Thank you so much, as always, for sharing this.
This is my therapy.
Mines too
We appreciate you. It's an honor to bring you some mental healing.
It's our pleasure.
@@wtaenyc I am back

When I was a kid I lived in Brooklyn on Utica Avenue. Now I live in the Bronx, one stop away from Woodlawn.
When I worked in Manhattan as a foot courier I loved taking the 4 train from midtown Manhattan all the way down to Fulton Street and Wall Street. I went through some of my fastest commutes on the MTA by riding the 4 train.
The 5 train: *sobs*
I also remember that route. Funny I never knew there were access tracks where we saw them. Hidden except to the operator.
Shoutout to you for your service as a courier. It's amazing how reliable the train system can be and how valuable it was to you during your tenure. Thank you so much for sharing and we hope you enjoyed the content.
@@629Justme Isn't that crazy. It's truly an amazing system. Fantastic engineering we'll say.
@@iamthekittycat Coming soon.
@Welcome To An Experience:
Now that railfans no longer have rail fan windows on today's rolling stock (the R-32's being that last ones, now gone forever), your videos are now THE GO-TO SOURCE for HIGH-QUALITY, HIGH-DEFINITION rfw videos here on UA-cam. Prior to your series, most if not ALL amateur RFW videos were fuzzy, dark, underexposed, and low-definition. Now you came along and have given us incredibly bright and sharp videos!! In fact the only thing better would be if the crew of the Track Geometry Trains filmed RFW videos as a side-project for fans while they are assigned their rounds!! But this would never happen---but it HAD BEEN PROPOSED to the head of the MTA to do so for a profit to the MTA, but it has been vehemently refused by MTA brass. Now YOU HAVE MADE THE DREAMS OF RFW FANS COME TRUE! It is my hope that, in time, you may be able to offer us videos of all lines and in both directions per each train. If that is not on your agenda, then we will love and treasure whatever amount of videos you CAN provide! Bravo!!
We are so honored that you hold our videos to such a high regard. Shoutout to those other channels that tried their best to give you guys a great experience before us. We were simply lucky enough to have a team that was able to figure out exactly how to give you guys the experience you deserved. It is truly an honor that you appreciate them as we try to bring back those old childhood memories that so many of us have. We cannot wait for you to experience all that we have to offer and please be sure to give thanks to all the NYCT employees as it's because of them that we even have a system to experience. You made a great suggestion and we can only hope that maybe as time goes on and these comments are seen, they will allow us to do exactly what was proposed and hopefully we are able to achieve a different result. Thank you so much again for your lovely comment and we sure hope that we can continue to earn your respect.
@@wtaenyc You are so welcome!!
@@wtaenyc Jesus Christ so long
Absolutely correct !!! I'm eagerly waiting for more to come. Aarre Peltomaa
You’re doing a great job with your videos as a retired conductor of 27 years of service I appreciate you.
The subway is definitely near the top of the list of things that I miss when it comes to having lived in New York
It’s a pleasure to bring you back a little taste of what was once, “home.”
This video is incredible! Been looking for a full 4-train run for about a year now. Brings back memories of my childhood. Thank you!
It’s an honor to bring you back those childhood memories of this line. It’s truly our pleasure and we hope to continue earning your support.
Thank you soooo much for making and posting this excellent video. I’m always amazed how well the IRT lines were designed and constructed. I’m sure the designers and builders had no idea their work would not only still be used in the far-off year 2022 but would remain just as vital as when it was first built. The 4 line is ancient - some of it dates to the original IRT line of 1904, some of it was opened as part of Contract 2 in 1908 and the newest is the Dual Contracts portion from 1918. There are so many historical artifacts to see on the line - the old Ninth Avenue/Polo Grounds Shuttle connection just north of 161st Street Station in the Bronx, the fantastically designed stations on the 1904 portion, the closed 18th and Worth Street stations (unfortunately Worth was blocked by a 6 train on the local track), the severed connection at Fulton Street, the old connection to South Ferry south of Bowling Green - it’s all just amazing to see.
