That THIRD rail was letting us KNOW 😳😳😂
Ah yes that sweet propulsion sound of the r188 (besides the cracking sound on the 3rd rail from snow)
@@mychickennuggetlover your joking right
@@Boom080 My son is unfortunately trolling you, just like how he is trolling everyone else for no reason.
No idea
Never realized how close they can run those cbtc lines trains, that’s awesome!
@@mychickennuggetlover they can
I love watching trains in the snow. So majestic and beautiful
Have a look on YT of videos showing 3rd rail powered trains in the UK. You get some impressive sparking with all the arcing caused by the snow and ice on the 3rd rail
I first got that same feeling as a kid growing up in Brooklyn. Used to take the old New Lots Avenue line and could watch the trains from my window. It was quite a site to see. Am glad others enjoy the same thing.
Yes it has
6:29 That doorchime tho lol
LMAO
That sounds high pitched lol
@@fiercingdragon lower pitch"
Seeing the trains run in inclement weather is very positive press for New York
For the most part NYC prepares in advance like most cities to minimize disruption to public transportation including buses with chains on the wheels.
@@ZeitGeist_TV only on the buses
@@sitdowndogbreath Of course only buses have chains, didn’t know my comment reads as implying anything other then that. 🤷🏾♂️
@@ZeitGeist_TV I take of Siberia Russia that some of sand or rough texture device is on the trains out there I think
Oh
This mta really can run thru bad weather hands down 🙌🙌🙌
Well, yeah, but within limits.Some above ground service was suspended. For example the A run out to the Rockaway's was suspended as the snow was heavier there. I believe a few other above ground lines were also suspended or partly suspended.
@@WitchidWitchid Especially if the line is on the surface.
Amazing
2:00 really shows the robustness of the system. 4 trains (two Manhattan-bound local, one express, one Queens-bound) in 30 seconds, all in a blizzard. Wow.
Yes it is insane
I'm am from New York. The 7 (Flushing) line is one of the best lines in the system, because both the 7 local & the 7 express services has it's own sets of trains, so the service is robust.
Cool
@@amazing50000not to mention the fact that you can transfer to 20 different lines as well as the MNRR and the LIRR. The 7 line is crazy cool.
and I forgot to say that you can also transfer to Amtrak, NJT and the NJT busses at port authority bus term.
Man, this brings back memories of my days in NYC and riding the subway when it snowed. In particular, I remember those sparking 3rd rails -- and how those sparks would sometimes rain down on you when the trains were on the elevated sections of the system. Finally, remembering seeing a New Lots Ave bound no. 2 train slide about almost two cars past the 225th street station in the BX because the ice was so bad. Man those were the days.
I always love the heat that's inside the trains on a snowy day. Thanks for making me feel warm on a snowy day. 🥰
What I've been told they no longer use heating inside the train either to keep the homeless out or to not incubate Alpha Coronavirus
Np
Snow in NYC is so magical.
A moment of thanks DJHAMMERS for braving the storm to upload this video?!#😀😀♥️♥️
1:00 those sparks
Awesome footage!! 1st time seeing NYC Subways operating in a blizzard!! Thanks so, so much for braving the elements to "Go outside and play in the snow!!!"
Now the old neighborhood of Long Island City has changed so much since 1961 I don't recognize it anymore!
Reminder: this is new york
I am very impressed how you moved at 5.57 to get a perfect view down the centre of the platform. Superb attention to detail. And the view also shows very clearly the difference between the bow sided cars on the former BMT/IND lines and the flat sided cars on the former IRT lines. I am English and live in London. I have visited New York only once and that was many years ago when my wife and I stayed with my one of my wife's relatives in the Bronx on line 4, our local station being Burnside Avenue.
That is my main stop in the Bronx Burnside Ave where my dad live
@@DARTHBLUNT713 It's a small world. My wife's relative lived in Andrews Avenue immediately north of its junction with West Burnside Avenue. I live near an Underground/Subway/Metro station myself - Seven Sisters on London's Victoria Line.
