I post videos of train routes in the NYC metropolitan area. I don't have a set schedule for uploading videos. Sometimes, I post videos once a week. Other times, I may go a few weeks without posting videos. I have a life outside of UA-cam (work, meeting women, exercising).
I make videos because I'm a railfan. These videos are available for your viewing pleasure free of charge. There is no Patreon on my channel. I welcome feedback, constructive criticism, and requests (within reason).
I try to make my videos as interesting as possible. If a train is operating slow or is in a tunnel where you can’t see anything then I’ll edit that out. There are also a few other things that I edit out of my videos (people using the n-word, disorderly conduct, babies crying, people coughing). I want the viewing experience to be pleasant.
Enjoy the ride!

NYC Subway R160 E express train 179 Street to Queens Plaza
The E train runs from Jamaica Center, Queens to World Trade Center, Manhattan. It runs express on Queens Boulevard during daytime hours and early evenings. It makes local stops on Queens Boulevard during late evenings and overnights (I've taken the E local. That's not a fun experience).
During rush hours, some E trains operate to or from 179 Street/Hillside Avenue on the F line. This is done to alleviate congestion at Jamaica Center and to give 179 Street passengers a one seat ride to/from Lexington Avenue/53rd Street and Court Square, which are major transfer points.
In this clip, a Manhattan-bound E train is operating express from 179 Street to Queens Plaza.

New York City Subway 120th Anniversary Lo-V Nostalgia Ride
Переглядів 167Місяць тому
On October 27, 2024, the New York City Subway celebrated its 120th birthday. In order to commemorate the occasion, the New York Transit Museum operated the iconic Lo-V subway car from the decommissioned South Ferry station to the Bronx via the 2 line and then back to Manhattan via the 5 line. The train terminated at Brooklyn Bridge City Hall. I hope you enjoy the trip to the past.

Great memories going to New York sporting events before midtown direct came along. Thanks for posting. I remember the PATH fair was 30 cents in 1973
You're lucky you get to go, I missed the October 27th one and today the November 16th one is happening but i can't go sadly :( 😭Great video though.
how long is the ride to brooklyn bride, I may check out the train there
@@PLANESTATION-q2j The whole ride was 2 hours
“Only tha’ first faw cars will open at Richmond Valley.” LOVE IT 😍
Very nice good video thanks
Thxs for ride
When was this filmed
@@Thomas-ep3zl This was filmed when I visited Toronto on July 4th weekend.
Very nice video
I actually rode the BxM10 on Saturday evening for the first time from Eastchester Rd/Pelham Pkwy to 124th St & 2nd Ave
Yes! Im willing to go on BxM7 This October. Haven’t been to Manhattan Since December 2022!
Ahh I always wanted to ride the Ronkonkoma Branch Greenport LI. Someday I’ll do it

Ah the good old revived "Ronkonkoma Rocket", I hope someday I will be able to ride this train in the near future. Great footage!
how does such a small city receive such a large station?
@@johncrest-r6n I wouldn’t call Toronto small. Over 2 million people live there.
@@Leonard_Wilson Small compared to other cities in the US.
@@johncrest-r6nThere are four cities in the US that are larger by the proper limits. Nine by metro area. Out of all of the American metropolitan areas that are larger than Toronto, only the busiest station of one has more ridership. (NYC)

How come the video’s thumbnail was taken at Penn Station though? The train was going to Brooklyn and not Manhattan.
@@elevatortoiletandtransitfa9258 That was a clearer picture than the ones I took at Atlantic. The platforms at Penn are wider and better lit.
From Hoenn to the Airport
Thanks alot
Cool video!
Let's ride
Kid came in and ruined my view 😢
The kid and his father got on at the second stop. I let the kid have the window to himself- I didn’t want him to feel bad.
TBH I think Babylon is a cool place
I remembered doing the NJCL once back in 2022 from New York Penn Station to Asbury Park, but I had to transfer at Long Branch for the shuttle
R46 is by far the best piece of NYCT equipment, in my opinion. They’re so fun to ride and are very nostalgic.
great scenery!
Thanks
Great action, Penn has so much variety during rush!
They’re construction a new interlocking and station for Penn access
I took the LIRR to and from Oyster Bay.
It’s nice and scenic
Love it!
Thanks!
It would be a Special train no Doubt no doubt.
Lucky 🍀 you weren’t asked to stop recording.. it’s easier with phones now. They still have issues because of 9/11
I had to be discreet when I was making this video. I made sure that the Port Authority cops didn’t see me. That’s why part of the World Trade Center station is not in the video,

The 7 train should go to Sheepshead Bay on the Q train Line.
I'm a tram and I approve this video! Ding ding!!!
Likewise, the videos on your channel are so cool,
thanks for sharing super cool to watch coming from a place without alot of transit
Used To Ride The PATH Train, When I Worked In Jersey City. Missed The Ride.
