Absolutely love riding the cute SIR R44 :3 on the Staten Island ❤️ Awesome documentary woohoo 💪 Love from New York City 🇺🇸 ❤️

I think the GG terminal should have been moved to Church ave in 1954 when the D was extended to Coney Island. I remember when the GG discharged passengers at smith 9 and proceeded to just before fourth ave onto the express track and stop past the interlocking. Motorman would dump the air and walk up to the other end, start up the air , wait for the signal that he was lined to switch over to the northbound local track and proceed to smith 9 to start his run to Queens- Forest Hills.( that’s what the upper sign on the arnine destination boxes said.

I rode them brand new on the Astoria QT / QB IN 1960.

Yo can you make a history video about the R32's?

Nearly 30% of the R68s will be retired in about a year, because another option order of 355 R211As, including 80 R211T “open-gangway” cars, will allow replacement of some R68s. The MTA should order more R211Ts to allow replacement of all remaining SMEEs so they don’t have to bother with the ridiculous amount of money and time in designing and developing the R268s. The last remaining 75-foot (22.86 meters) long and yellow-and-orange seat subway cars. The last remaining SMEEs would also be gone. The R68s are also the last cars in service to be 10 feet wide, the last cars to have a full-width cab on one end and a half-width cab on the other. Most R68s are coupled in sets of four cars. They were the third R-type series of subway cars to be 75-feet long. The first R68 train entered service in 1986. The MTA plans to replace the R68 with the R211A/R211T trains.

R142 also scraped at the fire

11:38 was that the original alignment into Exchange Place for the PRR?

Are there anymore remanants of the stations 13 Avenue and fort Hamilton Pkwy?!

I love this video ( wonderfully well put together!) do you have one for the greenbirds

CORRECTION: 9:29 - They were actually retired in 2013 after a sideswipe.

Nice video,,,,,

Its been 1 year when will you uploading

There were a derailment on a R 46F train Dixie fifth Street on the express Queen Boulevard line. It would do to miss alignment of the track.

WHERE ARE YOU

7:42, a then-brand new R62 subway car in a maintenance car shop, possibly to do its acceptance testing, since he said that was in 1984. 325 cars were built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan, for the A Division between 1982 and 1985, arranged as single units, but rebuilt and modified to 5-car sets in 1991-92. Family name is SMEE and they replaced all remaining R12s, R14s and R15s, which were all retired by the end of 1984. These cars run on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line 1 and 3 lines (Red Line) which are their service assignments as of 2024.

It’s hard to think that the R44s still running on the SIR today are only a few years older than the 1925 SIRTOA ME-1 cars’ age back in 1973 when they were retired by the then-brand-new R44s.

But, cars 6152-6153 damaged from the 2017 derailment on the A line near 125th Street returned to service linked with cars 6206-6207 to create a new four-car set in July 2020. R46 cars 6150 and 6151 were wrecked and unfortunately retired. This new mismated four-car set replaced them. 6207 was connected with 6153.

