Broad Street to Jamaica Center via express and skip-stop. I forget which car number this is, but the dynamic brakes are really good on this one, provided there's enough cooled air being supplied to the resistor grids lol. There's even some wheelslip around the 52:00 mark; can you hear it? Enjoy the ride, the lightning, and the rare line up into Broadway Junction =)

For all those commenting on how old everything looks, try to enjoy how beautiful the infrastructure is too. Sure the system could use a good repair, cleaning and upgrading of inefficient equipment. However, the stations and even sections of the tracks themselves, are full of ornamentation that we only reserve for the most prestigious projects today. And in addition, I guarantee that they managed to do it all at a taxpayer cost that would equal to significantly less than the most utilitarian designs we have come to expect today. Great video!
This is just bad

Fan Railer: Very nice, realistic video! No camera shake, no zooming or panning, all in focus, with a normal lens that has the correct depth to width aspect ratio. The rainy weather adds to it, with no window glare. A well-done professional job of filming!
aeoliankid It’s a joke ?

Why is this so relaxing watching this 😌
As a lover of city maps watching these videos in conjunction with the detailed Google Maps is a sheer joy. Thanks for the excellent work.
I moved away from NYC in 1988. I used to ride this train out to 168th St., in the 70's. i168th St was the last stop. Now I see how it goes underground for the lasr two stops. Thanks for posting, I feel like I have rode the "new" system out in Jamaica now!
Remember 168th Street and Mays right down the street. Those were the days.
The Old Jamaica EL !!!
May's, (I worked in May's Before They Closed That Location) ...The Alden and Valencia Theaters, Gertz ...Yes ...Those were the days !!!
@Bobby Brady Wrong. The elelvated lines in NYC were and still are called Els by the people if nit bt the MTA.
Anyone brave enough to stand outside for hours in all kinds of weather deserves a Thumbs up!
That's just called being British over here 🤣🤣
Bro us in Canada have to stand in freezing cold weather. And being from Ottawa, we don’t have an adequate subway system, we only have one line. And the buses here take like so long. So yeah, we have it worse here, ngl.
Ain't nobody standing ooutside
24:50 the complex track work and two trains coming out of nowhere was cool.
M Train to and from Middle Village Queens
Just a tidbit. If you look VERY CAREFULLY on full screen mode, you'll see the switch points move at 20:07, which will put the train on to the express track. About 4 seconds later you see the signals up ahead on the express track turn green, followed a second later by the signals in front of the train turning green, clearing him to proceed.

I live in London and after watching this I must say, as much as it gets on basically everyone's nerves most of the time for various reasons, I have a newfound appreciation for the London Underground. The speed of these NYC trains is frustrating at best, rage inducing at worst. I couldn't fathom having to ride it on a daily basis. As someone who's forced to ride the Underground, that's saying something
Bobby Brady They’re just saying NYC’s metro is in a bad shape. Nothing wrong with that. Instead of being so full of hate because you can’t handle criticism you could also try to learn from other countries.
The NYC Subway was my childhood so shut
The Z line is particularly bad
The slow speed is due to the idiotic 'skip stop'scheme operating on a single track. Each train must maintain a very long distance between it and the leading train.It may reduce crowding but does little for speed.
In fairness you're looking at a route that is notoriously slow. The Z in particular is just a partner to the J in a skip-stop pattern during rush hours that doesn't really accomplish anything other than slowing all the trains down; the similar 9, which was a counterpart to the 1, was eliminated 20 years ago but the Z soldiers on. On top of that, the Williamsburg Bridge has had draconian speed restrictions in place since an accident in 1995. In fact similar restrictions systemwide stemming from that one incident are the main thing that makes speed between stations one of the system's greatest weaknesses.
The best MTA train ride, I ever watch today on RUclips.
24:50 One of the few crossings at grade on the system. Nice action there! The trains veering to the left climb up to what was once the Myrtle Avenue El. Southbound trains could either take this current route, or continue on the abandoned structure you see above. This route is one of the oldest on the system. Past 121st Street, the line remained elevated to around 168th, I believe. That was torn down and the line rerouted to the Jamaica subway. The Eastern Division also cannot accommodate the 75ft train cars, like the R44s, 46s and 68s.
Yes, the end of the line was 168th St. and Jamaica Avenue. I imagine the curves in the vicinity of Crescent Street limit car length.
@@mark03061956 Yes as two 75ft. trains would collide with each other.
As a kid (and still now really), I was always fascinated with the intersection of all the tracks you see in 24:00 at the Myrtle Ave station.
This is great. I love going to New York, getting on a subway train with no particular destination, and getting off at any random spot. Explore a little above ground, then getting o the train again and doing the same thing.
