If you take the JMZ to Marcy Ave, there's still remnants of an old extension to an old ferry terminal that no longer exists. Look at where the billboard is located and you can see the remnants.
That was the Broadway Ferry terminal to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It opened in 1888 to serve the Ferry that was already in service for many years. When the bridge opened in 1908, the terminal was served by a shuttle train from Marcy Avenue with a stop on Driggs Avenue. It ended in 1916. And the tracks were used to store rush hour trains for express service.
These are some of the facts about the rapid transit system that I should have known about as a subway buff. I thank you for enhancing my understanding.
When you take a brooklyn bound F train to Lex 63 and look to the left of the train before pulling in to Lex 63, you will see a tunnel leading to nowhere. Most likely this will connect the F line to the SAS Phase 3.
Goodnite Sir. Now here are two other serects of MTA . One is another way to get on the J train at Kosciuszco st on the Westend side of station 🚉 located on Boadway and Dekalb ave . But it closed in 1980 due to high crime. But the MTA would've opend it .it would be the connection to the B-46 Select as well as B-46 local Q-24 and B-38 and B-47 ..Also now the G train route. The Myrtle ave-Willoughby ave station 🚉had another way to get on the Subway at Willoughby ave . But has ben closed way back in the day's sir .
Goodnite sir here's another gem of New York City Subway sir. Do you remember the 23 street Ely ave Station E F and Court Sq G and 7 Trains was'nt connected. Back in the days you had to change outside from 23 F and F street Ely ave to make connect for for the 7 train. Lucky for everybody the MTA had connect EMG and 7 trains at Court Sq stations 🚉 sir.
On the 7 train (Flushing Line) I've noticed some green structures, like little sheds on the same level as the track (somewhere along Queen Blvd). I'm not sure what they are or what their purpose is. I can't find anything about them online, does anyone here know what they are?
Love the videos and appreciate the appreciation of the system. Just a comment, could yu please try to slow down or speak clear just a tad. Keep up the good work
YOO, i might just love learning these facts or sumn but you deadass blew my mind when you said it was abandoned in 1942 so the B42 bus line would take place of that old rail line extension, mind blown for me bro lmaooo😂
One secret of the subway in Manhattan, im not sure if this was said but if you take the (7) to the last stop, 34 - Hudson Yards, while you're getting ready to pull into the station, there's actually signs before entering the station that you can see thru the windows that state "XX(X) FEET UNTIL STATION". I don't know, just seemed cool to add.
There's a storage line aka 5th line in between Queens Plaza and 36 St., specifically between Queens Plaza and where the current F train ascends/descends into 21 St. Queensbridge. I remember seeing an E train being stored on the 5th line along with a works train.
As a kid in 1985 we moved to NYC I wA 16 I only went to school for the train pass and rode every single subway line from beginning to end Staten Island too and walked the west shire tracks
At W.33rd st. & 7th ave. next to the famous Sbarro is 159 33rd. St. INSIDE this building's vestibule there is an entrance to the 2/3 train lines. No one would know this as there are no "train entrance" or "2,3" signs on the outside of the building. My mom worked there in the 90's and as a kid I always found that fascinating. Seeing the Hotel St. George in this video reminded me of it.
Goodmorning sir . And thank-you for the history lesson and that was a great video sir. Did you know that it use be a extra Subway Station Between Flushing ave and Mytle ave on the J and M subway lines. In the 1800's to 1919 or 1916. It was called Park ave station sir. Also sir there's still a connect between the J train and Ltrains at B'way Junction . But here's something that alot of folks still don't Know about the Boadway Junction train st names for the A and C it something different Boadway. The station was once called Manhattan Junction way back . 1885 . This subway station had change it's name a few times over the years. It was called Boadway East New York on the A and C and On the J and Z and L it was was called Eastern Parkway Station back in the days also. But it was change about 20 years ago. To just Boadway Junction I believe. Sir.

By Boadway Junction The J /Z witch use to when a train 🚉 needs to make a move to allowe another train 🚉to either enter the East New York Yard .

Are there any remnants or visible ROW today of the Canarsie line(from Rock park to the pier) ???
Yes some parts are now alleys between buildings that a trolley shuttle used until service ended in 1942.
At W.33rd st. & 7th ave. next to the famous Sbarro is 159 33rd. St. INSIDE this building's vestibule there is an entrance to the 2/3 train lines.
