Thank you so much for taking the time to share these timestamps with the community. Your consistent support is greatly appreciated. 🫶🏆
The city hall loop RIGHT from the jump, love it! I like the fun fact too!
I love how the train operators communicate with each other by blowing the horn ❤❤
Awesome video with the best view! Better this than my usual commute. Just a few more facts!
3:35 - Abandoned Worth St station. Closed in 1962. Strangely, the southbound platform was extended to 10 cars, but the northbound platform was not.
5:13 - You see space of the "5th track" between the express tracks at Spring St.
7:24 - 7:40 - Closed off section of the original northern platform extension. (Accessible behind the double doors)
11:00 - Abandoned 18th Street Station. Closed in 1948.
Thank you for sharing 🫡🏆
For those wondering why trains only run express until Parkchester and switch to the local tracks whereas 6 local trains short-turn at Parkchester when the express is running, Pelham Bay Park doesn’t have the capacity to turn around all trains in time, unlike at Brooklyn Bridge where trains simply go around the City Hall loop. Also, while the right tracks do exist, express trains between Parkchester and the terminus would run almost empty since it skips all stations until the terminus and only those who want to get off at the last station would be in it. So the current service pattern is in place. However, there is the disadvantage of trains having to wait for each other east of Parkchester, since local trains turn around using the express track and express trains switch to the local tracks with both operations using the crossovers and crossing over each other’s paths. An alternative to this bottleneck would be to have local and express trains stay on their respective tracks and continue to Pelham with some local trains terminating at Westchester Sq-E Tremont Ave via the yard lead tracks, since they use flying junctions rather than level junctions.
BTW, there are two sets of yard lead tracks, one leaving the yard heading south and the other heading north. So using the southern yard lead tracks for short-turns wouldn’t be an issue since the northern ones can be used instead and therefore, trains leaving the yard can start at Middletown Rd and end at Pelham and trains bound for the yard can start and terminate at vice versa, despite only serving three stations. Furthermore, the southern yard tracks merge into one upon entering the yard whereas the northern ones are double all the way and like the southern ones, the northern ones use flying junctions as well. This means that the southern tracks can act like a pocket track. I actually wish this service pattern would be in place to eliminate bottlenecks and be able to run trains in and out of the yard at the same time. Looking at the layout on Vanshnookenraggen’s track map will show you what I mean.
0:30. For those wondering, the route to the left leads to two layup tracks that end in bumpers.
they don't switch over to express tracks?
@@Blackhomeking12Nope. I’ve seen it myself. I thought it connects to the express tracks but it doesn’t. It’s a strange dead end tho.
@@Blackhomeking12 If you look in www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/docs/NYC_full_trackmap.pdf The left route splits off into 2 tracks that end in a bumper but were originally intended to continue back in to fulton st in the south.
@@Blackhomeking12 It used to connect to the express tracks, but they were disconnected in 1963.
I love that you included the city hall loop for the NB route as well, great video as always!
🫡♾️
Nice ride on my home subway line! I have been riding the #6 since the 1950s. My home station was St. Lawrence Avenue. Fun to follow along the route with my copy of "Tracks of the New York City Subway", and seeing the infrastructure. Back in the day, rode the Lo-V cars, through all the later iterations of subway cars since then. Nice seeing the City Hall loop at the start!!

Another fantastic video. I'm always looking forward for them. Well done !!!!

I love your video feed, but haven't commented before now. The footage of the Old City Hall took my breath away! Thank you so much!
And Thank you for your continued support; it is truly an honor to showcase such a unique & amazing system. 🏆🫡
Great as always. Used to work in that part of the Bronx Pelham Bay. I remember the Red Birds on that line and the R142's were just coming into service.
OK, so this is a complaint, but not too serious. Your previous method of naming the stations upon arrival was much easier to read. Now even on my large TV screen, I can barely make out what the information is. You are picturing a phone with tiny type and a lot of wasted space. Go back to as recently as the previous video and observe how much easier that was to read. Video quality is excellent as usual.
Thank you so much for this feedback as it will definitely be looked at for future plans. 🫡♾️
I agree. The "phone" idea is OK, but you need to scale you font sizes so we can see them.
@@wtaenyc New C Train Pls
@@Mrbeahz1 your opinion is truly appreciated.
I like how it shows what’s going on above ground and the general direction you’re going, I personally just wish the text was much bigger. It’s hard to read on a small device too, to be honest.
Crystal clear video and just like sitting in the front of the train. Thanks.