I've been doing that all my life. Started when I was 10, I would take the bus to Manhattan and then ride the subway all over. My parents never knew what I was doing. That was now 50 years ago. I still go on random train rides; a Metrocard has always been the cheapest form of entertainment for me. That will end in a few years, as I will retire and move to the sunny west, where there aren't any subways, only the occasional Amtrak passenger train. I will miss my subways.
same here I am 20 years old and I take random train rides on my free time
I do that but in Sao Paulo city. I dream of living in NYC someday and doing the same. You’re lucky guys.
Great idea...nothing wrong with that. If New York doesn't have it, then it doesn't exist!
I you live here you cant stand thé train.You ride because you
Have To.
A real master at handling the signals! WELL DONE!
When I Started working At The World Trade Center In The Early 70's They Had The Old Trains R1 That Was Made In The 30's And It Retired 1977.
Hello, What was it like to work in the World Trade Center? What was it like to work in New York in the 70s? The older trains looks cool with those big bolts holding it together, while also looking scary with all those graffities.
Were you still working there when 9/11 happened?
Just discovered this. Great ride. Can't beat a rainy day in the city.
Q
The R32s are still running? That is so neat! I grew up riding these classics (although mostly the Redbirds) and am glad they're still cruising the rails. America could build some tough, solid trains back in the day. Saddening how much things have changed.
the r32's are still running, and running strong !
Fan Railer, finally saw the entire vid. This was excellent and great camera work! A+. I hope you were using a tripod. I don't think I'd have the patience to hold a camera for that long. High Greens to you for patiently filming this. I've been away from NY for a while but watching this made me feel like I was riding on a classic subway train again! Neat seeing Broadway Junction from the train operator's view.
Yes, Antonio I agree!
old trains are often stronger/better than newer ones
They use the Redbirds as work trains now lol
Nice ride! Thanks for posting. I rode the QJ in the '60's . Good memories.
Chambers Street station definitely resembles a dungeon.
I love chambers street station
And a season 45 SNL set.
@@mattguy2998 me too
The Chambers Street station is a huge embarrassment and disgrace!
Why does the MTA waste their time on Fulton street when chambers street is like that
This has to be my favorite video of the NYC subway system. The rain makes it more enjoyable.
As a non-American,it surprises me, how in the most advanced country in the world,the subway infrastructure looks so ancient.
if you saw that little yellow bar at 18:20 lower and dont know what it is, i'll explain.
When the signal isn't showing green, that bar, called a trip arm, sticks up a certain height. If a train were to pass that signal, the bar would hit a device on the train called a "trip cock". this trip cock applies the emergency brakes when struck by the trip arm. this system is sort of enforcing a speed limit in a way. in NYC, the trip arm can be on the right or left, depending on the "division". lettered trains have the trip on the left, and numbered trains have it on the right. the trip cock is mounted on the bogie corner, and some rolling stock have a trip cock on both sides. the reason they are painted yellow is for evidence in the case of a train striking it.
Some fantastic views there, particularly coming off the bridge at 15:30 and at 24:58 with trains suddenly coming at you in all directions.
AYO AT THE FIRST CLIP ON THE BRIDGE THIS TRAIN AND THE ONE IN FRONT OF IT WERE PRETTY CLOSE
Great video, beautiful quality.
The main thing I noticed is how unbelievably slow this train is. The European/UK subways go about 70-80kph between stops and this one never gets above 30. Must be painful to have to commute at this pace.
Oslo’s "subway" mostly travels @50 km/h. Some of the newer stretches in the east have stretches wre 70 km/h is used.
That was beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Well this brings back memories. Rode most of this line everytime I wanted to go to the movies because I wanted Peace.
What a nostalgic trip for me. Left NYC in '71. If this is the correct train, I remember taking it to Gertz. Those were the days. Especially loved the ancient trains run on the Lexington Ave Line to New Lotts, w/the brake in the passenger cabin. The smell of smoke and heat was always present. They always had overheated seats too. Your butt would fry. Wonder if any of those relics are still around, as I plan on taking my wife from San Francisco there within the year.
A lot of the open air section, especially the second half doesn't look too dissimilar to certain parts of South London, except that if you replaced the elevated structure with a brick viaduct and had less stations. The tenement buildings are all similar and it's a roughly similar sort of cityscape. Love the storm, a real atmosphere there :)
Perfect video! Z train slow dragging between Essex and Marcy. And the traffic heading to the BQE just made me homesick 😂😂😂
NY Subway have a stops every 200 meters??? why????? TWO HUNDRED METERS CARL!!!!!!! It's a 2 minutes of walk.
[ОЧУМЕЛЫЕ БОШКИ] cuz the platforms used to be shorter
I think
More like CTA
Back then trains had shorter cars.
