where do you find all this information on the NYC Subway construction segments? These videos are fantastic and informative!

[@Subways_io]

@@btomimatsucunard Happy the content is informative definitely a combination of things, including on-the-job learning out of necessity. Information for this in particular comes directly from NYCT track diagrams and schematics as well as Public Service Commission documentation. we’re currently building a website where most of this data will be available. we hope to launch by May of this year.

@@wtaenyc Absolutely we have to give credit where it's due! thanks for being gracious and allowing us the views to breakdown and explain this amazing infrastructure.

Fantastic! Keep on with the continuing series!!

Very cool. Next time you might consider animating a subway map of the route to aid in creating a complete picture.

[@Subways_io]

@@apv great idea I can do a remastered version with a map no problem!

[@tweetingsparks]

I do not appreciate the music.

[@Subways_io]

@@tweetingsparks Totally understandable this is more of a montage cut with the footage sped up 10 X so natural sounds from the train was not an option. The executive decision was up-tempo and engaging tunes. 🙂 not to worry this was one of the reasons we included the original videos in the description so you definitely can view the line without any background music. Thanks for your feedback.