Nice to see track workers doing their thing at 2:16
Honestly did not know what to expect coming from the four line but it is one of the underrated routes for sure. I love the videos as always big time supporter No Doubt and thank you so much for what you do that's awesome keep it up! Be safe out there
And thank you for your constant support. We truly appreciate it and it’s what fuels us to continue. The 4 is definitely very underrated and we are glad that folks can experience it and appreciate it even more.
For twenty years i lived half a block away from this train at 6:15 mark i lived to the left in the brown buildings. My bedroom at night used to light up in blue from all the flashes of the 3rd rail. Was very noisy but loved it…most of the time haha
Wow. What a cool story. It's amazing that we are able to give you an experience of your old home. Sorry you had to endure the noise constantly as I am sure despite you loving it most of the time, there were definitely times when you didn't. Regardless, we love the fact that you can still appreciate the beauty of the line; your old home line.
...when you moved, were you able to sleep after all of the noise was gone? If not, you arent alone, seems to be a thing that folks that grew up along elevated lines go through.
@@629Justme no haha, moved to Long Island! Way out and it took like a week to adjust
@@Killercutsvideo no love lost i guess...lol.
@@629Justme i miss it sort of. Was in an apartment…now a big beautiful house. But I do hear the LIRR train once in a blue hah
Your videos are so unique! There are plenty of videos from the front of the trains, but your trackside views are awesome! Keep up the good work! I always look forward to seeing your work!
We appreciate you for this kind comment. It is an honor that we are able to give you this experience and it means a lot that you appreciate it. Thank you so much and we hope we continue to earn your support.
I truly appreciate you putting these videos out. You are amazing. God bless you! You deserve more subscribers!
It is an honor that you think this way. We truly appreciate you and we appreciate your support. We hope that we can continue to earn your support.
Utica was my home station most of my childhood. It's sad we can't look out the front windows like we could on the old fleets. Great video! 👍
Thank you for this. It's so relaxing to watch especially if you have ridden the 4 train.
And thank you for your support. We appreciate you
This was my favorite line. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 50s, and I remember riding the big front window on the low-V trains (until 1965) from Utica Ave to Yankee Stadium, to Nevins St in high school, and 14th Street in college. I moved to California in 1973, so it was great to see the 4 line again. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing that. What an awesome memory from way before most of us were even born. It is an honor to bring you content that you are able to enjoy and that also takes you back to your "good ole days." We hope we can continue to earn your respect. thank you
Brooklyn tech alumni? Lmao
There's no way to be stunned by this video. Your work is simply wonderful. 👏👏👏 The masterful sound, the image perspective... Look, honestly, I don't know where to start with the compliments. As I read in a previous comment above, a real therapy. 🙏 Congratulations!!! 🙌
We appreciate your support and love you have for the videos/channel. It truly means a lot to us that you’re able to bless us with compliments. We hope to maintain earning your support
The 4 is my favorite IRT line…good memories with it..
We are happy that we are able to give you this experience. We hope you enjoyed it.
Do you live where Pelham bay line
19:51 when I was a kid going to the old Yankee Stadium with my dad I thought it was so cool how the 4 trains up on the el were part of the scene inside the stadium. This exact spot is where you could see the trains between the main right field stands and the bleachers. In those days there were a mix of R62s and R33s on the line, the latter in their redbird livery near the end of their career. Whenever he’d spot a train of R33s through the gap my dad would claim the “red train of death” was an omen that something big was about to happen in the game.
My dad, the stadium, the R33s, my interest in baseball, and that cool view are all long gone now, but it’s a fun memory. Actually *riding* the 4 on game days was a rarity, though…One of my dad’s many colorful quirks was his hatred of the IRT ever since he was a kid in Brooklyn in the ‘50s so if we took the train up it was almost always the D.
We are honored and thankful that you not only had that memory from watching our video, but for sharing it as well. That is truly some special moments you shared with dad as it relates to the train equipment and the love for the D train etc. Sending positive blessings to you and your family and we hope to bring back more memories.
Can you do the 6 with the city hall loop next?
We can’t wait for you to see it.
