Why There’s No 4th Avenue in Manhattan
You** probably won’t find 4th avenue on a map of Manhattan. Most of the island has avenues going 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Lexington, Park, Madison, then 5th… so what happened to 4th?

The Entire History of the NYC Shuttle
Переглядів 31 тис.Рік тому
From well before the beginning of the NYC subway in 1904 to the present day, this is the most comprehensive history of the 42nd street shuttle on UA-cam. This project was almost six months in the making (I started early October 2022), mostly because of other conflicting video projects. I hope you find this video informative, thank you so much for watching. If you have any corrections, please co...
the M15 needs fixing... (NYC)
Переглядів 10 тис.Рік тому
As the busiest bus route in New York City, the M15 needs to be reliable to help as many people as possible. Right now it and many other bus lines suffer from heavy traffic and overcrowding during the AM and PM rush hours which need to be addressed. This video isn't about the subway or trains but the second avenue subway will help. Here are some possible ways to improve the M15: discussion? Post...
Why Do Metros Use Rubber Tires?
Переглядів 18 тис.Рік тому
While most subway systems like the London Underground and the one in New York City use steel wheels, a few metro / subway systems in the world use rubber tires. Some examples include the Paris metro, Montreal metro and the Mexico City metro. follow me: RobertHalpern_ Sources: Steel reduces 85-99% of friction statistic - steelinterstate.org/topics/steel-wheels-or-rubber-tires ^^^ Thi...

In Defense of the R46... (NYC Subway)
Переглядів 75 тис.2 роки тому
In 1975, the R46 / R-46 were placed into service on the B division of the NYC subway. Built by the Pullman Standard Company, these cars have been in service for nearly 50 years and have faced their fair share of problems. In this pretty short video I went over some of the best and worst parts of this car. This video was scripted, filmed, and edited by Robert (me). I used a bit of footage from G...

They are entirely more quiet than steel tires dude. Have you been to Brooklyn before? I could not believe how loud the trains on the tracks were there.
hehe spiderman train go brrrrrr
Actually I think it uses both.
The bus lane on 2 Av needs to get moved away from the curb. Construction on the west side of 2 Av ends up rendering the lane useless and buses end up in traffic.
WHERE AR U BRUH
video soon, promise 🥲
I like R46 the best!
Like thank you
bro forget that Sapporo also have one.
i love the r46 just because it exists
As for the R46 LCDs, they were also added in the 90s, but before then, the R46 used the rollsigns.
The most amazing cars! I would often take the IND just to avoid the R-32s on the IRT. Quiet, quick, and the space-age sounds when the door opened. An incredible ride especially to Aqueduct.
Man how came R46 has a longer subway car than R211
What I liked about the R-46’s besides their looks was the old braking system when I used to run them in the 90’s. When at a full stop and releasing the brakes they sounded like Chewbacca 😂.
i at 30 av
Nice editing 🤩
THANK YOU :D
DID R46 NYC SUBWAY PUT INSTALLATION CAMERAS INSIDE R46's
Montreal, Paris , Mexico city AND SANITAIGO CHILE ;-)
Hated riding on the N line because of that car, worst seating.
Personally I just dislike how slow they feel, I take a Manhattan-bound N train daily yet I see the R train usually out-pacing it, even if the N was ahead. That is most likely due to other things, but man the 50 years really is felt on them. Also the lighting is crazy soft, feels like I am going to sleep. Nonetheless, I enjoy the train, and it is a pretty cool model.
Release the hounds!(R211) R46:
In the future, R262 will run on the 42nd Street Shuttle. And R62A and R62 will be retired or replaced
Thanks for the video, when i went to mexico city, i just wondered how did the circuit worked, because with conventional metros the supply current with third rail or ohle, goes in and then returns via the running rail, with the metro in mexico city, i didnt know how the circuit was completed, Its cool how a compressed shoe is pressed in the inner steel rails to return the current.
Definitely the R17, aka the redbirds. I rode one as a child and it was like entering a time machine
I just hope they don’t retire soon
Lo V
update 12/26/23 i need the local more it barely shows and if it does it half turns at poke st which isn't beneficial because the m15 sbs doesn't serve my stop
i do still prefer the r68 but when the r46s go i will miss them
What, but I love the R46s.
I kinda wish that Astor Place station would be renamed Astor Place - 4th Avenue, just to trick people…
We have five “23rd St” stations, the MTA just loves trolling
@@robert.halpern I know. Jokes aside, I think it would be best if stations can have their own name. Let's say if I rename every 23rd Street station, including Second Avenue: - IRT: - Seventh Avenue Line: West 23rd Street - Lexington Avenue Line: East 23rd Street - IND: - Eighth Avenue Line: Chelsea - 23rd Street - Sixth Avenue Line: 23rd Street (same) - Second Avenue Line: Gramercy - 23rd Street - BMT: - Broadway Line: Flatrion Building - 23rd Street
@@robert.halpernare you gonna upload again?
@@BMTEnjoyer160 Hahaha Ha that is a pretty funny question 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Seriously: I will make an attempt to return as I have one video currently in the works. But after that video I am not certain whether I will have time to continue… school is time consuming and I can’t divert my attention away from that. Thank you for asking and for your support
But it looks cool
While it's look cool, rubber tyred metro can cause everyone stress while riding because of rubber wheels instead of steel wheels.
Always running late!!
Can't old trains last hundreds of years ?
I grew up with R46 on the F and R lines in 2000s until they were switched back in late 2019.I know old things have to be replaced soon enough
real men don't use rubber!
I love the r46 I don’t understand why some people hate them
Singapore has these things called LRT (actual name is people movers ) they have rubber tires actually
You can say some R46 were fast but R46 A line there are fast just some.
When does CBTC Comes to the Astoria line
It seems that tire trains have more disadvantages than advantages.
2:32 What is that ugly abomination? 😂
XD100💀
What about the B82 SBS ?
Honestly I never liked the R46s on the N Q and W lines I was okay with the R lines. R68As looked better on the N Q and W lines.
Cayley teach for the sex
How old is it?
Roughly 45-48 years, it came out in 1975 according to Wikipedia and was produced over 3 years.
Awesome
I hate this train
Why can't train wheels be coated with solid nylon? Quiet, wears slower and 100% recyclable.
Think of skateboard wheels.
Um, that's not how rail wheels work. The surface contact area is so small that basically any other material than steel would be crushed.
The best will be replaced with trash r211
Also the r68s have outdated roll signs - r68 (Q) trains stop service at 57th & 7th instead of the accurate 96th and 2nd
Is this because they only run that one Q with R68 cars per rush hour and it’s not worth the costs to replace? That’s really interesting, thanks for sharing.
1:17 that's an iconic image
