Join us in saying, "Thank You," to all the employees of the NYCT.
Great video, brings back a lot of memories. My dad was a motorman on the BMT. When I was a kid back in the '60's he would let me go to work with him sometimes. Grab a hot dog at Nathans then get the train in the yard. I would stand at that front window the whole trip. On the trip back I'd get off at Kings Hwy and catch the bus home...
Shoutout to your pops and to the memories you shared with this line and system; thanks for sharing. 🫡
Watching that video had me wishing it was summertime already so that I can hop on the Q train to Coney Island and make my way over to Riegelmann Boardwalk so that I can get a lobster roll, side order of fries, and an ice cold lemonade from Paul's Daughter.
Thank you so much for sharing. It’s seems like a gift and a curse that our video can bring you to that euphoria feeling. Shoutout to the restaurant you mentioned and we can’t wait for you to get that experience once again. Sending positive blessings to you and your family.
@@wtaenyc And thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it and your other videos. They have become a form of therapy for me.
Oh
It's summer now

I. Love. Trains!!!!!
🏆🏆 Which line is your favorite?
Howdy from Texas & it’s good to be back! It’s backing childhood memories of Coney Island
Sending you and yours, nothing but positive blessings to y’all in Texas. Honored to bring back those childhood memories of the amazing Coney Island area.
Good ole Brighton line
🟠🟠(DQ) , 🟡🔶(QQ) ,🟠🟡(BQ) . We have been thru alot over the decades but we’re still up and running 💪🏾. Thanks for the ride once again
And thank you for sharing that bit of history.
And thank you for sharing that bit of history. Maximum respect 🫡
Years ago it used to be the D that ran Express
and the. M which ran local it took you forever to get anywhere with the local,
They used to break down like crazy,,
Over 40 years ago and it still runs a little slow in my eyes but a whole lot better
Good Morning. Born and raised in Brooklyn. Grew up talking the No. 2 Train when it went to New Lots. Then got off at Atlantic Ave to transfer to the M train when it went to Coney Island Brought back memories also use to take the Franklin Ave Shuttle back in the mid 70's going to JR High School out in Flatbush Ditmas JH School( out here they call it "Middle School) The NY Daily News and the Post along with the radio stations 1010 wins and WCBS 880 and TV station WPIX used to keep me connected. Now it's your videos and they look great on my 50 inch Roku tv and they are relaxing. Thank you and also the Transit workers. My late best friend came from a family who served the City working for the transit Agency.
Sending positive blessings to you and the family of your late friend; We thank them for their service to NYC. Thank you for sharing your memories as well as we are honored that our video can bring you back to those times. We’re glad to know you can enjoy the content in high definition and we hope to continue earning your support. 🫡
Most scenic ride. Especially in the beginning and some real nice stations at the end 96 St.
It’s quite a scenic ride indeed. Thank you so much for sharing.
Now if it only continued on into the Bronx, it could once again become an elevated line all the way to Co-op City.
I love watching these videos!!! Please keep them coming.
We appreciate you for your support.
Was waiting for another R46 video. Love these things. Awesome as always.
Thank you so much. We appreciate your support.
Brighton Line tracks have changed a lot over the years especially the elevated portions, great video!
Thank you so much 🫡
👍 Phenomenal Video, Thank You For Making This. Thumbs Up.
We appreciate you for your support. It’s our pleasure.
Great ride as always! Thank you!
And thank you for your support.
One of my favorite lines! This one brought back some great memories as I went to high school on the Upper East Side and the SAS opened while I was there, using that to commute was surreal and I'll never forget that experience.
It’s an honor to bring you back those lovely memories. Thank you so much for sharing.
St. Ignatius perhaps. That run-on sentence would not be allowed at Regis.
Or are you a product of Dalton? 🥸
Your content is truly something unique. It’s awesome being able to see a head on view of the route, certainly something that I miss. You guys should do a 360 video, that with a VR headset would be freakin awesome. Thank you so much for providing content like this to us. ❤
It is truly an honor. You’re definitely onto something as it relates to a 360 view; we tried that at first but the camera quality was not worthy of a true experience but the VR headset is something we hope we can bring to the transit museum along with some cool games while there. We definitely appreciate your support
36:46 That emergency exit on the right leads to the northbound platform of the IRT Bergen Street station.
Great observation.
Another great adventure!
We’re glad it didn’t disappoint.
I gotta love how huge the second ave subway looks. Looks so futuristic! Nice Video!
Time to (W)atch another experience now!
Thank you so much. We look forward to the expansion along with all the improvements that are taking place, as it relates to this city and its amazing system.