Great job as always keep up the good work I am looking forward to the other lines in the system stay safe
Thank you so much. It truly means the world to us. We hope we can continue to earn your support.
Yyyyaaassssssssss!!!!!!! Lol. Thank you guys once again. Hope you guys do the 3 train next. Don't think anybody has ever recorded a fanrail video of that yet as long as youtubes been around. It would be cool to see the 148th street station.
Thank you so much for your support and your suggestion. We can’t wait for you to experience it.
Awesome video. I love the 4 train. Two thumbs up!
We appreciate your support.
This brings back a lot of memories for me. I spent my childhood just west of Jerome Avenue. My family and I routinely took the No. 4 train at Burnside Avenue to get to Manhattan. Some of my earliest memories are of riding the Lo-V cars when I was in kindergarten.
Thank you so much for sharing. It is an honor that we can bring back those amazing childhood memories. The 4 train is truly something special to many of us. We hope that we can continue to earn your support.
Keep em coming, I love the views. Home sweet home.
It’s an honor to bring home to you.
That looks like a fun turn coming into Fulton Station. Couldn't help but notice how corroded the tunnel walls looked at Fulton either. And it's interesting seeing how close Wall Street Station is to Fulton too. That subway system along that 4 line has some cool views underground. Blows my mind how wide those tunnels got in a few spots while thinking about everything that's sitting on top.
It’s a truly amazing yet interesting system for sure. We have to give credit to where it’s due as the views are truly spectacular. We hope we can continue to earn your support.
Love the glimpses of the “ghosted” 18th St. and Worth St. stations. Rolled past 18th two nights ago and it was brightly illuminated by a track gang at work. Eerie!
That’s amazing that you got to see the ghosted station; great observation. Shoutout to the track gang that was working that night. They are the ones that keep the system moving.
The two stations you bypass between 125th St and 93rd are actually 110th St and 103rd. The train is actually on the lower level passing 116th so you don't see the station.
Thank you so much for sharing this as we made the mistake. We will make adjustments for the return leg. 🫡
Another Great EXPERIENCE!
You keep uploading them, I will keep clicking and enjoying them!
Would love to see you guys do the D train from the Bronx to Coney Island, Express down the Grand Concourse.
We appreciate your support and hope that we can continue to earn it. We can't wait for you to experience the D train even though I believe our concourse exp video is from the NB route. We hope that's ok.
@@wtaenyc Either way, makes no difference.
Actually thats perfect for me doing a NB D route because all tho other lines that use the Manhattan bridge are southbound and one of my favorite parts of the routes is the tunnels along Flatbush ave leading up to the bridge
Great video! It's so interesting to ride the ENTIRE line.
We appreciate your support.
Loving the full un-edited aspect - doors, chimes and everything! Keep it up
We appreciate your support.
Wow the way this video brings back so many memories, it’s amazing
We are honored to help with those fond memories.
Thank you guys. Awesome video!
We appreciate you.
Thanks for the great uploads, my vacation is almost over so i see i need to catch up on some videos :) !
We hope that you are able to catch up but either way, thank you so much for your support.
Wow..such a wonderful experience.. What a coincidence, I’ll be going up to NYC soon and I’m going to visit my grand daughter in Crown Heights.. Not renting a car.. Mass transit will be fine! Thank You for sharing..👏💕👏💕
Thank you for your lovely comment. We hope that you enjoy your trip to visit your grand daughter along with the rest of your family.
I love all your videos keep them coming watching them in Melbourne Australian
Thank you so much and sending you positive blessings to you and your family in Australia.
Thank you finally something to watch :)
We appreciate your support
I love these. I moved to DC area 16 years ago so I can’t take the rides personally so intend to watch as many as I can so I can experience the whole system why I work my remote job.
It’s an honor to bring you a taste of home while you are away. We hope we can continue to bring you content you can appreciate and enjoy.
Great video thanks for sharing although I'm not living in New York City anymore it brings me fond memories.
It is truly an honor to bring you back those memories that you share as it relates to this amazing city.