@@michaelmorales1475 No they weren't. The subway cars back then were the same length as the new ones are today. Regardless of the line(IRT, BMT, IND)
That's why the subway system has the most stations (I have 272)
This reminds me when when I was a kid back in the late sixties in New York Brooklyn my dad used to take me and my sister to Coney Island and me and my sister would stand in the front of the train looking out the window. just like the video thanks for posting this 👍🏻
I Used to Take This Train Out To Queens Blvd, In The 70's early 80's and I Was 3 Stop From 168th Street. Back Than It Was QJ Train And Rush KK Train.
i like to thank the person who did this brings back memories i live in florida now last time i was in nyc was 8 years ago did take the subway
Only 24 minutes into the ride and I already can say I love this. It's got everything and some things the Chicago videos don't: major bridge across the river and rain that makes for great visual effects. The signals are easy to spot and to get what's going on.
Suggestion *** Not being a New Yorker I would like to see the names of the stops posted on the video like the CTA does. The guy announcing the stops can't be understood, and I like knowing and following where in the city I am.
Thanks Fan Railer. I'm going to watch this all the way through.
Can you do one with snow?
We'll see if it snows lol. Haven't had a major storm yet this year.
Here's your snow ride: ruclips.net/video/3-TBcQA6OZw/видео.html
I can't wait to live in NYC... :) Mid 2017 I will be moving there... I hope they still have the R-32s and R-42s still around by then...
Awesome video... And awesome weather too... :)
We still have the R68s from the 80s on some lines but most of the lines are now taken over by the R168s which is the newest trains to the fleet but I am sure you can still see some R32s on the A and C line and a hand full of R42s are still around also.
No they are trains from around the same era we got the new R160s now which are pretty nice but the R68s are nostalgic
Zephyr, Don't forget that occasionally the MTA also runs the classic vintage trains such as: The Train of Many Colors (TOMC), and the Train of Many Metals (TOMM). There are videos of them running here on RUclips. Check them out when you have a chance!
Lord Zephyr if u wanna find r32 go on Z or C line r42 A S R F line
Leo Lin there aren't R42's on the A S F and R lines
Love the video. See Brooklyn via the train. Learn neighborhoods. Se my old home station. Everything is good on this!
You’d think being a railroader for one of the western class 1’s myself, I’d get tired of watching this stuff but maybe because it’s not a freight RR that has me captivated. Sipping a Rahr & Sons Scottish Ale and eating some sunflower seed enjoying the ride though NY. Haha. Thanks for sharing. Keep on with the vids!
35:15 This view is amazing, like a major highway but on tracks :)) so many crossing and that elevated turn, such a nice system. Only downside its that train goes so slow :/
I rode this line to visit my dad who lived on Bushwick Avenue; it was a scenic urban route. Also a good shortcut to East NY Junction Station vs. staying on the A train.
13:00 that bridge view is too beautiful
As a visitor, I felt intimidated and overwhelmed by the whole experience like a cow shoved onto a cattle truck then I ran into a fellow Canadian turned NYC resident. She made me feel right at home in that concrete wilderness. Now it's like riding a C-Train in Calgary or Vancouver Sky Train.
Why the hell there are so many comments from foreigners remarking about train speeds?
because it's pretty shocking for a first world country...
@Jim Allen London underground is older and faster with some of the original signals still in place just a updated color light head. Your move.
@Bobby Brady You're watching a train video mate, tone it down a bit
@@insertnamehere5660 Nice one.
@@insertnamehere5660 lmfao
This makes London's underground look positively futuristic!!
Are you sure? What train did you ride?
Hey you, yes you, you are probably thinking “God this train is slow af” Just put it at x1.5 speed (=normal subway). Even x2. You’re welcome.
Colorado Strong your wishes have become a reality
But it is still a slowly :/
still one of my favourite video on RUclips.
This is cool, Love the vid. Also love New amseterdam euh york :) Grtz From a traindriver from holland
The NYC system looks really interesting. For some reason I like elevated lines... in Germany we have them too in Hamburg and Berlin (and those are pretty old too, from the 1910's), but it feels a lot different.
ruclips.net/video/3knIhbXHW1E/видео.html
The trains used be much faster. After an accident on the bridge they lowered the speeds of the rains.
common sense they are raising it up now though. Look on the MTAs youtube
i was on them 2 months ago. they are not slow. there was maybe maintenance on nearby tracks or some other reason
@@denziiey It was raining.
Indeed a right little gem - best I have watched for some time; not sure why, which is a compliment!
Congratulations on 16,000 subscribers
Thank you!
