The camera. Dang y'all good at hiding cams👍

It’s a bit of underpinning involved. The issue was more of the stations and emergency egress. I’ll post some pictures of the 103 Street station being built from the street. To give a better idea visually.

Glad you liked it!

6 1/2 Avenue I believe is actually the underground mall that now runs as far north as 54th to on the south end 47th and 6th.

Indeed, that’s correct. I believe we mentioned Madison as well. 6½ Avenue is a POPS, or Privately Owned Public Space add-on, based on the city’s ARA rules like Accessibility, Hours of Access, and No Commercial Setups. NYC is pretty hungry for open space, and POPS help create it without the city having to buy expensive land. So it’s possible to see a few other half Avenues. Look's at Hudson Yards. :)

Thanks for the comment. Are we inquiring location?

@@Subways_io both how it was sourced (trying to see if there is other similar footage available to watch) and where it was filmed

@@tomoconnell2320 Indeed, that particular section is part of the IND Culver line, specifically between 7th Avenue and Church Avenues. That’s from our footage taken on a move back in 2023, which is still unreleased on the channel. Our friends over at Welcome to an Experience have excellent front-end video content that we remix with our information and analysis. I’m not sure if they have footage of the express tracks, but they’re definitely worth checking out!

Thanks for the feedback. Having voiceovers read, for us, is the proven choice to communicate our collective knowledge and professional experience, both for clear communication and, honestly, anonymity. Not everyone has the option to jump in front of or behind a camera or microphone, no matter how much we’d like to. But what I can say is that I hope the content was clear and informative. That’s our goal, and we’ll continue to get better.

Yeah, I was going to say, what does a young girl with a nyahh nyahh voice know about trains anyway?

@@activelow9297 Cut Amber some slack 😅. I would hope what she’s saying and what she’s showing would outweigh everything else. I mean, she is talking over official photos schematics and documentation. Trust me she has a much better voice than the old guys behind the scenes. 😂🦺 thanks for watching.

That is correct. Keep in mind the N,Q,R,W south of 9th street and the Lexington 4,5,6 north of 45th Street are essentially the same line with sections 5 and 6 not built and connecting the full line. This will be the topic of conversion for Part 3.

We can cover those topics. More around tower operations? Equipment GRS, US&S interlockings?

@@Subways_io Not only that, but track diagrams and schematics as well.

@@CraigFThompson That we can do as well.

@@Subways_io BEAUTIFUL!

Happy you found the content interesting.

@@TheLIRRFrenchie... Correct Route 12 we can definitely cover that in a future video.

@@enlightenedjohnson happy you found the information interesting.

I ❤the IRT Lex, especially the complex flying junction between 116th and just past 125th. I recall a time about 30 years ago when there were multiple tracks being worked on simultaneously. You could see the trackway ramping configuration all brightly lit up, a rare treat. Briefly, there was a spot where the trains were on three levels as the local uptown Pelham snaked its way up to the upper level @125th St station.

@@deanbianco4982 Then you might've seen the work done on the center express track on the Pelham line in the Bronx; back in 1971, I remember that track as being built to railroad-style appearances with full length ties, no safety trench between the rails. In the videos from the "Welcome to an Experience" channel, I see the work they've performed....

@@CraigFThompson very likely so!

@@deanbianco4982 That's correct we did a post on IG covering the the 3 level section and the 125th street Station. I'll post on RUclips shortly.

Our next video video covers your neck of the woods. We're going to cover why the line is configured the way it is. 102-114th Streets stay tuned!

@@Subways_io I can’t wait. I’m actually going to the A division December so I can’t wait to see it myself through the front window when the time comes. Thank you for your content🙌

@@dandan1472 Much to see my friend and don’t get me wrong there are tons of interesting spots in the B division IND especially. But I have to say the Lex is particularly interesting especially being built to B division standards as well. Don’t get out on the road as much as I’d like to but always a treat when possible. Much more to come thanks for watching be safe out on the road. 🫡🦺

That’s what we’re here for! More to come

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful!

Indeed it was the Canarsie was the pilot that established design and safety standards for NYCT. Siemens, Union Switch and Signal and Comstock venture on that one. Thanks for your work on the line and for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

Indeed, there are many variations in setup and level of automation with CBTC depending on the needs of the network. And that’s correct; there are many variations in signal rail and detection setups, power phase, or frequency NYCT uses the 25 and 60 Hz variety. There’s also sound and audible setups out in the wild as well. This video was released about three months back as just a short version of the 20-minute video we have planned. But we’ll talk more about onboard computers, virtual overlays, transponders, and TIAs, and how trains communicate with each other. Not as fast as some of the younger folks with the digital stuff fair amount of effort but stay tuned for our CBTC 101 This and alot more.Thanks for watching.

Unlike a free-standing structure, the LIRR East New York tunnel is a full four-track arch tunnel. Each arch supports the weight above, designed for both strength and ventilation. So no cut on this section. This setup eliminated the need for the IND to build a spanning structure, as the LIRR crosses directly beneath East New York Station. Aside from the slight grade adjustment as trains enter the station N/B to clear the LIRR, the tunnel structure remains mostly unremarkable, with no visible shifts or girders like those seen along the Concourse line. It’s essentially a standard crossing. One area we didn’t mention but could add possibly is the Chrystie Street connector, with its provisional crossing for the Lower Manhattan Expressway. Story for another video! Back to the LIRR for a moment. The tunnel’s setup presents a major challenge for the IBX, especially when it comes to constructing a station in that area. Additionally, substantial complexes are being built directly above the right-of-way (ROW) without much need for underpinnings or structural spans fairly strong arched structure.

@@obifox6356 sometimes perfection is in imperfection ! We’ll make sure to check twice moving forward with human as well.

Thanks so much!

@@zorkmid1083 correct and the old Clinton hall entrance. Just getting used to the function spontaneous recording. I’ll plan something more legit in the future.

@@Subways_io Good to hear, I'm anticipating your next one!