Oh wow, Burnside Avenue is my home stop! Thank you for finding it! @Welcome To An Experience
We hope you enjoyed it; thanks for sharing 🫡
Can’t wait to watch this video. Hope y’all can do the D train next
We can’t wait for you to see the D. We absolutely love it
Most excellent again. You aced it again. The only way you could have put icing on the cake would be to let the motorman ride you into the tail tracks, and turnaround back to Utica Ave. Yes !!! Aarre Peltomaa
Thank you so much for your support. That would have truly been amazing to see and maybe we will be able to show it one day.
I miss the boogie down bronx….last time I was in the boogie down was8-15-2015…haven’t been back…..in this video look like it’s about to pour down raining…..thanks for the beautiful video ❤
Thank you for your kind words. It’s a pleasure to bring you back to your city.
Loved the video. All that's left for me is to do the Flatbush Avenue 5 train which was the train I took to college each day.
Thank you for that. We can’t wait for you to experience your college line.
All right full 4 line video! Much appreciated! It seems that there may have been a different track configuration at Woodlawn as the iron work can be seen (to the left as the train departs) for a 3rd track runs up to the tower. Perhaps the middle track ran up there with a bumper block? Truly a rare sight at 1:47 to see the old wooden walkways (on the right) vs the new steel yellow or faded white by the sun. Really unusual to see 2 train yards right next to each other, especially when 1 is IRT & the other is IND/BMT. Guess they were running out of real estate when planning the system & just went with it. Really makes it easy for work trains to change divisions. The strange thing about Concourse yard is that it's on the other side & has to cross under the of the IRT Jerome Ave line. Really odd to see ballast as the southern half of Bedford Park BLVD & after the station also, not to mention the trash & soon to be forest growing on the tracks, but I read that the neighborhood demanded something to dampen the sound of trains. I know of other places that would like to have that also. Is it just me or did the track workers after Bedford Park BLVD fail to set up green flags for trains to know when the work area is over & can resume normal speed? Going into Burnside Ave at 10:57 on the right you can see the old iron work for the crossover to the express track. This station differs as when you leave the station, in both directions, there are 2 single crossovers instead of a "X" double crossover. I wonder if that is a cost saving method or not. I also noticed after Burnside Ave the signal stop arms changed from the ones that went straight up & more common on the IRT to the ones that rise to around 45 degrees & more common on the BMT/IND, wonder why the change? Just before entering 167th St you can see the single crossovers that were used by the Polo Grounds shuttle (Formerly 9th Ave EL). The shuttle terminated at 167th St, used the express track to lay up & reverse directions, start again at 167th St then descend below the line & head west to cross the Harlem River back into Manhattan. Could you imagine if the NY Giants still played there? The 159th St elevated train yard was located just north of the Polo Grounds for the 9th Ave EL. images.cf.nycsubway.org/images/i141000/img_141122.jpg Such a crazy track configuration in the vicinity of 125th street to just after Times Square. Back in the 90's I used to take the 7 to Times square & the 4 or 5 to Union Square for work. It was always fast! At 38:11 on the right you can see a glimpse of the local track from how this line originally ran up 42nd Street to Broadway. Right before Union Sq is the site of the Union Square wreck & where the old pocket track use to be. It was a weird design that they placed a center track at Spring St instead of closer to an express stop, cool part of history though! www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?17488 Nevins Street is a unique station for several reasons. it has the unused lower level, the space in the middle for an additional 5th track & the layup track between Nevins St & Atlantic Ave. What also stands out to me is that the signal leaving the station can only show red or yellow. This is probably like this to keep trains at a lower speed to reduce wear on the switches ahead. More sections of ballast before Franklin Ave. I'm thinking that the areas that don't have ballast were where they had to repair the roadbed & just declined to re-lay the ballast. After Franklin Ave there is another oddity in that offsetting crossover that takes the 5 line across the 3 line at grade to join the 2 & this section becomes multi-leveled with Utica Ave/New Lots Ave bound trains on the upper level & Manhattan bound trains on the lower level. It's surprising that they didn't or weren't able to go underneath or over as most other lines do. Right after Kingston Ave & just before Utica Ave looks like there were crossovers there at one time. Once at Utica Ave it almost takes you by surprise & feels like the