Oh
2:20 Jesus Christ those trains were like 15 seconds apart, CBTC is doing its tricks huh
@@mychickennuggetlover Can you stop with that please? You’re getting very annoying.
@@lewisrichardsdad3613 Fr.
15 seconds hmmm, not during a snow storm, maybe a minute apart.
People who don't live in NYC won't understand this video!
Idk, seems pretty straightforward, even if the actual task of running the subway in a blizzard isn't.
I live in nyc
That 3rd rail sizzles like bacon!
FYI, driving in snow is pretty scary and hard, especially for us operators, and even though the event of a major storm and operating through one is very slim, it’s still a possibility and operators should be respected for. (I’ve only done it once, so my experience isn’t high, lol)
Some fantastic shots you have here...
You guys have more snow, cold and wind than we have here in North Dakota. Wish I was there, but the best I can do now is to watch your tubes. Broadway LION.
One of my favorite trains of all time...
I'm just surprised they ran in this weatther
probably to keep the tracks and 3rd rail free of ice/ snow buildup
Only one 7 express train runs during winter storm to accommodate delays and keep the third rail active.
I don't know who took this video but many kudos to you. You are one tough customer!! Thanks for your suffering!
Damn, that was one heck of a snow blizzard in the late month of January 2022. Nice recorded video, DJ's Hammers Trains!
@1:12, I spotted that the tracks on the 7 trains is about to start a fire when the tracks with this train is standing to this station too long. : 0
Whoa
I enjoyed that video 👍👍
Awesome Snowy R142A Convert & R188 catches they're definitely getting a snow bath.
Yes they do
Nice video. Haven't been there since 2009.
This is some nice footage right here.
1:37 whites the signal green blinking aspect means, usually after passing a signal, they turn red
That because its automated train, it drives itself.
CBTC is active in the area
Went to Aviation HS in the 80's remember that station well
Oh wow even the still ran.
@@mychickennuggetlover 2:18, 8:40
Eyes still glued together Lewis, or Kenneth Rembert 4.0?
@@mychickennuggetlover That’s not true. All you say is lies and misinformation. What he is saying is facts.
@@fiercingdragon He’s off his meds for some reason.
1:01 has anyone notice that spark on the tracks
That's the third rail.
I Heard it
I notice almost everything
That's because it's wet and salt outside
5:15 ActionKid!
This a Winter Season we werent expecting!
The 7 has several stations in common with the Philly Market St. El.
So.....
Are we not gonna talk about why 7 express trains are running on a Saturday??
It’s best to not look a gift horse in the mouth, better express trains than shuttle busses every weekend😭
🐦~ Express 7 on a Saturday? Must have been due to the condition at hand ✌
@@schen5425 Yeah but then again, the flushing line has 3 tracks. Meaning, that express trains can only go in one direction at a time. If there were 4 tracks, then they could have express in both directions.
🐦~ what is there to say? It probably was express on that particular Saturday because of the snow conditions and lack of trains. Hey I'm all for having express on wkends. Understnd? ✌
Yes
I like the rain it felt like I was bathing will moving
Has it snowed so bad that they had to cancel service for the day? I live in the west coast so that's why I'm asking
cool video and come to lefferts blvd and do a station tour
Stay safe dj
That happens every year on same month lol
Why does the (7) looks extremely nice in whatever weather? Is that just me??
The NYC has the advantage of the trains picking up the power from the underside of the conductor rail. Here in the UK generally where a conductor rail is used the train picks up from the top of the rail. Once I heard of a train where the pickups were arcing so much they become welded to the conductor rail!
You made a mistake. In NYC my old hometown all subway trains have a third rail shoe between the wheels that slides above the 3rd rail that is now covered by an aluminum board above the rail. It is electrified with 600 volts of DC current. The Market Frankford subway line in Philadelphia has an upsidedown 3rd rail where the 3rd rail shoe slides underneath the rail. It is also charged at 600 volts of DC current.
@@luislaplume8261 Having the board above the rail would explain why it looks as if it were using an under rail contact. It must still cut right down on problems with ice and snow build-up on the 3rd rail.
