AHHHHH they finally opened it! When I was home early last month, the ironworkers told me two more months. It's amazing how they were able to fully relocate the stairways especially on the Manhattan-Bound Platforms while also maintaining the old mosaics that made the station unique. I can't wait until they finish up Parkchester.
It finally open 👏🏽 and I knew it all along, when I was 17 years old back in 2008 and I said to myself this station was expected to have a fully accessible station in the future. In fact, it’s the first time in 35 years to have a second elevator at this station on the elevated stations since Pelham Bay Park was the first accessible station that was installed between Late December 1989 or Early January 1990
260+ million dollars for an elevator in the MTA... Jesus we are a joke. I work in infrastructure repair and maintenance, with some experience handling contracts. The MTA has to be the most easily fleeced of all the institutions for this stuff.
@@MelGibsonFan it's a scam, MTA leaders overpaying their contractor buddies and getting a cut from it. And they want more money so we now have to pay congestion tolls and more money to get on the trains.
Pretty soon the R262/As open gangways and close ways will replacing all the R62AS R62s on the 1 9 3 6 S for CBTCS. Enjoy the R62AS R62s while they are in passenger service. I have a real spiritual feeling that the Pelham 6 line is gonna be the first one to get CBTCs I'm telling you.
The MTA didn’t just install “an elevator” they literally renovated the whole station, realigned utility lines, expanded the mezzanine, rebuilt staircases and added 3 21st Century Elevators. All of that adds uo
Can you do a vid of Woodhaven Blvd on the Z when they finish the elevator installation. I know the station is opened already but it would make more sense when everything is operational
@ no, it really isn’t. The 6 train runs on the Lexington Ave Line in Manhattan and then crosses into the Bronx on the Pelham Line. In the NYC subway system, trains run on multiple lines. A line can have multiple trains on it. A train is never referred to as its own line.
@@arielgonzalez5296 you can keep insisting that it’s either way, but 6 line is not defined anywhere in the NYC subway. It’s something that’s generally said (incorrectly) by non-New Yorkers.
An annoying design choice of new MTA elevators is the use of light blue floors. It's inevitable that these floors become kind of gross, and when they do, the light color makes it obvious, usually within only a couple of months. Make elevator floors black! The grime won't be as apparent and people's experience will be better
This station needed it badly , glad their finish , looks beautiful

Third party contractors are scamming MTA.

@@leecornwell5632 it's still gonna be a while until we get R262.

We are starting off 2025! Strong 2 elevators in 1 month Westchester Square and Queensboro Plaza
I don’t know why they took so long to install this elevator, but I’m very happy that they finally finished it nonetheless❤

The whole train station needs an upgrade!!
what about the new elevators on the woodhaven blvd station on the J and Z lines
Looks great
Amazing ❤❤❤❤
What r they doing with the turnstile?
OMNY
New display only shows one symbol/ letter ?
Surely in 2025, for 260 million, we can have more
Say “ street , mezzanine, and trains “
That's already a thing with the modernized underground elevators
I have noticing that every now and then the 6 Pelham line has been doing signal maintenances.
What on earth do "yes" and "no" buttons on an elevator do?
I believe they are for people that may not be able to talk when in an emergency and need to respond to whoever is helping them. not sure though.
This is correct.
6 train, not 6 line.
@@tsujimasen its either way.
