Secrets of the L Line

- Now with a triple digit age count, the pioneer of CBTC in the MTA is on the spotlight as every station is searched for secrets. Between columnless platforms, mysterious dormant screens, and dismantled sharp curves, there is a lot to learn about the L train.

I love that the Canarsie tubes have internet service. I wish the Bronx-Manhattan tunnels had internet service, too.
It is the first line to receive CBTC, after all.
I believe they put that in during the Sandy renovations 2019-2020
Respectful Correction: The lower track at Wilson Avenue, north or westbound is not underground. It is on the surface directly under the north or eastbound track. That is why you will notice you don't go downstairs when you enter the station. The reason for this is that when the line was built the Evergreen Cemetery would not give the builders permission to lay the two tracks parallel, because they wanted the property line for space for graves.
All the secrets in Manhattan (besides the 8th Ave ones) are new to me! Happy 100th Birthday, L Train!
Also I'd love to see secrets of the Franklin (S) since that line has a LOT of secrets with lore behind it! (i.e, Dean St, The entire renovation project, Botanic Garden!)
Also at 20:03 something interesting to note is: there is a bus route nearly as short as the B42: The B39. The B39 runs from Williamsburg Bus Terminal, over the Williamsburg Bridge, and onto the Lower East side for 2 stops. The whole route clocks in at about 1.8 miles, just a mere 0.5 miles longer than the B42! It's interesting to think that the shortest bus runs up ONE street for it's entire run! Great video overall!
Hi, 6th Ave used to be the last stop on the L before 8th Ave as completed; you can still see remnants of the crossover before entering the station.
Oh wow I never knew the L kept going out to Canarsie pier. You can actually see the old layout from google maps in satellite mode.
Happy birthday L train!!! one of the most underrated lines, the L is awesome and so is this video !
This is great man seriously I thought i knew all but this expanded my knowledge on the L
Good stuff - keep up the great work
I can’t unhear Geoff Marshall’s English accent. 😂
Huh
@@ChinemeremdozieGeoff Marshall, an infullencal You Tuber who also makes videos centering on rail transit lines.
He' the guy who inspired all of the" secrets of [blank]" transit videos you see now.
Amazing video and music choices!!! Music transitioning from upbeat to slower makes the video so much better imo, keep it up!
You mean keep the music track slower 🙉 less bpm, more facts per min!
You forgot Dekalb Avenue station
14:54 there is actually one at the Manhattan bound Flushing av exit (flushing av and broadway, NE corner)
The J at 75th Street - Elderts Lane also has a tiny portion of its platforms in Brooklyn while the rest are in Queens, since the Queens border runs through the center of Eldert Lane and the station does not end until further along the Brooklyn side.
Great video
Great video! If you ever do the IRT elevateds in the Bronx, be sure to highlight that they served both the subway & elevated trains. Ex: The Jerome Ave line serves the 4 train but also had the 9th Ave elevated.
Happy 100th Birthday L Train
Seems there was a misspeak near the end of the video as it looks like the gap of where the tracks used to go to Canarsie pier was between E 95th and E 96th streets?
Another neat video regardless. it's fun to hear about all the oddities of old infrastructure.
9:42 75th Street J Train is also partially in Brooklyn
You are now riding the Canarsie bound L train.
Hold up, wasn’t PATH built first? I thought the reason why it took so long to build the 6 a express tracks was because the PATH tunnels were already there…
Poor Graham Ave
YOU FORGOT THE Z AT BROADWAY JUNCTION RAHHHHH
It was never canon anyways...
You mentioned Halsey Stvwas the only station in two boroughs, not true, Part of the L platform at Myrtle-Wyckoff is in Queens and 75 St-Elderts Lane on the J and Z while the fare control and most of the platforms is in Queens, the westen/southern end of both platforms is in Brooklyn as Elderts Lane itself is boundary and platforms slightly crosses over it
Really great video and subway facts, so much to explore, but the music choice is very distracting and hectic over your voice and editing style, something smoother next time maybe? Not even sure it needs music, ambient subway sounds way better ❤
I'm your 300 sub
I expected the (B) next.
Could've explained Broadway junction a little better

happy birthday to my home line
17:57 Not exactly, both branches of the Rockaway Line on the A run on els and lack middle tracks. South of Broad Channel to Far Rockway and Rockaway Park
not to mention the Myrtle Ave line north of Seneca Ave.
Did you say the L is the only elevated 2 track line? It's not. The 7 has 2 track portions. So does the 1. The F. I'm sure there is more.
Not the F nor the 7
I think your channel should focus more on the paths commuters take today rather than the found historical artifacts. It's great to study history but convincing people to change is a completely different concept
