NYCT Employees - "Thank you for your service to NYC."
For those wondering why this exist, remember that the original video cut at a point to show nyc day and at night when the G becomes elevated. This video only shows the day portion used.
That cut absolutely ruined the video
Yeah it had the rewind at Smith-9th which I didn't understand
I thought this was a new video to show the brand new tracks and ties they did on the G line over the summer.
Always get a kick out of seeing folks who forget that the G Line doesn't run 10 cars! Watching straphangers running down the platform...😂❤
And now all we need is the 5 Bronx express to Flatbush Avenue 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I agree!
Imagine if they actually finished all MTA lines and moved onto different services, like the Metro North or PATH… Would be awesome
It exists in the reverse direction; Flatbush Av. to Dyre Ave.
@@stevenkalka1064 I know that but I want the Bronx express from the Bronx to Flatbush
@@stevenkalka1064 bronx to brooklyn has the flyover, the other direction doesnt.
The G Line is one of the most underrated lines in the system! It also doesn’t go to Manhattan.
That ain’t a flex
I feel like the G is the best line, it’s serves the areas that have no other choices like Lafayette Ave.
@@briancatchflightss The G is really good but it isnt the best. I personally think the 7 is the best line
@@SomeRamdomAholethat is a flex. We need a lot of routes that take us across the city without having to go into busy Manhattan. The G train is peaceful ride
@@lamargoat2.054the best line when it’s working but the worse if any slight delay occurs lol. If only the 7 line was a 4 track system.
Ok, so it looks like this was taken last year when the 63rd tunnels was going through structure and track repairs, and the (M) line had to be cut back to 57th Street through that summer of 2023 and as result, some R160s from the (M) were sent to the (C) for more service. An R160 (C) Train can be seen in this video at Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets station.
That is absolutely correct! F train was doing shuttle service between Lexington Ave 63rd St. to 21st. Queensbridge and back.
31:20 That's a relic in plain sight right here: An old 1930s IND Type 2 trackbed with its 33 feet long rails still simply spiked onto the sleepers and held together with fishplates. That's how rails used to be secured on all railroads across the US and the subway. Such rail setup is no longer common nowadays with secure tie plates and welded rails across pretty much the whole active underground & ground level system. You can still find that old rail setup in most layups and yards, as well as on inactive tracks; but it's rare to see that on revenue service tracks like here.
The G could be extended back to Forest Hills by only sending a limited number of them past Court Sq and the rest can short-turn at 21st St using the center track which currently acts as a crossover. Also, some local trains can run to 179th St due to Forest Hills’ limited turning capacity.
If they build the Rockaway connections sending the M to Rockaway beach then sure
@@dubreil07 I think the R should run on Queenslink because it would give the service above-ground sections for the first time. Also, F and M trains should switch tunnels because the 53rd St Tunnel is a continuation of the express tracks and the 63rd St Tunnel connects at a local station (36th St). Other than that, below are the routes each service should run on.
E: Run fully express from the 53rd St Tunnel to Forest Hills.
F: Run fully express from the 53rd St Tunnel all the way to 179th St.
G: Run fully local from the Crosstown Line to Jamaica Center.
M: Run fully local from the 63rd St Tunnel to 179th St.
R: Run fully local from the 60th St Tunnel onto Queenslink.
Looking forward to your Bronx to Brooklyn 5 train video!
These videos continue to never disappoint me!!!!
Fantastic Video! Between the video itself and the surrealness of the sights and sounds - Amazing!!!!!
Thank you - As I stated in other posts - These videos help cure my homesickness for NYC!
God Bless you and your endeavours!!!

I was hoping this was the new & improved CBTC G train but I did see in the comments what this one is for
Another work of art!
The train tracks look clean finally specifically in Brooklyn
🚮🏆🫡
Welcome I appreciate for making the g train to court square
Because of this channel I get to experience it all. It'll never be the same as when you're physically in the train (esecially when able to see out the front unlike most lines these days), but at my age, it's less painful on my legs, knees & feet 😂
Another awesome video! 👏
Great As Always! Excellent work! Do One on the G train when cbtc is complete.
Oh yeah 🎉🎉🎉
I lived on Bedford and Lafayette until 1996 and the G train was a part of my life. I would take it as a kid to Hoyt, or to Yankee Stadium, or to Smith 9 to transfer to the F to go to coney island. During the 80s it could get rough at night at some of the stations. But I guess that was a lot of NYC until the Giuliani crackdown.
Good video. A shout out to the MTA workers and the public in keeping the subway stations clean at least. Some subway stations are under renovations.

What else to say..... Another great one👏
Statue of Liberty in view, left side 10:56 mark.
At Smith-9th Street, highest station in the system.
Good job as always if you can get some of the rerouted trains that would be great😊
The 3rd Avenue El train needs to come back 😫
0:26 interesting that it’s direct fixation track but it’s still using the old method of spikes instead of cologne eggs
2:17 is an example of the more modern cologne eggs.
The round subway tunnels creep me out for some reason.
It was always my understanding that in NYC, the rounded tunnels indicate portions of the subway line passing under bodies of water, mainly rivers.
Note how in most tunnel videos where trains go between boroughs like say, Manhattan and The Bronx, usually the engineering design stops having a boxy ceiling and automatically turns curved.
@@JoseMorales-lw5nt And the round tunnel at about 4:00 is probably under Prospect Park, where they could do cut and cover construction and had to bore instead.
@Mrbeahz1 Thank you! I forgot about that particular geographic detail. Not just water, but parks as well.
I remember watching another subway video where the content creator made a great structural point.
When you see exposed steel pillars along passenger platforms, that part is usually under a street or light roadway. If the steel pillars are covered in concrete and tile, that platform was built directly under a heavy structure, like buildings or highways... or parks!

I went back and watched your G Train video from 8 months ago in the opposite direction, after watching this one. I must say the "Next Station" animation and text graphics on that video (December 2023) are a lot easier to see/read. Your little pretend phone app you use now is too small and very hard to read. Go back and check out what you did on the earlier video; you got it right on that one.

Hmm, I feel like we’re missing something. Perhaps the express one day.
Edit: Maybe we could see the new 63rd street line then since it’s reconstruction
An F Express video exists, though not a front view. It was shot from a side window view. The lower level express platform at Bergen St. is briefly visible.
Was this taken after the G shutdown or before?
My guess is way before…

When the 63 St tunnel project started
I think the G line can go to 36th st. and so on.
Can u say a Happy Late birthday to me
23:59 WHAT WAS HE DOING?!

R160 on the C?? This video is quite old. This dates back to when Eastern Division R160’s were loaned to the C.
