Funny you skipped 68th Street-Hunter College. That station has something special - one of the exits lead directly into Hunter College, and I think it's the only station in the entire system that has an exit going directly into a school building. Also it has countdown clocks with LCD displays like 28th Street.

Lifelong 6 train rider. I really enjoyed this video but I find the 6 to be one of the slowest lines! More so in The Bronx. They slowed the timers on the signals back in 2016 and it crawls into 125th street on the downtown side. When there’s 6 train closures, it’s mainly due to signal improvements. Even the 6 express to Pelham is slow af! The R62’s run on the 1 and 3 line and it’s much faster.
The #6 train does not go under the Bronx River, at least not between 138th St/3rd Av & 125th Street Lexington Av! Rather, it goes under the Harlem River!
12:52 Fun Fact Even through it's on topic about the 6 Line. This Station 52/53rd Street and Lex Ave the Orange M that's where the V logo used to be there back in the 2000s however when the V line got discontinued in 2010 and the M train got turn from Brown to Orange, the M logo replace the V logo in this station but secretly there is one V logo that is still around at this station 😏
As a 6 Train rider, I know some other stuff that most don’t: 13:40 I think that’s used to sit down when I looked up that artwork at 33rd Street FYI 28th Street has an entrance to the New York Life Building weekdays only 23rd Street at the north ends uses a weird brick design 14th Street has abandoned side platforms Astor Place’s only northbound entrance is the last of its kind, the older style Also I believe 23rd Street is the only original IRT local station where lots of signs of the original platform (mosaics, the entrance, etc.) are removed
The Pelham 6 line is definitely gonna be extended to co op city mall I'm telling you. They also gonna be doing draining pipes on 52 tracks at Westchester yard so it won't be flooded anymore The Pelham 6 line is definitely ready for business.
You skipped 59th Street Station! This is an express station with a transfer point to (or from) the F and Q lines! It has a very odd configuration and should be covered.
I once had to go from Woodlawn on the #4 to Zerega Avenue on the #6. During the week, there's a convenient bus that would have worked for me, but this was a weekend. Although the trip is to and from the Bronx, it requires transferring at 125th Street in Manhattan. It required going up the stairs, as I needed to transfer from a downtown train to an uptown train.
Nice Video.However, the original 2nd Avenue Subway plan had the re-capturing of this entire portion of this (6)/ IRT Pelham Line which was built to handle 10' wide cars, and severing it from the existing overcrowded IRT Lexington Avenue line, and rerouting it from 3 Av-138 Street down their newly planned 2 Ave line instead. Also, a very short extension from Pelham Bay Park terminal into Co-op City was also planned as well. North of the Hunts Point Av station, they planned to punch a hole into the walls, and connect this line with the Dyre Avenue Line, and re-capture this line as well. This would unclog the over taxes Lexington Avenue line and free-up space for the IRT Woodlawn Line, and the IRT's Wakefield-241 Street Line to operate smoothly on the Lexington Avenue Line, and ease-up the West Side IRT's 7 Avenue Line as well.
Up until the 1950's the 143rd st station was very busy The station is surrounded by factories employing thousands of men Theyre mostly storage facilities now
Astor Place Cooper Union is one of my favourite stations. I didn’t know about the Bleecker Street abandoned portion, Brooklyn Bridge City Hall has one too which you missed out on. Where is Worth Street and why don’t you use a polariser?
Great video presentation of The Pelham Bay Line & Lexington Avenue Local but you left out 68th Street Hunter College & The closed & abandoned Worth Street Station.
Back when I lived in NYC, 33rd Street or/and 23rd was my local station. I have better footage of the 18th Street and Worth street abandoned stations and would love to send them to you!
Suggestion: lose the “music”. You might have mentioned the division of the Lexington Avenue Line into two sections: south of 42nd Street, opened in 1904; and north of 42nd Street, opened in 1918. The respective architecture of the two sections is quite distinctively different from the other. Subsequent renovations have obscured much of the original architecture. The original Interborough Subway resembled a crooked “Y”, with the present 42nd Street Shuttle part of the Main Line.
E143rd St. is dab smack in the middle of what once was an Industrial neighborhood an used mostly for warehouse workers back in the days. Now mostly storage companies. That's why it's so empty. No residential buildings