line should continue & it might have continued if plans for the IRT & IND Second System had been allowed. To accommodate the expansion proposals, the line east of the station divides into three routes. Just outside the station on the local track are bellmouths leading south in Utica Avenue for the proposed Utica Avenue line. This was not preempted by the later IND plan for such a route but an alternative. From time to time the one or the other plan is resurrected, only to sink and die again. East of Utica Avenue the tracks in the tunnel split into the present New Lots line and a set of layup tracks. These tracks lie under Pitkin Avenue and are intended to continue the IRT east in that street. The tunnel mouth between Utica Avenue and Sutter-Rutland is an early example of a split-level portal. The three tracks of the Livonia Avenue line start to diverge on the El and are well separated as they enter the tunnel. Credit - nycsubway.org
Wow. This has been one of the most special and amazing comments we have received thus far. Thank you so much for taking the time to sit and educate us by sharing your knowledge of the system; both past and present. We appreciate how you were able to carefully point out all the details that have changed and the ones that remain the same, while being knowledgeable and able to explain them both. As for the green resume flag not being seen, train operators have been instructed to resume normal speed anytime after they make a station stop and don’t see a green resume or to utilize the signal markers to also have an idea of when they are allowed to resume normal speed. Yes it is unfortunate that there isn’t a flag and being that we don’t know why there wasn’t one, we won’t judge them from the outside but rather send them positive energy that moving forward, they are able to ensure that the flag is there. We also want to thank you for sharing those links where people can click on and learn more about your breakdown of elevated train yard and of course the spring street center track. It was also wonderful that you gave credit to nycsubway.org so folks can also go here to learn more and pick up from all of the knowledge you have given us. It was a pleasure for you to gives us a breakdown of the areas you are familiar with from the Bronx and all the way to Brooklyn. We are so grateful for you and your support and we hope that we can continue to earn it. Thank you so much.
Is that part of a old station after the train leaves the Brooklyn Bridge stop on the right?? @46:11..
Another fun filled ride! The 4 train is quite fast, especially in the tunnel sections. I liked the spots where we could see the R-62's running local beside us and the spots where we play catch up or race by them on the express track. The year before the old Yankee Stadium was torn down, I did get to see a ball game there. I took the 4 from downtown Manhattan to 161 Street-River Avenue. That view coming out of the tunnel was great. The Yanks won over the Angels 12-0 that day. The other reason I went there was to see the place where all the Yankee greats past and present called their home. Also, I wanted to see the place where the Pittsburgh Pirates (my home team) won Games 4 and 5 of the 1960 World Series to bring Games 6 and 7 back to Forbes Field. In 2014, the Pirates split a double header with the Yankees at the new stadium. The home team won the first game, the Pirates won the second, marking their first win at Yankee Stadium in 54 years! Thanks for the ride! Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for sharing that memory and those stories. It’s an honor that we are able to give you content that is able to spark your previous experiences. Seeing the r62 on the local track is definitely pretty awesome and we can’t wait for too experience more. We hope to continue earning your support
@@wtaenyc You're welcome. keep up the good work!
NYC's juicy subway connectivity signifies the mightiest vision ever; altogether quite the amazing feat -- and to think that more than 4 dozen stations thereabouts've already been long shuttered 🍸
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this beautiful rendition. Maximum respect to you.
Love your subway vids! I never realized how big NYC really is! It seems to go on and on!
Thank you so much. We will agree with you that the city's underground is quite "mind boggling," and that's why we say, "New York City is Underground."
You're welcome! Do you know if there was a subway train that carried passengers to and from the 1939 World's Fair? My dad was a musician back then...I'm writing a story and screenplay about him. I wrote a subway story in it all...just wondering? Thanks!
@@alangeorge1661 Shoutout to you for writing that screenplay and it's awesome that your dad was a wonderful musician back then so shoutout to him as well. As it relates to your question, no one on the team can accurately answer your question but we sire hope that a rail fan may be able to do so. Sending positive blessings to you and your family as you finish your project and we thank you again for your support.
