man those trains were great...when we were younger on an empty car we'd swing off the handles as well as slide along the smooth benches. fun when we were kids lol im impressed you caught the diamond 7 in action twice, very nice. we used to deliberately wait for it during rush hours cuz it was so rare. yea redbirds were pretty awesome.
@Hotters70603XL they still have the redbirds riding around but they use it for maintence and i do hope they bring these beautiful red trains back.the mta always messes things up anyway
@Hotters70603XL they do cause i live in brooklyn and i was shocked when i saw it this year and then i saw da next train after it connected and it was one of those maintence cleaning trains.thats the only bad part but yes they still use them for little things..if the mta was smart they would at least either use the red trains for the holiday weekend and/or use the train every last day of the month as a throwback
@Hotters70603XL i agree.all they have to do is fix the trains up a little bit like the windows and update the red with a brighter shade of red and put the same things that's on the new trains and the technoglogy and boom there you go...ima send you a video on what they do with the red trains now on your inbox
I would love to see this and the other video you made about historical subway cars without the music. The trains make some nice music themselves. Also, some of your more spectacular evening shots were marred by the lower thirds (titles). Do you have raw footage clips you'd care to share?
soon were going have to a tribute video to the R62/A...by the end of 2008 the 7 line will be getting h enew R142/s this was suppose to happen when the redbirds were getting dumped.but a guy at the mta said"since the 7 line has its own railyard lets just sent these r62/a to the 7 line.we will save a bundle"so now the mta is plannung to make the whole NYC subway hi tech by the middle of 2009..we will misss the R32,R38,R40,R42,R62 so hi trch to NYC!
jones james That would be impossible to just Bring reefed up, rusted, heavy train cars in the Atlantic Up one car at a time, get their doors back, and their motors/engines back, unless they decide to remake them into something else like a different car unit, which will be very unlikely.
BUT GUYS REALLY THE REDBIRDS NEVER GOT THE GOH PROGRAM SO IN 2002 OR 2003 N IF U WERE IN THE REDBIRDS IT WOULD FEEL LIKE THE 60S OL SCHOOL UNLIKE THE OTHER BMT N IND TRAINS THAT GOT THE MODERN PROGRAM AT THAT TIME (1987-1991) GOH PROGRAM ACTIVE
@Hotters70603XL ima try to send it again cause i might have missed a symbol on da address or da video is no longer on..if that dont work ima send sum more vids wit da redbirds as the garbage trains
i was 6 yrs old also when i rode on these. i would alaws tell my grandma to wait for a red bird. i wish i had a chance to take a video but i was still to young to have a phone.
i just fell like crying cause i was only 6 yrs old when i use to ride the redbirds....

Thanks for including this song. I always thought this song was called "Without Love". I'm 33.
I am going to miss the Redbirds as well.
Great video. Those redbirds are sorely missed.

I even have the "Best of the Doobies" CD and didn't even bother to look at the back for the name of the track. :oP
Amazing Tribute Video! I really miss the redbird on the 7 line, I rode them on the 7 line when I was little, I cried when they retried.
They aren't all gone. There are 10 cars left used as work motors in 207st yard.