Great video. It reminded me how great and historic the 6 Train is.
The #6 train does not go under the Bronx River, at least not between 138th St/3rd Av & 125th Street Lexington Av! Rather, it goes under the Harlem River!
no, it definitely goes above the Bronx River...
Thanks for doing this line!
Do the 1 train secrets next
12:52 Fun Fact
Even through it's on topic about the 6 Line.
This Station 52/53rd Street and Lex Ave the Orange M that's where the V logo used to be there back in the 2000s however when the V line got discontinued in 2010 and the M train got turn from Brown to Orange, the M logo replace the V logo in this station but secretly there is one V logo that is still around at this station 😏
As a 6 Train rider, I know some other stuff that most don’t:
13:40 I think that’s used to sit down when I looked up that artwork at 33rd Street
FYI 28th Street has an entrance to the New York Life Building weekdays only
23rd Street at the north ends uses a weird brick design
14th Street has abandoned side platforms
Astor Place’s only northbound entrance is the last of its kind, the older style
Also I believe 23rd Street is the only original IRT local station where lots of signs of the original platform (mosaics, the entrance, etc.) are removed
Isn’t there an abandoned part of the station at 14th st Union Square?
I think so. It was abandoned after the platforms were lengthened, just like at Brooklyn Bridge.
They have side platforms that are still accessible to employees. On occasion they keep the door down open.
Now that I go to Hunter College, this is my home line. Go Hawks!
you need more subscribers!
enjoyed watching this while at hunter college!
The Pelham 6 line is definitely gonna be extended to co op city mall I'm telling you. They also gonna be doing draining pipes on 52 tracks at Westchester yard so it won't be flooded anymore
The Pelham 6 line is definitely ready for business.
Trust me, the TA will never do any extensions in the outer boroughs.
Where are you even getting all this info from 💀
You skipped 59th Street Station! This is an express station with a transfer point to (or from) the F and Q lines! It has a very odd configuration and should be covered.
143 st. station was active up to the 1990's when the area still had factories and high attendance to Samuel Gompers H.S.
Meh not really. It’s always been an industrial area with very low ridership.
Looking forward to Secrets of the 5 train!
Could you lower the volume on the sound, or do you need it at all? It makes it difficult to hear what you are saying.
(6) Train Pelham Bay Park The Bronx ♿ To Brooklyn Bridge City Hall Manhattan ♿
5:56 - I thought (6) is a local service, stopping at all stations.
It has rush hour peak direction trains.
I need to se the 4 line next
I once had to go from Woodlawn on the #4 to Zerega Avenue on the #6. During the week, there's a convenient bus that would have worked for me, but this was a weekend.
Although the trip is to and from the Bronx, it requires transferring at 125th Street in Manhattan. It required going up the stairs, as I needed to transfer from a downtown train to an uptown train.
(6) Parkchester to Brooklyn Bridge
Pelham Bay Park to Brooklyn Bridge
Absolutely love the (6)!
You also skipped Spring Street and Canal Street. The latter is a multiple transfer station!
I live on this line and i wanna learn more about it so thx for this vid

Please make the 7 line next
Up until the 1950's the 143rd st station was very busy
The station is surrounded by factories employing thousands of men
Theyre mostly storage facilities now
If I remember correctly 3rd Avenue was also used in a Jay Z music videos back when it had yellow pillars.
Astor Place Cooper Union is one of my favourite stations. I didn’t know about the Bleecker Street abandoned portion, Brooklyn Bridge City Hall has one too which you missed out on. Where is Worth Street and why don’t you use a polariser?
I'm thinking about getting a polariser, especially bc the glare was quite noticeable in this video
9:18: The 6 as well as the 4/5 crosses the Harlem River, not the Bronx River.
It crosses the Bronx river between the stations Whitlock and Elder Avenue.
@@Jorge-lh6px: But form 3 Av to 125 St, it’s the Harlem River, henceforth the timestamp.
What they should do is make the line go to Co-op City so that the buses can be less used
13:15 - Is there a tracks connection to the 7 line from the 6 line?
nope, they really should install one to make yard moves less complicated
@@DnD_Robb404 7 is below the 6 and in a very congested area so not an easy build.
Great video presentation of The Pelham Bay Line & Lexington Avenue Local but you left out 68th Street Hunter College & The closed & abandoned Worth Street Station.
Eighth street abandoned station
@@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2 You mean 18th Street it was mentioned in the video.
Looks like there was no mention of Elder Avenue…between Soundview and Whitlock.
You didn’t mention the artwork at the 110 Street station.
Where's 116th st & 68th st Hunter College ?,
Back when I lived in NYC, 33rd Street or/and 23rd was my local station. I have better footage of the 18th Street and Worth street abandoned stations and would love to send them to you!
awesome😊👍 great job

The “ cut brick” at 51 st covers the original tile, with only the signage left open.
5:13 DUDE THATS MY HOME STATION
My home line. PARKCHESTER ‼️
OMGOGKGKGMGMG HE UPLOADED ANOTHER SECERT VIDEO!
Worth Street (Brooklyn Bridge) is also another abandoned station
You skipped over Elder Ave. But you did skip over some others too.
4:41 MY HOME STATION!
Music is too loud.
Please turn it down for subsequent videos.
So you might want to lower the volume of the music to make your voice more distinct. They are both fighting for our attention.
If the (B/D), (2/5) & (4) get added I would like to point out some things on them.
I would surly love to see the secrets on the them.
Good video with lots of great facts. A little hard on the music, though.
E143rd St. is dab smack in the middle of what once was an Industrial neighborhood an used mostly for warehouse workers back in the days. Now mostly storage companies. That's why it's so empty. No residential buildings
The only thing I got to say you miss that at Whitlock station you can see Amtrak pass by
King
the music is terrible
LMFAO
I’m just vibing to the Pokémon music and then you say this
I’m gonna do smth-
So, who cares?
Ok, should we care about your irrelevant opinion?
i don’t think people care
