I’ve seen multiple of those in the span of one day I didn’t know they were that rare

Nice history of these local legends, as I also feel that MARC should keep them for the same reasons as in the video. Also, nice LIRR CE Move at 4:17. Not too often that you see engines move like that, especially at Harold Interlocking.

I apologize for the crappy quality of a few clips in this video. I assure you that I will seek out better footage in the future, along with my own.

This edit just goes HARD

New York State and the MTA need to get it together and upgrade outdated trains, equipment and infrastructure issues within the system. How can one even consider such a waste of money extending the 7 train to NJ. To the Federal Government get your priorities straight as well.

Extending any NYC subway line into NJ would open up a Pandora's Bpx of regulatory changes.

4:09: Hopefyllu congestion pricing goes through *cue curb your enthusiasm theme*

There’s really nothing to be gained by doing this. It doesn’t improve connectivity substantially, and can’t accommodate larger trains as a physical relief to the north river tunnels. Poor transit access in North Hudson is an issue but extending the 7 to a station with literally no walkshed (I once got off a train there and walked the 2 miles into the center of the town of Secaucus and when people heard I did that they thought I was nuts). Extending the 7 into New Jersey to serve North Bergen, Weehawken, Union City, and the Jersey City Heights would make more sense if anything.

not need. extension 7 to long island border.

I love the Crusader!

Cool

Are you sure that’s not a double ended regional

Why this fixation with the 7? IMHO, intead of constructing an entire new tunnel under the Hudson, it would be cheaper & faster to extend PATH, possibly down the existing NJT ROW assuming there’s space for additional tracks, from Hoboken. What would also help is if Port Authority & MTA would stop jealously guarding their revenues & allow for an integrated fare & transfers between the OMNY & TAPP systems. A Manhattan extension up to 42nd St Bryant Park would also be beneficial, better linking the networks

better to extend Path

There's nothing in Secaucus. If youve ever been, the station is literally just on a highway interchange. People who ride that station would just take NJ Transit.

Since Christie what has the Dem Governor Murphy done? Why not extend PATH directly to the New-Liberty airport instead of a foolish monorail or what ever it is? Imagine PATH direct from Wall Street to the New- Lib airport.

No. Better to extend the 7 into neighborhoods not served by transit like Bayside or Beechurst/Whitestone. Send PATH to Secaucus.

The # 7 train must go to New Jersey, one major reason is congestion pricing!!! I also believe the Q train should go to Jersey as well by crossing over from 125th St. The two tunnels & the GWB are the only way to cross over to NYC, the GWB is between W177th St & W181st St. North of 60th St will become an area full of parking garage’s & all of the parking garage south of 60th St should close down for more office space!!! The more train lines from Jersey to New York the better. I am so looking forward to this & HSR in the NEC!!!!!!

Nope

If only NJ and NY governers didn't hate public transit users and if (de)congestion pricing wasn't killed sigh

Cool, The PATH is actually considered a commuter rail by the FRA due to it sharing tracks with trains around Newark Penn and other reasons.

It will never go to Secaucus. Politicians don't want to spend money for peasants

Bayonne already has the HBLR, but its service needs to be improved - 20-minute headways during the day and on weekdays are not sufficient. I like Alon Levy's proposal of extending the 7 to Hoboken along Washington Street. This would provide Hoboken with a rapid transit line along it's major commercial corridor. The high ridership and the need for more capacity on the 126 bus clearly show that there's a demand for this kind and level of service on this route.

I’m your 500th subscriber. Btw nice video

I think they could more easily build a branch off of PATH from Journal Square in Jersey City right to Secaucus Junction

The 7 should be extended to bayside

The PATH can be modified to go to Bayonne

Short answer NO. Unless you’re converting some NJT lines to subway standard

It is completely irrational to bring a NYC subway line onto New Jersey. One, the original Pennsylvania RR tunnel is 115 yeas old and is only two tracks. The new Gateway tunnel which is at the initial construction stage, will only be two tracks from Manhattan to NJ. In the endgame, there will only be four tracks, but decades away. Three, we should fix and improve the PATH tunnels which are craggy, curvy, and antiquated. PATH subway trains are notoriously slow.

I think it might be easier to extend the Path from Hoboken than to extend the 7. There’s already a light rail line that connects Hoboken to Secaucus.

Kathy Hochul is a baby boomer, she hates public transit! Spineless, cold feet.

Service is suspended again for track work north of Saratoga Springs.

It will never happen

Also, replace that stupid idiot NJ Transit with commuter railroad in it with MTA Metro-North Railroad already as well

Bring the 7 train to Secaucus Junction in Secaucus, NJ already!

Cool video and channel subscribed

Weird question, how do you make your streamlined thumbnails?

Idk why but the thumbnail looks like it was made by Amtrakguy365

Idiocy! (not to dis the informed thinking exemplified by this video) It's my theory that NJ Transit and the USDOT were BEGGING Christie to pull the plug, as they were getting hit with a class action for displacements in Manhattan with 300 members in the class. The absurdity (one would think) of the ARC Tunnel could only have been surpassed by the Gateway Project, but the 7-Train Extension was "exceptional". Professional advocates and transit board members are regularly taken in by these ploys, coming mainly from the big international engineering firms, that make big money by proposing absurd things that have to be modified or dropped: it doesn't matter as long as they're paid the exorbitant fees to draw and develop these schemes. In the case of the ARC Project they'd already purchased two of the required six bespoke tunnel boring machines, which I expect had to be sold off or leased out. The No. 7 lacks sufficient passenger interface to fulfill the function of a trans-Hudson line. Also, platform lengths and car widths are all less than optimum, requiring extensive work on the existing line, yet still resulting 10-car trains of 50-foot cars that are only 9' wide. (Customarily trains going under the rivers in and out of Manhattan have 85-foot cars with up to 12-car trains of 10.5-foot-wide cars. PATH is the exception, opened in 1906, about the time the No. 7's Steinway Tunnel under the East River was being developed.) The best future use for the No. 7 Line is to extend it back under 30th Street and Park Avenue to a new terminus at Grand Central, resulting in a high-capacity Midtown loop configuration with frequent service in two directions of travel, to solve the issue of lengthy public transit transfers between the two stations. Also, with addition of the unfinished Bus Terminal and Javits Center subway stations, the extensions in Manhattan would end up serving a very large volume of passengers every day. This way you'd finally get some ridership on the new, >billion-dollar First Extension. But instead, advocates and professionals are both still talking about the non-starter of running longer mainline passenger cars through what amounts to a subway connection, having a contorted layout with sharp curves and no train capacity - with no storage or platform space available at either end. In the case of the professionals most of them know it's a useless ploy, while the advocates, "Planners" and Board Members are easily taken in by this kind of Quatsch, over and over again.

2103 the parts source for the Reading Rambles.

If they extend the 7 train to east orange, by east orange station, I will have a one seat ride to New York city, with no mode transfers for one price, they bs'ing. for 2.75 i guess.

7 to Secaucus? Nah. If a subway line should go there it should be the L. Instead have the 7 go to Journal Square. They'd have a transfer station at like Castle Point in Hoboken. And both have separate transfer stations to the HBLR. Top priority? nah. But have it in the plans and safeguard where the tunnels and stations would go.

I’m from Sweden why am I watching this video

FUCK Cathy Hochul. All my homies hate Cathy Hochul

Espically the 50s and early 60s cars I grew up with would be my choice to convert: roomy, conformable, and “ gas guzzling’- they would make great electric conversions

Honestly yeah it will be easy connection to all of nyc instead of taking the path

Very interesting and informative video presentation.