If the R44 NYCT-operated cars weren’t plagued with structural integrity issues, then they would’ve been retired by the R179 order in March 2022 and the R32s and 42s would’ve been all phased out by the R160s, since they were originally planned to retire in 1999, after a 35-year operating lifespan. The R42s were originally due for retirement in 2004, at the same time frame. But, both car classes ended up remaining in service for another decade, with the R160 order only getting rid of two-thirds of the original fleet with one-third of it, or 232 R32s (222 of which were assigned to the 207th Street Yard, operating on the A and C) and 50 R42s, based out of East New York Yard and operating on the J and Z, remaining by January 2011. But, on March 18, 2010, the MTA discovered various structural integrity issues with their fleet of R44s and decided to retire them due to the base orders of 1,280 R160A and R160B cars being completed and the option to purchase 140 additional R160B cars (9803-9942) and 242 R160A cars, broken down into 32 cars arranged as 4-car sets (9943-9974) and 210 cars arranged in 5-car sets (9593-9802), being exercised in November 2009. The last of the R44MLs were retired on December 30, 2011, when about 350 of the option cars were delivered. However, the SIR fleet was being refurbished for a second time to extend their lifespans another decade until they would be retired and replaced by 75 R211S cars in 2022-2023. This was in place of the remaining R32s and R42s which were being retired by the R160 order at the time and their retirement paused indefinitely and were forced to stay in service for another decade. The R32s were not highly expected to be in passenger operation for nearly 60 years and they have survived well past their specified service life of 35 years as touted by NYCT when they first hit the tracks in 1964. They were the last cars built - prior to the agency’s merger with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1968 - to remain in service. The longest-lasting R32s were in service for almost 58 years, currently the longest such service life in New York City rapid transit operations. They are the oldest rolling stock since the retirement of the Redbird trains and the oldest rolling stock of any metro system in North America, as well as some of the oldest rolling stock of any metro system anywhere in the world. The R32s outlasted the newer R38s, R40s, R42s and New York City Transit R44s. This is called their “Longevity”. The R179 order replaced the remainder of the R32s in the early 2020s with the final train running on March 10, 2022. After retirement, the R32s were towed through the South Brooklyn Railway, New York New Jersey Rail and the Brooklyn Army Terminal, crossing 3rd Ave and brought to 65th St Rail Yard before being partially disassembled for shipment to Frontier Industrial Corp. in Ashtabula, Ohio to be scrapped, a process that started in April 2022. On December 22, 2023, the MTA announced that additional R32s retired by the R179s would be towed through the South Brooklyn Railway, New York New Jersey Rail and the Brooklyn Army Terminal, crossing 3rd Avenue before being further towed to Sims Metal Management’s Jersey City facility to be scrapped. The R32s were originally slated for retirement in 2017, but due to delays in the R179 delivery and cars pulled out of service for multiple issues as well as the newest cars in the MTA’s fleet breaking down with lower MDBF rates compared to the oldest cars in the fleet, the R32s weren’t off the line until 2022, because the MTA was forced to spend another $36 million to overhaul 80 to 100 R32s and retain them until 2022. With the R179 delivery completed, the remaining R32s could finally be officially retired and the fleet was gradually phased out from September 22, 2020 to March 10, 2022, when the last train made its final trip on the A, making express stops in Manhattan and local stops in Brooklyn.

For God’s sake, lose that idiotic “music.”

Love!

5:12; The BMT 16 line is used as the "L" train service for going Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway to Eighth Avenue-14th. Street in Manhattan.

5:05; The BMT 14 and 15 line reminded me like the "J" and "Z" train going to Jamaica Center in Queens for "skip-stop" express trains.

3:40; This BMT 10 line is used for the brown "M" line that goes to Chamber Street (Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall) to Metropolitan Avenue running with the "J" at the Nassau Line, the Williamsburg Bridge, and then, running at the Myrtle Avenue line.

3:18; The BMT 7 is used for a train as the Franklin Avenue Shuttle which ran from Franklin Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn to Prospect Park.

3:05; The BMT 5 for the Culver Line was used as a shuttle as the double "S" train, but later, tracks have been scrapped, and the Ninth Avenue station was used for "D" train service whereas Ditmas Avenue was used for "F" train service.

2:58; The Sea Beach Line is for the BMT 4 referring to the "N" train going to Coney Island.

2:47; The west end line for the BMT 3 service is used for the "D" train that happened in the 1980s before the JFK express train began. Also, it is confusing that the "D" is a Queens bound train in the late 1980s, but now it is a Bronx bound train to Norwood.

2:30; The BMT 2 is like the "R" train going Bay Ridge-95th. Street to Forest Hills-71st. Avenue.

2:11; The BMT 1 that is named "Brighton Beach Line referred to the "B" or "Q" train that is renamed for the line, and it goes to 57th. Street Midtown or Harlem.

Looks like a bluebird

3:17 2009 was the best one