Most passenger lines in the south and south east of England use a 3rd rail 750V DC (max speed 100mph). I believe the longest route is at least 120 miles long. I don't know if any routes in the UK hold any records for the longest 3rd rail powered route in the world
@@leeroberts1192 Not the subway, but Metro North Railroad here does have a upside down third rail system. And one of their fleet Kawasaki M8 actually equips both AC OHLE and a third rail shoe that can switch between over running and under running.
I’m always impressed how National Rail runs trains @ 100mph over third rail. The commuter rail here only gets up to 80mph.
@@kkparis Being able to switch between 3rd rail and OLE isn't unsual here in the UK. A couple of routes where it happens that I can think of are the North London Line and Thameslink. There's a new train being trialled which is " tri-mode" (3rd rail, OLE, diesel). There was also a trial in recent years of battery powered trains, think it was OLE with the option of switching to battery power
Wow
Could someone please tell me how there is service to manhattan.
You went right over Sunny Side Yard and I did not see a single GG-1 down there.
Thats awesome.
Thanks!! 😀
Is that the 3rd rail that is sparking like that? Cool video.
At least rails keep the subway wheels warm when moving
I was going to go and do the same thing but at last minute, I changed my mind and said I was going to do it tomorrow
the after math of this blizzard was terrible the snow hasn’t melt and all it’s been cold and it’s really hard to walk in the streets
Jeez I'd hate to be out hiking to/from the train yard in this weather.
Damn its super cold
How cold outside! I prefer the mild temperature of São Paulo, 20 degrees centigrade (20 degrees C = 68 degrees F). From Brazil!
@@mychickennuggetlover, is it correct now?!!!
It would be not quite 0° C or lower
@@WillsJazzLoft
When I saw the transmission, I immediately looked at the thermometers in São Paulo and New York, and they registered respectively 20 degrees Celsius and -9 degrees Celsius. We are not used to such low temperatures, and we have never seen snow here.
@@anteliomonteiroabellan1214 ok

Oh i get it
cameraman recording all this in a blizzard 😭
Nice
i question how they haul on the express sections in this weather
Looks like non-revenue trains to keep the tracks clear.
@@keithbarbaro7590 They we’re actually in service.
Next time I was rec the F line
I caught the led set today in the snow !
@@mychickennuggetlover who tf are. You🤣🤣🤣
@@mychickennuggetlover saying “I don’t care” doesn’t make me care about your comment make sense first . 💀🤦🏽♂️
@@mychickennuggetlover he simply said, I caught the special led. You make a deal about it. Smh. #BanLuisRichards
@@nyc_silver Personally if that was me, I would get back
that’s just me tho
Why was there an express train in the video? Wasn’t the blizzard during late night and weekend?
Several trains ran express to keep the center track clear of snow 🤓
Wow
the express ran on a Saturday ????
Arcing is great
I'm surprised MTA was able to keep the outdoor trains running at all.
Man, all that arcing because of the snow.
I think I'm gonna make a meme about this
You’ll do anything to make videos for us
That electrical sound within the first minute doesn't sound very safe
Does electricity cause enough heat to melt snow?
IDK, but i know they have D-Icer train
@@mychickennuggetlover it replaced the V train in 2010
@@mychickennuggetlover how do you think it makes no sense
did you mean: foggy blizzard
Was there a service change doesn’t usually run on Saturdays
this was likely taken friday.
@@atransithuman It was running so the third rail on the express tracks continue to be alive.
Yes it does
I love all those trains. The shot at 9:03 was really cool. I wish the tracks allowed them trains to run faster though.
30 miles on old infrastructure is pretty cool already
When express 7 trains are between 61st woodside and junction boulevard stations it goes a bit faster, it feels nice
Yes it was
It would me a hour
Do trains had a last names?
Yes
1:55 to 2:56 I just witnessed 4 trains action on a 3 track platform😐😂
@@mychickennuggetlover Can you STOP harassing everyone and accusing people of being a troll? CaitSith810 and JeremiahC99 are NOT trolls. YOU are the troll and they are the victims of your trolling.

Weakest blizzard I've ever seen.
Wonder if the criminals took a snow day off from shoving people onto the tracks?
