the Q or T can run there instead once it’s complete by extending it to the Bronx and linking to it. Plus, after 149th St’s elevators are complete, wheelchair users can transfer too. As for Franklin Ave, cross-platform transfers automatically eliminate any issues.

Dont really ride trains anymore as I have a car now. But I do remember riding this everyday after school and after work a few years later. I know it's because there are a lot of curves but I always despised how slow the 5 express train is in the Bronx, especially after 174th street. As you see in the video, the 2 train that became visible as early as Intervale Av/Simpson St, still manages to catch up to the 5 train and even gets priority to leave first at East 180th. You really only save like 6 minutes riding the 5 express over the 2 local. I am a bus operator now out of Gun Hill depot and it would be cool to have a camera attached to my bus to show the world my journey on some routes lol.

[@wtaenyc]

Thank you so much for sharing this perspective. It is quite interesting how the 2 train is able to catch up to the express in this way.

This obviously is a PM Rush Hour run. During the midday, both trains stop at all stations.

Well done!

[@the_elmeister]

U do fantastic. Hope you make returns to the routes in the future like how Chicago does their full rides. You never know what you might expect in a full ride. They do updated versions at some point and many people who do runs number their runs such as #1 or #2 and so on. In this case, you would label this version as West Farms Express 1. Now the version you did on the 2 line that is not the peak direction local like it would be in the rush-hour. When you did the 2, that is when the 2 and 5 trains both run local in the Bronx so that it’s just a normal 2 train ride. If it was a peak direction local run on the 2 you would’ve done it during rush hour. Eventually, you will need to do the peak direction local run on the 2 during rush hour in both directions same with the 5, but you will also need to do the 5 during the midday at some point as well when it makes all stops in the Bronx.

I always wonder why the announcements say "Transfer is available to the (4) or (5) train" at 138th Street-Grand Concourse, despite the fact that both trains stop at 125th Street and 149th Street-Grand Concourse.

[@wtaenyc]

Great observation and interesting question. 🤔🫡

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

Because the 4 Train has its own seperate platform and stations at 149th Street-Grand Concourse on the Jerome Avenue Line, and the 5 Train also has its shared platform and stations with the 2 Train on the White Plains Road/Bronx Line. 5 Trains also end/begin service at Eastchester on the Dyre Avenue Line after parting ways with the 2 Train at East 180th Street.

Now, may we have a presentation pertaining to the OTHER direction on the Dyre Avenue line?!

[@jaredjenkins4272]

Welcome To An Experience, I give this train video to Eastchester Dyre Avenue a 20 out of 20! Can you try to do this video again, but when the 5 train makes local stops; from Jackson Avenue to East 180th Street?

Tyfs 📝🏆🫡

[@fear3bk]

Nice video. I usually take the 4 or 5 when I go to the Bronx from Brooklyn cause its the fastest.

[@wtaenyc]

Thank you so much and thanks for sharing 🫡

[@Zuxiro]

Why grand central gets crowded during AM & PM Rush hour but not as much during evening hours?

[@wtaenyc]

Great question and observation. Maybe because most folks have made it to their destination whether it be work, school or tours but what would be your first guess?

[@Zuxiro]

My first guess would be because most passengers don't necessarily ride as much during night hours or it can be due to safety reasons I oftenly see people who board at union sq and then gets off at 86 st.

[@Symbiote-hq6pn]

You have any plans on any LIRR or MNRR front view videos??

[@wtaenyc]

The team is currently working on this possibility. It would be an honor 🫡

@@wtaenyc that would be amazing. There’s plenty of them already uploaded but none have the quality you guys provide. Can’t wait!

Did you know that Three of CUNY Colleges has their own Subway stations: For Brooklyn College, Located at Flatbush Avenue. For Medgar Evers College, Located at President Street and Franklin Avenue. For New York City Tech College of Technology, Located at Jay Street - Borough Hall. Isn't it obvious three colleges of CUNY are only located in Brooklyn except for Kings borough Community College. : )

i take that comment back. the first 15 minutes were blurry but the rest of the video was excellent

[@wtaenyc]

Thanks for sharing. This video took longer than expected to process and so, we imagine the entire video should be great quality at this time.

Welcome to the 5 train.

How'd you like it?

Theres an audio and video fail at 55:03

When are you going to do a trip from dire Ave to Flatbush

finally ive been waiting for the 5 train lexington avenue Express but at least the front view is ok

What was your favorite part about the video?

@@wtaenyc The lexington avenue Express is better than taking the 7th Avenue Express

Can you make a vid operating an R211 on the C line?

Awesome Northbound 5 train video!!!!! Are you gonna be doing the Pelham Bay Park bound 6 soon?

Thank you so much. We will discuss your suggestion with the team as it relates to that video’s release. 🫡

Are there any tail tracks after he last stop in Brooklyn?? It seems that there could be a problem if too many trains arrive in a short period of time.

Do the trains from the Nostrand Avenue route have to cross the tracks from the 4 train at Franklin Avenue?

Question. Do you drive these trains or do you just tell operators that you put a camera on the train?

Great question. We are a team that has the necessary resources to make this possible. How do you like the content

[@JesusismySaviour33]

@@wtaenyc i absolutely love it. This is the first channel I have seen do it from the outside, which means you get clearer audio and cool sounds of the subway running on the tracks.