@@wtaenyc no problem. even though its been 5 months I still need to (W)atch that video lol
@aqua2poweros699 Theres nothing futuristic about it. You only think that because of how old everything else is.
Excellent. Hope for everyone to see more of your Subway front window view videos this year. : )
Thank you so much.
@@wtaenyc No problem. 😀
Brought me back to 2017 goin up to the second avenue line in Manhattan for the first time… 💛💛💛
It’s an honor to bring back that memory. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful I'm from the UK and was in NYC back 2015 on holiday and rode the Q train line. I visited Times Square multiple times during my 2 months stay. Would love to visit again and learn more about the Metrocard system still have the old ticket stubs lol
Thanks WTAE for taking my suggestion. I really like the (Q) and many can understand why I suggested this
We truly appreciate you for your suggestion and support. 🫡
My old home line. The memories I have on this line are great
Glad we can assist with them.
Idk how you do it but this is some of the best front ride views of the NYC subway
Thank you so much. We appreciate you for sharing.
Enjoyed!
We appreciate your feedback.
That video look really good video on the front of the train
Thank you so much. We appreciate you for your support 🫡🏆
Another good vid on the (Q)uincy line. I have operated on this line quite often last year. It's a good but pretty long line on the Brighton line Section. On some days I wish I was on the B train passing me as I was stopping at on the local station. It does get better once you're in Manhattan after you cross the Bridge it goes a little faster. It does go very white knuckles for me when it's fall and leaves on the tracks you have to operate the train so carefully that you don't slide out the station!!
We can only imagine the difficulty you face during those times; respect to you for overcoming those challenges while still maintaining your excellent service. We appreciate you for your service to this city and it’s an honor that you approve of the video 💯🫡
52:15 ahhh that hvac start up sound satisfying af
The video I needed. 😍
We hope it didn’t disappoint.
Thanks for another great upload!
Thanks for bringing out the kid in me!
I've been a Subway junkie since 1980.
I hope you guys do the 5 Line from Dyre Avenue to Brooklyn College.
Yess the 5 is my home line please do it
It’s an honor to bring you back to your childhood memories when you rode those lovely red birds that were on the 5 line. We truly appreciate your support, thank you for your service and can’t wait for you to see it. 🫡
@@wtaenycI can't wait to see it myself!
Thank you.
Our pleasure 💯🫡
The song of DC traction is the sound of the subways in my mind. I know nostalgia isn't a reason to stick with something, but aside from the R160 Siemens, none of the AC motors have ever sounded good to me. I will definitely miss hearing this.
We’re glad that you were able to enjoy that experience, while it still last, through this video. These trains will definitely be missed.
Awsome train ride hopefully that line will be extended to 125 or beyond
Sas phase two is aready funded and construction preparation is underway
@Alex The mta and r211,weather, fan can't wait until it's completed thanks
Yeah in 10-20 years maybe.
We definitely look forward to seeing that happening.
@Welcome to An Experience that would be wonderful if it went further up town like 145 or to 181st, I know I'm really stretching it, love nycta
Thank you for this video! Its been very helpful constructing my game on Roblox.
We appreciate you for sharing and we hope you give a huge shoutout to the NYCT employees during your game construction. 🫡

Thank you so much for providing this information for this video. We truly appreciate your work and look forward to more amazing work in the future.
@57:12 to the left of the track, that is probably the old underpass from the original 1904 IRT station above, I don't believe it goes all the way down to BMT track level but about half way or so. Either way, that's why the tracks "split" a bit so they can accommodate it. I also think you can see the extended BMT mezzanine above, which has long been covered up and forgotten.
Historical comment- the Q during the early MTA was split into QT(via Tunnel),and QB(via Bridge),and those were the former BRT/BMT local/ Express lines on the Brighton line! Also when the old elevated lines were in operation,there was overhead trolley operation,and combined streetcar terminals! That was long before Stillwell Avenue was born! See the ERA book,on the BRT/BMT prior to 1940,interesting history!! Thank you 😇 😊!
And we thank you for sharing this amazing information as it relates to this line. It’s truly amazing how far the train and system has come and we look forward to seeing all that it has in store. 1940’s to now…interesting history, interesting progression and interesting genius that is the NYC Subway 😮💨🫡🏆
Aha! Someone else remembers the old QB and QT services; I'll bet they also remember the trackage before the Christie street connection....
