  • One of the many great things about the New York City Transit Museum's Low-V Nostalgia fan trip was we were able to get those great views out of the front of the train. Up until the design of the R44 subway car in the early 1970's, New York City's subway cars were designed with small operator cabs, known by many as "half cabs." This design allowed any spectator to directly see out of the front window on the train, known as the "railfan window."
    Modern subway cars have evolved to having the operators cab span the entire length of the subway car, so these views directly out of the front of the train became obstructed. With the retirement of the R32's in January 2022, there are no more subway cars in the NYC Subway System that have railfan windows. These kinds of views are now only available during special occasions when older equipment is placed into service on Fan Trips.
    This trip will begin at 219th Street on the IRT White Plains Road Line, served by the (2) Train, and travel downtown to the South Ferry Loop on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line. Because this was a ticketed-only fan trip, we will not be making any stops along the way.
    This kind of view is hard to achieve for this line. Most of the Subway cars that had "Railfan Windows" were removed from service on the (2) train in the early 2000's. Additionally, the South Ferry Loop Station, served by the (1) train until its closure in 2017, has not used rolling stock containing "Railfan Windows" since the 1980's.
    Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

    Some people are complaining how slow the train is moving but are forgetting that NYC subway system is over a hundred years old and it wasn't built to travel at high speeds because most of the stations are considerably close .
    Also this is an elevated track that is moving over and through densely populated neighborhoods . The speed must be moderate for safety and noise purposes .
    The train is moving even slower because there are people working on the tracks . It is why the train operator is blowing the horn when approaching a work area on the tracks .
    If you think the train is moving slowly then try driving in NYC traffic and you'll discover how faster it is traveling on the "slow" trains .

      Cuando llueve en CDMX, los trenes deben ir a marcha lenta para evitar un choque o cortocircuito en la barra guía.
      Recuerda el choque en Oceanía línea 5.

    9:08: What's a scooter doing on the platform? That is unthinkable in Hamburg. And about the windows: Before the DT4 trains and the DT3 refits in Hamburg, Germany, the DT1 (though I'm not sure with the DT1), DT2, and non-refit DT3 did not have any front facing window from the passenger section, just a door to the train driver cap and a wall. The few DT3 refits still left, the DT4, the DT5 and likely the upcoming DT6 will keep those windows. And those windows are big enough to allow you to also see how the train is operated.

    Why do some areas of the track appear so much cleaner as others? Around 6:30-7:30 for instance. And what are those yellow "sidewalks" along the track, are those for emergencies and evacuation? Those suddenly disappear around 6:30 and are not existing underground.

    What type of special train was the last part of the video? Non-stop with a whistle instead of a horn to the loop at SF. Also you need to check your frame rate-slow and choppy.

    • @IIAOPSW

      probably a transit museum excursion historical train, which explains the careful speed, non-stopping, background reference to "turning around and going back", and no longer standard horn sound.

      The commuter rails in the NYC surrounding suburbs have quiet carriages, but not the subway. Most subway's are generally much quieter than this though. Because this was a fan-trip, it was mostly railfans and many were chatting along the ride.

      Вроде как это ретро-поезд. Пустили старый состав, который уже не эксплуатируется на линиях, организовав поездку фанатов. Из описания следует, что раньше в поездах кабины машинистов были небольшие, видимо, не на всю ширину вагона, и для пассажиров было окно, которое позволяло смотреть вперед по ходу движения состава. А я-то сначала не мог понять, почему в кабине такой гвалт стоит. Оказывается, это съемка не из кабины, а из салона через то самое окно.
