      @R68 N Train Productions My favorite trains, only because they are one handed operation and they are less prone to breakdowns because they are new lol. They do slide in the rain a LOT, so we have to be careful most of the time. The cabs are comfortable and they are easier to operate. It's like playing a video game almost haha

    Great ride. At 5:37, on the right-hand side, it's the abandoned Richmond Hill station of the LIRR, looking toward Forest Park and beyond that the former Glendale, Fresh Pond, Haberman, and Penny Bridge stations on the way to Long Island City.

      Bobby Brady Low ridership in these areas made it not worth it to upgrade these stations for high level boarding for the then-new C3 LIRR cars.

    What surprises me is the short run between terminals. it surprises me that they keep this line. Running nine car trains on such a short distance seems hard to believe that they consistently have enough ridership to keep the line running especially in todays strict rules for maintaining a cost effective short system.

    • @santiago1026
      @santiago1026 Рік тому +1

      You'd be surprised at the traffic the J has. In the AM rush, around 6/7/8 it would be packed. Same for the evening. It connects to multiple other lines (A/C/E/F/L/M/N/Q/R/2/3/4/5/6) so it easily lets you go to multiple parts of the city

    • @santiago1026
      @santiago1026 Рік тому +1

      Trains usually run 10 mins between each other, but after midnight, frequency is reduced kinda drastically since not many people are taking it, cutting some costs. However that can probably be said about multiple lines throughout the system

    There are SO MANY POV VIDEOS of subway rides, yet I'm told it's not possible to get permission to place a camera on the front of one. How are they happening all the time, then?

    • @AngelusBrady
      @AngelusBrady 2 роки тому

      There are some people who do it without permission. However, the J used to use R32 and R42 trains which have a front window so people just stand there for the entire train ride and holding up a camera.

      that “high pitched buzzing” is the A/C vaporators. The R42s do the same noise too and to be honest it’s less annoying in person. I like the sound

    • @simonyovino2126
      @simonyovino2126 6 років тому

      The MTA has the lines divided into sections so that it can keep track of where the trains are, so I guess the signal in the middle of the station is because that's the start of a new section

      That's a Track Inspection Car parked on an unused section of rail. They roll down the different lines and are used to detect any problems with the tracks like warping or buckling. Many major railways in the US use a variant of it to inspect their tracks.

      Is the express track considered an unused section of rail? Or is the line not an express line anymore?

      K Bron The Express Track is used for service disruptions when one of the local tracks needs to be taken out of service.

    This line needs serious improvement. Too many sharp curves that slows down the travel time by too much.

    • @TheRailLeaguer
      @TheRailLeaguer 5 років тому

      David Wu Agreed. Also too long. Currently, J/Z passengers coming from Jamaica empty the train at Broadway Junction after being fed up with the slow travel times to Lower Manhattan. These guys usually crowd the A train to get to Lower Manhattan faster.
      To mitigate this, a new connection between the Broadway Line and the Fulton Street Local tracks, as well as a new subway under Jamaica Avenue from the Fulton Street Line to Jamaica Avenue El will be built, replacing the elevated structure over Fulton Street. The 5 stops would be replaced with two: Artlington Avenue and Highland Place.
      From here, the R and W would be rerouted from the 4th Avenue Line to the Fulton Street Line local tracks, allowing for the C service to be express to Lefferts Blvd, allowing for A service to solely serve Far Rockaway. Using the existing track infrastructure in Brooklyn and Queens, the R would travel to Euclid Avenue and the W would take over the J train to Jamaica Center. The J would operate between Broadway Junction and 95th Street, with the Z becoming part of this new J train.
      In addition, the R and W would also be rerouted to the Astoria Line, which would be extended to LaGuardia Airport. The N would be rerouted to 96th Street. At this point, the R would be based out of Pitkin Yard and the W out of East New York Yard. This would be a separate project in of itself since it would involve lengthening the platforms on the Jamaica Avenue El as well as modifying the yard for longer trains.
      To replace the R on Queens Blvd, a new K route would be created. Using the existing track infrastructure in Manhattan and Queens, the K would operate between 71st Avenue and World Trade Center via Queens Blvd Local and 8th Avenue Local. The M would be rerouted via 63rd Street, and the C and D routes swap so that the C is the 8th Avenue express from Canal Street to 145th Street, then on the Concourse Line to Norwood-205th Street, while the D would be 8th Avenue local from 59th Street to 168th Street.
      Any future changes to E, F, J, K, and M train service will grow out of my developing plans for the Nassau-8th Avenue connection.

      Bobby Brady If only that we’re possible. I do intend to keep some, take down a few, and maybe create a new aerial guideway.

    • @TheRailLeaguer
      @TheRailLeaguer 5 років тому

      @Bobby Brady Case by case scenario. For the Jamaica Line, I find it cheaper to retain the elevated structure east of Cypress Hills, and connect that with the Fulton Street Line.

    I can never understand the logic of yellow or red signals for no apparent reason. There are clearly no trains ahead. Forcing trains to crawl between stations and even into stations just delays customers and induces unnecessary motion sickness. If you need to improve spacing then hold at the prior station but let them travel unimpeded between stations.