I think I know why the Second Avenue Subway is the IND Second Avenue Line and not the BMT Second Avenue Line despite connecting to the BMT Broadway Line as a continuation of the latter’s express tracks via 63rd St. When the full line opens, its southern terminus will be Hanover Sq and served by the upcoming T train. However, there may be a possibility of the line extending further and connecting to Brooklyn via a new tunnel and link with the IND Fulton Street Line at Court St which is a continuation of the line’s local tracks and has been converted to the NY Transit Museum. This would mean the museum would have to permanently close down but it’s the only reason for the Second Avenue Line being IND and not BMT that meets my eye.
I don't understand why there still is a timer coming into the 57th Street station on the northbound express track. 57th Street is no longer a terminal, and the track ahead of the station is clear.
Great observation. We are sure as the system continues to improve their work, they will do what’s necessary to make the trips faster and more efficient. 🫡
Nice to see a Q Train video. Would’ve loved it if was an R68, but the R46 will do.
We appreciate your support.
@@wtaenyc thanks for the video! As a transit and rail enthusiast, it brings a whole different perspective to perhaps those who want to see a video first before riding. In the old days, nobody would’ve ever thought in seeing these videos. Though back in the bad days, you’d perhaps get that camera ripped off as soon as it came on. It’s great that the MTA gave you full cooperation in your production to these videos.
We are sorry we didn’t get your preference but we’re glad that it was good enough to meet your standards of satisfaction. We hope to continue earning your support.
Great video! Amazing contrast in the tracks from Coney Island to the 2nd Ave stops on 86th and 96th. How about the 5 and 6?
Thank you so much for sharing. We definitely can’t wait for you to see them both.
God I can't wait for the T train to open up
Will definitely be interesting to see.
I live not too far from 2nd avenue
Perfect work on this video Welcome To An Experience! Can you try to do this video again but with the ASMR reading to indicate what the next stop is?
🫡
If you freeze it at 41:46 and you look to the right side you will notice the abandon Myrtle Ave. Station.. Not in use because it was built to only accommodate 4 subways cars.. Not the 10 cars that are used today..in the system
Great observation. Thanks for sharing.
You should do Rockaway park Shuttle and A train to Lefferts Boulevard. Also great video
Thank you so much and we can’t wait for you to see it.
48:38 That back tunnel straight ahead of us really goes deep; some distance. I guess that was before the BMT knew where it was going. Changes, changes, and changes. Aarre Peltomaa
Great observation. Let’s see what other changes they make.
I rode this line from DeKalb Ave to Coney Island/Stillwell Ave
How’d you like that experience?
@@wtaenyc It was nice. I had never been on that line until July of this past year. I was coming from the hotel I was staying at in lower Manhattan to go for a swim at Coney Island Beach.
I wish I could record something like this! The only way I could record the front view is by recording those dusty front windows on the R160's
We are sure had you had our resources, the genius in you would have done it so shoutout to you either way🫡
Nice video! Wondering when the new stations will open? The tunnel after station 96 street looks already built.
Great question. We’ll have to wait and see for sure.
First and epic videos
Thank you so much.
I've been on that Q train before! And I heard the engine! It sounds like the R46! And I've been on this type of Q train every July 4th/Independence Day to the Coney Island Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest to cheer on Joey "Jaws" Chestnut! And those trains are slow as a 3 toed sloth climbing up the tree in January! And you know that I hate slow trains!
Fair point. We can agree that slower trains are a bit boring. We can’t wait for the system to get more resources so they can acquire more modern trains to create the faster system NYC deserves. 🫡🫡
That timer at 49 st amd 57 just kills that fast express run from 42nd along with those timers on G2 north of 57.
Great observation.
Very good!!! 😊👍The initial stretch at Coney to the underground start, super. 🎉 I'm already a daily regular. One question: the stretch from the final stations to 96 st are newer, more recent in the system, right? And apparently there will be an extension, as there is a continuation of the gallery... I deduced because the furniture in these stations is different, more modern and in the last one, I noticed many workers on the platform.
The run up from 68 to 96 is the long-promised, and now partially built, Second Avenue Line. And the plan is to extend it north bound, then turning west to meet the 4,5, and 6 trains at 125th Street. Southbound extensions, continuing down 2nd Avenue are also planned.
You are correct, that area you mentioned is the most recent area that has been introduced into the system; if we’re not mistaken. We look forward to the extension happening and seeing what else can be done to modernize the system.
@@Mrbeahz1 ... 👍 Thanks. I hope the system continues to expand. 🚋🚋🚋🚋 😊
@@wtaenyc ... Very cool. 👍😊👍Thank you so much for answering me!!! 🙏 For a megalopolis like New York, it is vitally important that the system be expanded and continuously modernized. 🚋🚋🚋🚋 👏👏👏
The line SHOULD be continued on into the Bronx, instead of turning onto 125th street, which has an active fault line running along its entire length.
