- From Wikipedia:
"Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street (or simply Jackson Heights or 74th Street-Roosevelt) is a New York City Subway station complex served by the IRT Flushing Line and the IND Queens Boulevard Line. Located at the triangle of 74th Street, Broadway, and Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens, it is served by the:
7, E, and F trains at all times
R train at all times except late nights
M train weekdays except late nights
The elevated IRT Flushing Line station opened on April 21, 1917, as part of an extension of the line from Queensboro Plaza to 103rd Street-Corona Plaza under the Dual Contracts. The IND Queens Boulevard Line station opened on August 19, 1933, as part of the IND Queens Boulevard Line's initial segment, from the 50th Street station in Manhattan to Jackson Heights in Queens. Upon the opening of the Queens Boulevard Line station, a transfer between the two lines was implemented. The station was the Queens Boulevard Line's terminus from 1933 until an extension east to Union Turnpike opened on December 31, 1936. An uncompleted upper level station was also built along with the completed lower level station. The construction of the new Roosevelt Avenue complex led to increased demand for housing in the area. It also inspired plans for a proposed shopping mall nearby, which was ultimately not built.
The Victor Moore Arcade, a streamlined local landmark where passengers could transfer from the new IND subway to buses for distant neighborhoods and for LaGuardia Airport, officially opened on December 11, 1941. The two-story bus terminal and arcade, located at the triangle formed by Broadway, Roosevelt Avenue, and 75th Street, also featured a shopping area. The structure was named after Victor Moore, a notable Broadway actor and Queens resident who had appealed to build a bus terminal in his name along Broadway and near the station. It served as a hub for the operations of Triboro Coach.
On May 2, 1970, an out-of-service GG train collided with another GG train in revenue service on the Queens Boulevard Line. The revenue-service train was switching from the southbound express track to the local track (it had been rerouted around the out-of-service train). Two people died and 71 were injured in the worst subway collision since the 1928 Times Square derailment. Following the 1970 accident, New York Magazine highlighted the state of the subway system in a lengthy exposé, in which it concluded that the subway's condition was getting worse compared to previous years.
Construction on a new station building at that site began in 2001 and completed in 2005, based on a design by Stantec. During the renovation, the bus terminal was closed; the Flushing Line platforms and the bus terminal were completely rebuilt; and the Queens Boulevard Line platforms were refurbished by construction firm Skanska for a total cost of $132 million."

I agree 100%!
Thank you!!❤❤❤. You are the most kindest hard working you tuber I have seen. You always love all your subscribers coments. Your the best❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
Yes he and his videos are both great!
That station is huge, it looks like a maze. 😱😱😱 A lot of exits, transfers to everywhere!!
I adore watching your vids!! Thank u bro!
That Jackson Heights is one impressive Subway " Hub " Looks like one could venture pretty much anywhere in NYC from there. Very clean !
You should've seen it in '88 :P
@@CaalamusTube Probably a war zone ! Dodgers beat The Mets in 7 😥 that year.
It is very impressive, I agree!
Im there everyday q47 bus haven't been on the 7train in mad long tho
Clean? Hahhaha that'd a joke right
Great video. It’s fun to explore the stations and their many passageways.
It's nice to hear a non narrated one. I know the majority likes the narrated but hearing the sounds of NY 👍🏾👍🏾 but still love ur narrated ones as well
Same here
Nobody does this greatly appreciated sir.
It was a fantastic tour ! THX !! :)
Yes, fantastic, I agree completely!
Well i was planning on going outside but then ActionKid drops a new video... you can't not watch... you just can't.
❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, I always make time for ActionKid's videos!
Many thanks ActionKid ! 👍👍👍
I used to go through this station all the time. Appointments, seeing friends, visiting Elmhurst Hospital, Hare Krishna Harinam... There's always a reason for me to go through this station.
Hi action kid. You do great job 😀
👍💝💝 excellent video!!
I hate crowds. I actually, to my own amusement, found this video to be anxiety inducing. I still watched it to the end. Yay, me.
I lived in NYC for three years back in the 2000s, I see many similarities, but some differences👍🏻
Thanks for showing us all those nice views. Very useful to prepare my next stay at 42nd St. B [France]
A person for sure needs to know their way around this station !
there are signs everywhere above you. you can't get lost in NYC if you keep your eyes pealed.
Thank you! Very fascinating as are the notes above. Wish I were there!
Thank you for nice video
Hi Actionkid, thanks for the videos you do an awesome job on them, btw new subscriber!👍

