![[1K SPECIAL] History Of The IRT Redbirds](/img/n.gif)
What i love is when the cars black out and it’s totally normal … miss that lol
1:20
Lol that guy in the black town car reversing with the train!
I was 14 years old in 2002 and remembered taking the Redbird trains, thx for the memories!
I turned 9 in 2002. Started 4th grade. Went on a Disney Cruise that August. One other thing that was memorable about that year, too, was that my aunt was in between the hospital and nursing home that whole year due to complications from an incurable disease. We lost her in January the next year. The Disney Cruise was her last vacation. She was a woman who enjoyed traveling, so I'm glad the doctors at the nursing home granted her permission to go on that trip.
This brings me back memories of when I use to ride the Redbirds on the 7 train
born and raised in flushing..was 18 years old in 2002..feels like yesterday..thanks for the trip down memory lane
Glad you enjoyed it
What I really appreciate about the redbirds is the presence of individual handles as opposed to just a long handlebar to hold onto. These handles encouraged more people to step towards the centre of the car, something which New Yorkers today can't seem to figure out how to do.
Retractable grab holds. I always preferred a pole. If you are shorter than about 5 foot 6 the grab holds were almost unreachable.
What a blast from the past!!! I definitely miss those red-birds flying down the tracks.
Redbirds were the most beautiful equipment ever in the IRT! Great rides and great memories I've ever had! ☺️👍🏾🚉
True! :)
I’m saying.
That's a Fact. Other Cities like, Chicago, LA. Philly, DC and others don't know about this!
This is when the R62As were being transferred to the (7) line to replace the Redbirds.
Since I was born in 1997, three types of subway cars had dominated the IRT Flushing Line. First the Redbirds (R33WF & R36WF), then the R62As and now the R188s. I still love the old SMEE trains, but the NTT trains eh, they are okay. I really do not like the NTT trains a bit but I really do not hate them. The only thing that the NTT trains they can be equipped with CBTC, and the IRT Flushing Line is one of them. Plus I love the New York Mets paint scheme on one of the Redbirds, I love all the MLB Teams, but the New York Mets & New York Yankees are my favorites because I’m from NYC and I want the Mets and Yankees to win. So I’m a Mets and Yankees fan because I’m a true New Yorker.
BUT THE R46 IS BEING REPLACED WITH THE R211
13:38 The New York Mets orange and blue paint scheme at the rear end of the R33WF or R36WF Redbird. Great catch trainluvr!
Awesome! I’ll never forget the first and only time I rode the R33/R36 (7) train with my family when I was a young child. I was either 2 or 3 at that time. The R62As too, they are legendary and have been a very integrative factor of my childhood being something to appreciate and love, although it has its own flaws LOL
Thank you Trainluvr. Enjoyable seeing these classic trains in action! Many of us are grateful that you captured this history in this and your other videos.
My pleasure!
@@trainluvrHi, question. Do you have any videos where the G train ran to Forest hills ? Like in the 90’s ?
nice video, I always wondered how New York would've looked like in the early 2000's
Nice to remember the old neighborhood
The Redbirds! My teen/high school years.
This is so awesome! I was like 1 years old when this video was taken, and about 1 and a half years old in 2003 going on two years old when these retired. Thanks so much for the memories! :)
The MEMories? 🧐
@@sydnibaker1628 Yeah, these Redbird trains have been RETIRED since November of 2003.
@@sethmtanyct I remember riding the Redbirds on the (2) (4) (5) and the Pelham (6) line back in the 1990's as a child. I miss the Redbirds. That was my childhood train. You can still ride the Redbirds today but only on the museum's Train Of Many Colors once a year.
@@SuperheroJunior Oh yes I’m aware. I’m planning to go to the holiday train event for the last two Sunday’s. Thanks again!
my aunt used to live near elmhurst, my parents told me i went there, but i was still a baby so i don't remember. She left that home in elmhurst around 2008-10ish
I miss Redbirds they look brand new still
God bless you trainlver 🙌
Soo many memories on riding the REDBRIDS in NYC as a kid even in my early 20's
Thanks for the inspiration in Trainluvr I’m going to do this with my wooden trains
Car is going backwards across the intersection at 1:21
Cool and wow nice lucky u got lots of clips of stuff like this then and ahhh my home station at 11:04 wow wish I got to see that then lol was only 1 at the time
Same year the film Spider-Man was released showing those trains
Yeah, but Spider-Man was recording in 2001
@@Dariadubs... thx for that
Beautiful. =)
Epic
nice video
I was born 11/28/02 so I never got a chance to see the redbirds in revenue 😆 im excited I'll be alive until the 22nd century to see what comes after the R188
What with the car driving backwards at 1:21?
Idk something about those red birds subway trains made New York, New York. A lot of people can agree those trains were special
The MTA should consider painting the R142/A's red.
Wow, the suspension on these cars were so bad
The Archetypal NYCTA Subway Car!
Nice!
local was on the express track and express was on local?? 14:25
Hey Trainluvr you got any footage of the r27/r30s and r38s?
Not a single person with a cellphone at 74st looks kinda weird nowadays.
I think it was december 2002 in queens and manhattan.
Wow they’re rebuilding the area to mets willits point I wonder to what now, it is crazy that around those two stadiums it was an industrial area and they are making it to I assume commercial
is 1:58 90th Elmhurst Street?
I was born in 2012 so i didnt see any Redbird train(R33)
The transit museum will be running the redbird train in early November. Why not come out and see it go by on the Lexington Avenue line? When I was your age I loved trains. I missed the last year of operation of the Third Avenue El (Bronx) because I did not know what it was or that it was about to close. Had I asked my father to take me there he would have gladly.