It's nice to see the 2nd Ave subway, such as it is, in action. (I hope they finish it in my lifetime!) But it sounded for most of the trip like the camera car had a broken wheel. The sound came and went, but it was still audible right at the end. What was that all about?
Great observation and question. We’re unsure as to what that noise was but we have to agree, we look forward to the completion of the 2nd ave lines in the near future as well and can’t wait to see them finish the amazing project.
@@wtaenyc it's a flat spot is there anyway to identify the car in question
17:42-Does this train stop at Brighton and then reverse, going back on the same route it came?
💯🫡
Epic ride. How many trains can be stored on both tracks after 96th, as layup?
Glad you liked it. Great question as well; one we’re not quite sure the answer to.
Do the C train one day.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. We will definitely consider it.
As I type this comment, the C train has already been done, but I think in one direction only so far....
Nice video! and also can you do one with r160 q train?
Thank you so much and we look forward to showing all we have to offer
Last year Welcome To An Experience; I couldn't see the HotDog Eating Contest at Coney Island! Because Mother Nature had other plans and she cried up a thunderstorm which forced me to see the competition on ESPN at home right after the semifinals of Wimbledon! And I was furious!
🙃🫡
if you freeze it at 39:15 you will notice to your left another unused portion of a subway tunnel that was abandoned and not in use..
Great observation. We are sure they have their reasons for not using it.
Nice video. It pains me how slow the train moves under Broadway. And why are the signals between 42nd and 57th designed to slow the trains down to a crawl at 49th?
We imagine it may have something to do with the switch after 57th but that is something we can only assume. Hopefully we all will gain more knowledge of the real answer and as time move forward, we send positive blessings that the necessary improvements will be made accordingly. Thanks again for sharing
Why was the connection between the lower and upper aquarium station abandoned?
Great question.
There are literally LOTS of abandoned stub ends of tunnels and elevated structures; those two tracks were removed because they represented "overcapacity". This also goes for several miles of express tracks that remain unused to this very day.
I. Like. Cony Island. And. 96th. Street
Wow
We will imagine that is a "good" wow. 🫡
@@wtaenyc yes
How far does the tunnel go past 96 st ?
Great question. We imagine as they are working on expanding it, we can only imagine how far they’ve reached now. We look forward to seeing it either way.
extention cable at brighton beach northbound local track @ 5:50
Great observation
2x speed is a joke on these trips sometimes. How long would this trip have been with all green signals?
That’s a great question.
From 41:40-42:00 is that the abandoned myrtle ave station with the zoetrope?
Yes that's correct
Has the zoetrope been removed? I didn't see it!
No, it's still there. You can see it at platform level.
Great observation and we see that a rail fan has gone ahead and answered your question. Thanks for asking. 🫡
We appreciate you for answering 🫡
I. Like. Long. Videos😃😃😃😃😃
yesssir
We hope it didn’t disappoint.
Why can't the Q train use the inner tracks for Ocean Parkway?
Why was Ocean Parkway built for express service if Brighton Was gonna be the terminus for the Express?
Great question as we imagine the reasoning for the construction and its current use now are entirely different. It is still used by some B trains, when entering or leaving its terminal, so as to not interfere with the Q service.
Probably because new crossovers might hafta be installed at that location to allow for quick turnbacks.
You should make videos on the new trains bro and round trips
Great suggestion. We appreciate you for making it and we can’t wait for you to see the return trips as well. 🫡
Why does this have not even 10k subscribers.
We're being patient and it would be an honor for us to get there. We appreciate you for saying this.
@@wtaenyc honestly it should have 100k
Can you the W train next to Whitehall street😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion.
Sounds like double flat spots on the wheels
Good ear. 🫶🫡
Lol compared to the other portions the 2nd ave part looks so high tech
Absolutely. We can’t wait for the entire system to be like this.
4:36 - Could I walk on top of the third-rail structure, and not die?
Walking on the tracks is for the trained individuals who have taken the necessary steps to complete said training.
We only know of the trained individuals to be the ones on the tracks and they are the ones who can correctly answer your question.
I wonder what the next video is going to be
We hope you like it when it is released. How are we doing so far?
need a 6 train view !!!!!!
We can’t wait for you to see it
Love them videos. R46 or 68?
The former. We appreciate your support 🫡
@@wtaenyc R46…?
Correct 🫡🫡
😮

How do the operators know when they’re about to encounter track workers?
