    Great as always! The MTA wanted to have the line demolished but thanks to community opposition the was rebuilt in 1999 to its current state. Can you do one on the M train from Forest Hills to Metropolitan Avenue. That would be great.

      I guess the b48 bus would be the alternative to this? Also I think the S shuttle should be extended to Lafayette to connect to the G which would allow better connection for south Brooklyn residents to go to Queens

    I wish they never took down the NYWB tracks between E 180th St and Hunts Point Av and made it into an S train. Would have been great to have that connection between the 2, 5 trains and the 6 train.

      The company went bankrupt in the 30's. The line was deconstructed from White Plains to Dyre Ave and from 132nd street to 180th. Most of the land and ROW was taken by construction of highways and developments. The tracks had stood for over 80 years before they were torn down. They had become an eyesore and no longer served any purpose.

    Short and sweet. You can see where the right-of-way for the second track on the northern part used to be. And at 6:00 you can see the infamous curve on the right where the Malbone Street wreck occurred in 1918.

    Beautiful ride thru crown heights, fun fact: this route was fully 2 tracked back then and had a dean st stop. In my opinion they should have this line 2 tracked and trenched like the Brighton line and run it thru Franklin av connecting it with the Crosstown line (G) going to queens 🤔

    Interesting tidbit: one of the changes that came about from the Malbone wreck is that all third rails have covers over them….even in the tunnels. Some straphangers survived the initial crash in the Malbone tunnel, just to be accidentally electrocuted by the then exposed third rail while attempting to escape the wreckage.

    This line was full two tracks from end to end until it was "upgraded.". They also ripped out Dean Street.
    Going further back, before it was a shuttle, after Franklin Avenue at its northern end, it swung West and merged into the Fulton El. So, one could go up the Brighton line, onto this line and then into Manhattan.
    The BMT's Eastern Division was gutted like a fish. Shame.
    5:50 Just inside the portal to the right is the site of the Malbone Street wreck, which was the worst subway accident in New York City history.
    The trains normally switch left, but, sometimes, if they're doing work, they'll use the right track, which puts you on the Southbound local track at Prospect.
    The Malbone train never made it.

      @StarComrade26 22 дня назад +1

      The track where the train terminates in the video conjoins with the BQ brighton line and thus has access to both the other platform via track switching as well as access to the Coney Island Overhaul Shop when necessary. I think that adjacent tunnel might have a connection to that other platform as well but I'm also sure that's the largely defunct Malbone Street tunnel, infamous for one of the worst derailments of the early 20th century

      This map gives you a good idea of how the train can keep going through the station to the Coney Island Yard
      As you may not be familiar with the area, the easiest way to find this route on said map is to start at the southern tip of Manhattan (left side) and follow the Green 4/5 line east until it intersects with the gray “S” line.