ActionKid, I have no choice but to leave words of praise for this wondrous video upload contents that features success, beauty, and greatness in equal levels.
Thank you! Your words of kindness are always appreciated!
I am totally lost!
I Iive in NY in the 90 in o come back to Nueva York again i love this City i mess the 4 seasen . Cold , Verano, Otoño y Primavera. betefor.
I see that's a major station there. We don't have any major stations like that in our rail transit system in L.A. I would get lost in that station.
it'samaze show , well done
Do smith and 9th and queens junction. great views from the platform from these two stations!
Good video. Both of my Roosevelt/Jackson/VMA videos from the 1990s include the Men's toilet though which you missed! Before 1966 there was a paper transfer between divisions. Then until the late 70s the transfer building had only a down stairway and a single up escalator. Later a second escalator was added in an extension of the building that was a perfect match architecturally. Then later a THIRD escalator was added and the down stairway was narrowed. Then later than that, the center mezzanine of the el station was converted and connected to the subway with the two narrow escalators. Then years later around 2006 the Victor Moore Arcade was demolished and replaced with a new building and new el platforms and stairs and elevators. The facility is still inadequate because our fractured government is incapable of serving the people and expand the number of subway lines. As a result many households in Queens bought second and third cars. Once that happened the political constituency for more transit funding diluted. Also after years of my silent prayers, DOT did something about the street gridlock in this area by prohibiting street parking in the peak hours. After a few months the local business people cried loudly enough that much of the new parking regs were rescinded.
Curious could u do more narrated tours of 5th to hudson yards
Sure! I can do it 😃
@@ActionKid awesome! :)
❤❤❤❤
Got me shirt.
Lol i go to this stop eveyday from 179th
I think pretty much everyone in Queens has used this stop once in their lifetime 😂
bonjour actionkid sympa la vidéo 👍👍👟👟
Years ago a friend of mine had a theory that we are all part of some gigantic Ant Farm. For some reason I remembered that watching this subway hub in action.
That looks very confusing to a non NYC resident wow
you learn mostly by getting lost enough times until you don't any more.
Actionkid posted a pic in a plane on Instagram, I wonder which city it would be?
intrique.
M train is down in Brooklyn with J and Z and not in queens during weekends
queens junction is along the J/Z and is a similarly complex station.
Was there a delay at Jackson heights towards Jamaica .the time board and all of the trains said 1 min so was there a delay
that's almost as many steps as smith & 9.
Can you do Myrtle Wyckoff Avenues
What configuration computer do you use to process these 4K materials?
It’s a custom computer that I built. I have the links to the main components in the video description.
@@ActionKid I didn't find it
That one appears more blueish from the inside. The other more greenish. Frustrating is: many people have little understanding.
ActionKid, please walk by the famous 'Seinfeld' cafe.
Woww literally my everyday stop goin to and coming from work shit I'm hurst bound now F train where you at lol
12:28 peace, brother!
I hope you can do a Washington heights and Inwood Feat GWB down in the future action kid with narrated and without keeping up a great work
And Inwood to also
I second this. a stroll up broadway perhaps?
@@rayrayz51233 have you taken a forgotten NY tour before? kevin just did a tour of inwood about a month ago. stay tuned on the website (forgotten-ny.com) for other tours.
@@b.griffin317 I'm from Washington heights all the way 💯
@@rayrayz51233 one of my fav areas.
It's interesting how clean the subway stations are in Queens vs. Manhatten. Must be those darn rats !
I guess they haven't jumped the river yet. or maybe they're just better behaved.
I wonder how old is this station
according to wikipedia the 7 line part dates to 1918, while the rest was built in 1933.
Erratum : This commentary concerns another video, I was watching on another screen.... Sorry ! B [France]
Anyone remember Duke Nukem 3D...? ... this station would have made a great level in that first person shooter... LoL.
It would!
FalconXE302 I used to play that game for hours on end, sometimes on Godmode, crashed my computer every time too, didn’t care, reboot and off I go again, fun times.
The Best City NY.
Junction Blvd or Corona 103rd next lol
What are they doing ? Check these two people from 0:33

Narration ?
Didn’t narrate this video 😉
:)
now, SUFFER the 7 train delays!!
12:28 fan
No Exit!!
And what do women from the last few journeys sell from carts. They cut them and put them into boxes, as I understand it? Some kind of fruit?
Usually mango
@@ActionKid I would not buy it is not known how and who washed the fruit. For example, in Russia and even the USSR, during the sale of watermelon, an on-site check was offered to the buyer. They cut out a pyramid and gave it a try to look at the color and taste. If you like, then buy. About 15 years, regulatory authorities have banned doing this. Although this rule seems to be implemented only in large cities. In the south, I saw chopped watermelons on the market.
@@MomentalnoVMore regulators just want a cut of the business. every time i've bought fruit on the street in NY it's been fresh and delicious.
@@b.griffin317 the question is not about taste and freshness. and in the presence of anything on the surface of fruits and vegetables. dysentery has not tortured you yet?
@@MomentalnoVMore no.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this in your comments but your counterpart in London (Watched Watcher) is copying your trademark intro. Note the first four or five minutes of this video -
ruclips.net/video/8nfd-prM51g/видео.html
For a minute there I thought you took the A to Howard Beach, caught the Airtrain to JFK, whipped out your passport and flew to London. Not sure if you know of Watched Walker but he makes walking videos of London and various European cities.
I know Watched Walker very well and watch his videos. He's a cool person too!
I hate 74th lol
I pee on the spot and grrrrrrrr
Ask police permission to film on You Tube!
Overpriced and overrated. O jobs here.