Great question. Whenever track workers are on the track, there is a signaling system that they use to set up, alerting the train operator that track work is being done ahead. Once the train operator sees and acknowledges said signals, they will ensure to follow the correct safety procedures.
This information is given to them as they come on duty at their terminals. A printer produces several special schedules and bulletins informing the train ops of any unusual happenings along the right-of-way.
If the R46 retire the R211 should go in this line. I take this line allot and they should add the R211 on it
Is 41:40 an abandoned station?
Great observation
Great video! If you dont mind me asking how do you record these videos?
Thank you so much and great question. We are a team that has the necessary resources to make this happen. We are happy to see that you appreciate it and hope that as you do, you also give thanks to those truly responsible, the employees of the NYCT. 🫡
This team is part of the Transit Museum, I presume....
Thanks for posting the Q route, was really looking forward to seeing how they did the SAS extension. Thought it was worth mentioning how COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY that 1-shot GT timer signal is near 49th St (57:53 in the video), and then there's a two-shot GT signal a couple hundred feet after it as it approaches 57th/7th which seems redundant since 57/7th already has a 1-shot GT in the middle of the platform. Case in point, the LOCAL train overtakes the Q as it's pulling into 49th to stop because the Q has to slow down so much for that 1-shot GT. What is the point of these signals slowing the Q down?
It is purely straight track for 90% of that stretch from Times Sq/42 to 57/7 and there was no obvious switch near that GT signal to protect. Unless I'm missing something or there's another good reason, then ladies and gentleman this is a perfect example of why our subways are SOOOO SLOW. Unnecessary grade time signals slowing trains down.
Thank you so much for sharing and for pointing out the things you noticed. We would definitely love to see the system become even faster and as it relates to the timers, though your opinions on what can change are valid, being that we don’t know for sure the precise reason for them, it won’t be fair for us to judge or criticize without knowing. When we know the reasoning, it gives our opinions more validity. We send them positive blessings that as time moves forward, they will receive the funding to make the system faster, and remove all timers that are deemed unnecessary during the upgrades. Thanks again for sharing and we’re honored that you enjoyed it.
Can you do the number 6 train front view video
Great suggestion. We can’t wait for you to see it.
@@wtaenyc Great. Let's SEE IT then.
@@TrainfanJ we apologize that our work isn’t good enough to meet your standards and we also apologize that we made it seem as tho patience was something we felt our true fans would have as they would at least appreciate the fact that we’re even doing it at all. We understand that this isn’t the case so we apologize to you for making that assumption. Sending positive blessings and respect, to you and your family.
Gotta replace that flat wheel!!
Thank you for the suggestion. We send them positive blessings that all changes for the better will be done.
There are only two wheel truing machines, with one of them being AAR certified; they're both very seriously backlogged at the moment.
1:09:19 The [Q] shouldn't terminate here, it should be the {QT}. The [Q] should run to Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard.
Thanks for making this suggestion. We can only wait and see how things change moving forward.
I really wish that it was the R160
The 6 train
We can’t wait for you to see it.
Ok well I’m ready
Can we recorded like that on the phone, and how do you preview that’s too pretty!!!
We’re not following actually.
@@wtaenyc Okay, Got you
Is this r46 or r68
R46 because you can hear the propulsion
@@jaydenmiller4324 oh
The former; just like Mr. Miller correctly answered.
R46
Where are the r68’s in the N and Q lines
013:43-----"Held, Held & Held--Attorney at Law?"
Great observation.
wtae plz don't Quit youtube. get it? I capitalized the Q for the Q train.
We definitely loved what you did there lol
@@wtaenyc thanks
Those timers on the express at 49st and again at 57st are unnecessary. Continuous straight track.
Fair point you make as you are entitled to your opinion. We can only hope that as they continue to do the necessary work to improve the system, they can eventually find ways to speed up certain areas.
Q is a nice line to work but 3 trips is alot.
Thank you so much for your service to NYC. 💯🫡
R211 Q: No NOT THE R46! 0:50
There’s no reason for the MTA trains to be running this slow. For example this Q train literally runs in damn near a straight line its entire route and idk why it’s runs so slow from Atlantic to dekalb. The Manhattan bridge is understandable
Looking forward to a system that is not only the fastest, but the cleanest and most efficient; the system is slowly making the changes with the resources they have.
someone lost their hat at 3:57
Great observation.
@@wtaenyc thanks for the vids. yes brighton is my fav. my home station is Brightbeach Ave
micheal jackson’s smooth criminal hat 😂
That hat has been there for so long, it's historic