Thank you very much! I'm originally from Detroit area, so I never knew that much about the Big Apple, other than what I saw on television and movies. All the research I've done about my dad's years in NYC has really helped me know a lot. One of the venues he performed in there was the Roseland Ballroom. I guess that was a big deal back then. He made several recordings at RCA Victor and a few other labels. Much of my screenplay is set in NYC. I even have an exciting subway scene in it! Thanks again and blessings to you!
Sheik Bin-Billionzy glanced towards Kingsbridge, Bronx, from his lofty penthouse at #111 West 57th and said; "I once knew a dancer named Tracy Towers..." (drum sound). Great channel! Great perspective!

@@wtaenyc yes I did. 😀
Another cool video! Is that the Yankee Stadium where Babe Ruth played? Amazing history in that ball park...
Thank you so much and yes it is, so much history indeed; great observation.
I used to take this train from Bedford Park Blvd. to Borough Hall, when I was going to college in the 1990s.
This was a very entertaining video, I’ve never seen this on a 4 train before
Seeing the 4 like this brings back memories from years ago
Btw, 28:42 is actually 110th Street and 29:16 is actually 103rd
Thank you so much for the support. We admit we made a mistake and appreciate you for pointing it out. Thank you.
Watching this video reminds me that around 60 years ago my uncle and I were on that train getting off at the Bowling Green station to go to the Staten Island Ferry which I enjoyed very much in those days I believe my uncle paid yes 5 cents a piece. Great,but yet sad memories.
Sending nothing but positive blessings to you and your family as well as condolences for the loss of your uncle. We’re honored that you can have that memory from our video and understand how it could be a sad one. We will just focus on the positives and be thankful that you got to enjoy those times with your uncle. 🫂 thanks for sharing. 🫡
Great vid as always. Behold the magic of America's most inefficiently run public transit network!
....in addition to the many places that it can be improved, 640 million get to where they are going per year. Just glad its better than prevoius years.
We appreciate you. And we also appreciate the transit workers for their service , despite the system having its inconsistencies. We can only send them positive blessings that moving forward, they will become the system that the city deserves.
Great video as always.
Would love to see the train relay as well
We can’t wait for you to see them. Maybe in a short
Thanks for a memorable trip.
It's a pleasure. 🫡
bronx to brooklyn in just an hour and seven mins!!!! eat that 2 train, lol! great to finally see pov videos of the IRT, cool to actually see the rogers junction
It was really cool to see the rogers junction indeed. Great observation and we appreciate you for your support.
I been waiting for this - I love Lexington Avenue
We hope you enjoyed the experience. Thank you so much for your support.
Great video makes feel I'm on the train😊😊😊😊
Thank you for sharing. Glad to know you enjoyed the experience.
Excellent Video!…It would be very interesting to see the relay process since Utica is a bilevel stop. I always was interested in where the ramp is to take train back uptown…Kudos to the team though 💯🙌🏾
We appreciate your support. It would be interesting indeed and hopefully we are able to show you guys one day.
This therapy 4 me also.👌

Astounding !! Aarre Peltomaa
It truly is when you think of it. Thank you so much as always for your support. It is an honor
Amazing so many memories I took that train from kingsbrige rd to 42nd street.
How'd you like the experience?
@@wtaenyc I always loved it. I would even ride in the first car and pretending that I was the motorman operating the train.
Kingston Avenue #3 station... thanks for sharing
Thank you for your support. Shoutout to everyone who shares the same home station
May I ask how do you manage to get these camera angles like this? It’s really impressive. Are there certain important factors that are necessary for this to work? You truly do very hard and tirelessly for us fans and we really appreciate all the things that you do. Keep up the amazing work. I’m also a little curious as to how you manage to get a big team like this? You always seem to amaze me with all the surprises you provide for the fans. And I would love for you to keep this up. I am extremely proud of you
It is an honor to earn your approval. It truly warms our heart that you can appreciate our hard work. As for how we achieved these camera angles, that video is coming soon as many have asked before. As for the team, it’s always easier when you have folks who believe in the end goal of the work we do. This is only the beginning; our main reason for doing this is yet to come but when you have members that believe, though it may seem like work, we do it with pleasure. You guys deserve to enjoy this experience while all we ask is that we continue to give credit to the NYCT employees.
