13:51 Just a good view of 2 train models from different divisions but with the exact same sound (R143 and R142A)

Nice! This is my neighborhood! You used to be able to see 3 trains go all the way to Pennsylvania Avenue.

[@tanishaglasgow8098]

Wow

[@gregorysweat3751]

I worked the 3, the L, and the 4 as a conductor in early to mid 80's.😉😉😉

Very interesting

[@onlyinnewyork7103]

Nice what train models were you conducting

[@MrMam-yo7qp]

I thought IRT workers couldn’t work on BMT or IND lines because the tech was “completely different”.
Vice versa

[@gregorysweat3751]

@@onlyinnewyork7103 IRT was just getting rid of the r33's r62's were just coming in. Redbirds were also rebuilt. The L line had R16"s, R27's. In 1988 they got rebuilt R27's.

It's hard to believe that the R143s are at or nearing 20 years old.

Its 16 years old

That's odd. The R143's were delivered to MTA property between 2001 and 2003.

They are showing a bit of age now.. howling motors and dead ones, loud wheel bearings, dirt and grime all over, the trucks are rusted. The propulsion is decalibrated and screeching on some cars, 8213 and 8220 namely. If you take a look at the new R211 and then the R143, you'll see what I mean pretty clearly.

[@gregorysweat3751]

You have to put in a request to switch divisions. When they have a pick as long as you have one year on the job you can pick into the A or B division. You will go back to school car, break in on every line then work your picked job.😉😉😉

[@tanishaglasgow8098]

Yes it does

[@PerfectCell1994]

I use to live around there. Wow everything changed

[@Bklynkid52]

Every block along Livonia Avenue from Van Sinderen Avenue to Sheffield Avenue has new buildings. I remember there being nothing there but grass.

If they eliminate conductor I'm sure you will be able to become a train operator.😉😉😉

[@tanishaglasgow8098]

Yes it does

[@TheLIRRFrenchie...]

I'm curious about something and I was wondering if you or anybody else in the comments would know, but seeing as so many sections are elevated and really old, what's their lifespan? Will they have to be replaced in the future or can proper maintenance keep it up for as long as it needs?? Just curious about that since this one time on the 2,5 stop at gun hill and I felt the entire structure shaking and rocking as the train stopped lol.

[@elevator929]

i don't know the r211 is in new york i think

[@urbexfloxks1641]

I just find it crazy how u have 2 train lines for the irt and there was still more L trains passing by

[@qazisnotapeopleperson7167]

The L has CBTC, so trains can run more frequently and closer together.