Great Video Shout Out To All NYC Subway Motorman's Keep Doing You With Excellent Success
Another quality video. I like the way the stops are displayed. Nice addition. Used to be a C/R on the 6 durian the week and the 5 on weekends. As I watch these videos I’m always reminded that I got to work a great job that I always wanted to do since I was a kid riding an R9 (I think) on the D train heading out to Brooklyn. Wouldn’t doing this for real be a great thing I thought back then…yeah i5 was great that’s for sure. These days I don’t live in NY but the memories are there and your excellent videos remind me as well. Many thanks for a quality product!
Thank you for sharing this as we appreciate, not only your kind words but also the service you gave to the city. It's an honor to know that the videos are able to bring you back in time and assist you in revisiting the city through those memories. Looking forward to more of your transit history as you continue to watch and support. 🫡♾️
Thank you for this. Watching this takes me back in time - I would ride in the front of the R 40 Slants and just stand up and watch the whole ride back in the 80's on the West End Line. Back then, the B was running over the West End, until the W replaced it for a short time during the Stillwell Ave station rebuild, and now the D Line. 👍👍
Thanks for taking the time to share a bit of history as it relates to the train lines back when you rode the train and the R40Slants were still in service. It is an honor to assist with said memories and we look forward to maintaining your support. 🫡🏆
Another dope vid as always. Thanks for the "previously on" at the beginning of the vid. That gave me a good laugh. 😂

Very cool that you added the cell phone map showing the train route and stops. Might be even cooler if you used the aerial view so we can see the buildings and streets, too, but very clever either way.

Coo video of the 6 line
I can not remember the last time I rode #6 Pelham Bay park train.
I remember taking to catch the Jones beach bus.
Great Video! Best recommended to put the "" or "6 Express", since it's Pelham Express for the video title!
Thank you for sharing; the title has been updated. 🫡🏆
Notification set! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice work on this video Welcome To An Experience! I like to take the 6 train home from the Festival of San Gennaro; And when I get out of Eileen's Special Cheesecake Restaurant! I catch the 6 train from Spring Street! And I'm deciding to stay and go all the way to Pelham Bay Park, and get either the Bx12 local bus or as Knuckles of the Super Subway Brothers would call it: The Bx12 Chicken Select Bus Service! Or will the R142/R142a 4 train pick me up from 14th Street Union Square and take me straight to Fordham Road?
Lexington Avenue Local/Pelham Express to pelham
Thank you for sharing God bless you and your family 🙏
🫡🏆♾️
So are we doing 6 local to parkchester or the 2 or 5 trains to flatbush av via their respective lines, or the 3 train to 148th st
Awesome video WTAE! Could you do the R211T? The MTA released the R211T( open gangway trains) they are now running on the C Line, if possible could you do a video on it please?
Thank you so much and welcome the R211T to the system. 🏆
nice
Love the R62s, still my favorites. All that shrieking the R142s do when they accelerate is irritating lol
I'm guessing it's the J to Jamaica Center. But I'm really looking forward to the 2 to Flatbush or 3 to Lenox.
Dope as always, thank you!! Anyone know why the express stretch btwn 3ave-138th and hunts point is so slow?!
Great question. Do you believe that the curves the tracks take, have anything to do with it?
Id say either an N line or a return trip A to Far Rock, 2 to Flatbush 3 to Lenox or 6 to Pelham
OUTSTANDING VIdeo. Question: How did you attach the camera to the window? You could not have used a tripod. Suction cups?
Thank you so much. 🫡

Добрый вечер из другого конца земли.
Карта с дальнейшем направлением нравится.
Вы можете в начале видео выкладывать карту Нью Йорка с нанесенным на неё маршрутом целиком, чтобы примерно знать, где именно он проходит. Это интересно для тех кто не живёт в США.
You should do M train front view to 57th Street. Ik due ti track replacements on the 63rd street line F train are running on the M line between Rockfeller center and Roosevelt Avenue and M trains are nit running between Rockefeller Center and Forest Hills so during this time all M trains end at 57th street
2 more weeks, Marissa will be back with Echo via 53rd Street.
@@kitsunefaye1661 so wait in 14 days The M will resume on the 53rd street line and will go back to its Actual Northern end which is Forest Hills 71st Avenue?
@@KeshaunPlays Yes, she should be. So if my fellow railfans wanna capture Faith going down her old corridor (53rd Street), now’s the time to get full rides and capture her and Echo working as a team. ☺️
A question that I have always had about the NY subway is why there are those clacs or "bumps" on the tracks. Someone who can explain me?
Same question
The way to put the tracks together. They are where the joints (ends of the track) meet is causing the sound unlike continuous welded tracks which is a long piece of rail with less joints
@@nybone24 thx for answer my doubt
Can you do the Q or N line?
42-52 catch-up for local))
At 33St, the track to the left of the train seems to be on a downgrade, where is that track going?
Great observation. That is how the express tracks were constructed for reasons related to the infrastructure it’s imagined.
@@wtaenyc COOL!!
The express tracks stay level, while the local tracks slowly incline from south to north to allow for the easier deceleration of local trains. This results in a layout where the express tracks are at a lower elevation than the local tracks in the northern half of the station

Beautiful video showing us what it’s like “On the 6” (if you know you know). My only complaint is just like everybody else’s, the phone graphic displaying the station names. I think (this may be MY take on it) it may be just a little too much. Personally though, I wouldn’t mind it on a historic fact (like you did with the City Hall station), but the rest… no. But an amazing video nonetheless.

This is for all the kids that loved to watch the walls out the window cause our moms wouldn't go to the front car. As a adult I know wy lol. Those smells

Is it R62 or R62A/