@@wtaenyc i’m really looking forward to your 2 train run soon
hi it's me Kevin again I love this video yeah the 4 train. I used to take it to Bedford Park Blvd to manhattan so this was an amazing experience. Questioned i don't know if it's in the works or not do you guys are still doing PATH trains POV ? that will be intresting to see as well. other than that this was amazing thank you team and the MTA workers that they put on the line to make the transport more easier.
Sincearly your subscriber
Kevin Patino
Thank you so much for paying respect to the NYCT (MTA) employees Kevin. We truly appreciate you for taking the time to do that. We are still in the process of acquiring that footage and are having positive hopes to bring that experience to you after we are finished posting the other videos. We are happy that you got to experience your old journey from Bedford Park and hope you enjoyed it.
Yours truly
A team that appreciates your support. Thank you.

Your videos are terrific and so relaxing to watch. how were you able to mount your cameras in front of these trains?
🫡🏆
Wow. Haven’t been there since new stadium was built. Jammed right up against the line now.
Yes it is. Glad you’re able to see it from this experience.
Something I want to thank the creator for.
I'm a legally blind train buff. I have 20/250 vision.
So, I can read and watch videos fine IF I'm two inches from the screen. I'm UNFATHOMABLY nearsighted.
I used to look out the front of subway trains, but REALLY couldn't see all that much. Now, I get to see all the details I missed.
So, thanks for these videos.
It is truly an honor to know that we can bring a fellow train buff an experience that they can enjoy from their home, despite having the challenges you face. Massive respect to you for overcoming your challenges and we send positive blessings to you for doing so. Thank you for your lovely comment and again, it is truly an honor.
I love this!
Thank you for sharing 🫡
Nice
Respect 🫡
The 4 train
A useful reliable line for the mta.
I like the 4 train. It’s a great line and when not plagued with delays, it can run FAST in Lexington Ave. Gj on this catch.
We appreciate you.
@@wtaenyc same here. You make awesome videos.
Thank you so much again. Can’t wait for you to see the rest
The best takeoff view from our system. I love it as the sun sets
Thanks so much for sharing.
Awsome ride on the 4 line
We are happy you like it.
Love your videos
We appreciate your support.
Nice as always
Thank you so much.
This is my childhood line. I miss Brooklyn
Shoutout to you and it’s an honor to bring back those childhood memories by showing you your childhood line.
Now this is. Rail therapy love it keeps me on track and not to feel ,derailed ha
Haha. We see what you did there #genius. We are glad you can find these sounds therapeutic; it truly is. 🫡🫡
If you freeze it at 1:05:03 you will notice 3 different interlocking tracks.. The one on the left is for the the Number 4 train where it switches over to the Express track bypassing Nostrand Ave.. Where the local number 3 train would make a local stop at Nostrand Ave. The interlocking track to your far right is for the number 2 train where it would interlock to the next stop being. President Street...
Great observation and explanation. Your knowledge of the system is amazing and we honored that you are able to share it with the community.
Not sure how practical this would be, but it would be really neat if y’all could film one of the runs with the old Museum trains. Their non scheduled routes along with the surprised looks from people on the platforms would make for a fun video - especially with the growl of their old motors and systems.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. We will be sure to try our best.
59:14 Around here at Bergen Street, there are technically six tracks in this tunnel because you've got the local IRT tracks on the outside, the express IRT tracks inside of them, and the BMT Brighton Line tracks inside of those.
Thanks for sharing
Don't forget about the ninth Ave Elevated line that used to run under neath the 4 line back in the early 60s . As you could definitely see under neath the Jerome Ave 4 line there is the whole entire track frames trestles. If you ride the 2 to Gun hill road you will definitely see half of the old 8 Third Ave Elevated track frames trestles. Half of the old Thrid Avenue Elevated track frames trestle is still up for a reason and you will see the old building still standing today I'm taking about the small red ♥️ house 🏠 and 161 street court house is also still remaining and now it's a Muslim that used to be a court house.
This is amazing
Thank you so much.
Thanks for this one ... I really hope y'all do a video of the 6 Local From Pellham Bay Park through City Hall Station and back to Pelham Bay Park
We can’t wait for you to see the 6. Coming very soon.
@@wtaenyc 😍
@@gordonwerner Just to let you know the 6 line has all the R62AS with no more R142AS on the Pelham 6 line until the Brand New R262/As comes to replace all the R62AS R62S on the 1 3 6 S lines for CBTCS wich is 100% coming real soon on the 4 5 6 S lines.
New York Subway is Awesome 😎👍
We share this same opinion. 🫡🏆
Amazing work once again! I am dissapointed since it wasnt an R142A but im still grateful you were able to make this video 😊. Thank you!
We appreciate you and thank you for your support.
I strongly recommend doing this on the 6 southbound trip, but include the turnaround in the abandoned City Hall Loop. That would be cool.
We can’t wait for you to see it. Coming soon
Burnside Avenue my home and childhood station 🚉 since the late 1980s
We’re honored that we’re able to show it to you from this perspective.
Rode this line every day from Fordam to 125th Street in the summer of 2013. Then I moved to Queens and took the E/F to Kew Gardens from 42nd Street after work and finally to the UWS and the 1/2/3 train line to various locations throughout the 5 Boros. Now I live in a part of the country that has no public transportation. Has the MTA gone back to 24-hour service?
Thanks for sharing this about the line you used to ride quite often. As it relates to the question, at this current time yes and so we believe NYC is back to being, “the city that never sleeps.” We can thank NYCT and their employees for that. 🫡🫡
4 train extension down Utica Avenue remastered, let’s go.
The 4 would branch off south from Crown Heights - Utica Avenue to go down along Utica Avenue.
First station-
Empire Blvd - Lefferts Av (or just Empire Blvd for short) - accessible, side platform, cool designs, and connection to the B12, B17, B46, and B46 SBS.
The line would go elevated, and pretty high up, maybe a few meters taller than the Flushing Line (7, ) and the Livonia Avenue Line (3).
This is to keep the bus lanes intact and the noise to be muffled a bit more.
And the geography of mid-south Brooklyn.
There would be a middle track forming, which I believe could be a potential express service along Utica Avenue, which could benefit riders. What do y’all think? It would stop at Empire Boulevard and skip Winthrop Street. Then it would go on and skip the side platform stops and stop at the island platform stops.
Next station-
Winthrop Street - elevated, accessible, side platform, ordinary design, and connection to the B46 and B46 SBS.
Elevated, along Utica Avenue.
Church Av - accessible, island platform, cool designs, and connection to the B35, B46, and B46 SBS.
Elevated, along Utica Avenue!
Next stop!-
Clarendon Rd - accessible, side platform, ordinary designs, and connection to the B46 bus service.
Next stop-
Kings Highway - Avenue H (just Avenue H for short, since the stop would be mainly located there) - accessible, side platform, nice designs, and connection to the BM2, B6, B7, B46, B46 SBS, and B103 bus services.
Elevated, along Utica Avenue.
Next and last stop-
Flatlands Av - accessible, island platform, elevated, very cool architecture, entrances and tile placement, and connection to the BM1, B46, B46 SBS, B82, and B82 SBS.
Announcements soon
Buh - Bye!

Utica Ave was my childhood home station
Thanks for sharing. How was it seeing it from this angle?
@@wtaenyc great. On those trips back to Utica I never got to see it from the rail fan window
this is my home train along with the d and b
We can’t wait for you to see the D. We hope you liked seeing your home station from this perspective.
@@wtaenyc ok
Soms moet ik aan een rollercoaster denken.....Zeer indrukwekkend deze subway.
Bedankt voor het delen; het heeft zeker dat achtbaangevoel. 🫡