No problem :)
An excellent & fascinating video -- many thanks! I hope the MTA has since cleaned up & renovated that Chambers St. station. Its neglect to utter degradation is a disgrace not only to subway patrons but to international visitors who may perceive this as an example of urban life in the U.S.
This video just proved one thing to. I was in NYC back in the early 90's
and it was a dump then. Now,,,, its still a dump!
Nice video on the SW though.
In a 100 years from now people will be looking at these videos and the people in them and saying "all these people are dead" like we do when we look at the 1920s movies
Now the USA infrastructure compared to China looks very old dated.
carlosmante that is because us infrastructure is old and rundown
qjtvaddict not really
carlosmante maybe because this is the oldest still standing line in NYC
@@AzAzMusic yes this line was originally a steam powered el built in the 1880s. The oldest system in China only dates back to 1969. I know too many useless facts about subways ☹️
NYC subway was built in 1904 while the first subway in China was built in 1969. Also majority of the subway system in China are build after 2000.
Feels good to be back in NY after a long time.
Wow, the NYC subway is unbelievably slow! o_O
Safety! So many incidents have occured (derailments, wrecks) because of too much love for speed. On the Williamsburg Bridge, for example, they had to slow it down since they had a very bad accident in 1995 where one train collided with another! We have to think about people's safety first! Would you rather get home late and in one piece, or early and mangled?
Strange, because subways in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin all tend to go faster while not having those safety problems
Is it because of a love for speed or because of a run-down, ill maintained system that's screaming for help? Like sven replied, there are many system as old that run way faster. Heck, even such a behemoth of a system as tokyo's still has better running speed than NYC.
M. L. And least reliable in the world
simsportif you hit the nail on the head it is poorly maintained and needs help badly
My God, the New York subway stations are dirtier and creepy than the subway stations in São Paulo ... no offense ... being very sincere ...
Felipe Cecconi Nah it just the J/Z train stops in Manhattan. They're just straight up bad.
At 3:00 it seems that station's right platform can be used for homeless folks.
LipeCecconi Letter Train (N Q R S W etc..) = Terrible Numbered Train (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) = Decent
The São Paulo metro opened in 1974. The NYC Subway goes back to the 1800s and wasn't centrally planned. Virtually the entire system is ancient and they can't just replace the whole thing, so they have to work within the confines of whatever the 19th century planners came up with.
Rocky's Trains poor service patterns that cause unnecessary delays and interlining that is excessive many letter lines simply need reroutes and service would improve but that would only go so far
I understand that those are time/speed controlled signals at Essex Street, but why the long hold-up part-way into the platform?
This NY looks very different from the movies NY
Well,as long as it's working...
I imagine you're thinking of Manhatten. New York is a lot bigger than that.
this train is usually by the outskirts of the city when its above ground
Also....90% (a guess) of the time....They use the cities of Pittsburgh and Toronto
As NYC in films, Because it's more expensive to film in NY (high taxes) .....
Most of this is Brooklyn and Queens. Manhattan, which you're probably thinking of, can't really be seen from the Subway in this direction because it's underground and then they are going away from it.
Why would u think any movie is accurate to real life
I really enjoyed your video! If I had enough time, I would go to New York and ride this subway.
2:34 Man we need to revamp our stations. Ugh.
They are renovating Chambers St, Thank God. I'm not sure when it will be done but they've covered up all of the crusty sections. I always feel like I'm in a murder scene when I'm there.
Chambers Street. *The dungeon in a subway system.* Worst condition train station here in NYC I have ever seen. Never have been to anything worse. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 The only exception is that it’s historic. 👏👏👏 to the MTA. You just made me *ACCEPT* the condition of Chambers Street. LEL
*Don’t take it seriously.*
In my entire adult life, there have been only two occasions that I've driven in the City. This video is a reminder of why I don't and likely never will. It's getting as bad down here in southeastern Virginia
i never drove in the city. My brother did one time, and i shit you not it was like driving a warthog in the last level of halo.
It looks like the camera is getting wet, but, I think it is inside how many cars are on a subway?
in this case, 8
Another great video. How were you able to move that transparent cover in front of the camera lens during the sleet & rain?
This train is moving stupid slow.
Driving is even slower in most cases
About as real as can be with nice camera work. Feels like I am at the controls.
Nice high quality vid
Many thanks for these great visual and acoustic impressions from NYC on and beside the tracks!
Seems somewhat funny to me how the train changes to the express track after Marcy Av and then reaches Myrtle Av (Broadway) pretty fast - just to spend nearly three minutes at this stop while being overtaken by two eastbound trains going down the M line. Also the J line train in opposite direction seems to wait several minutes just after leaving Kosciuszko St.
- Have these been scheduled stops or were they caused by some problems?
And how does the system with the single express track work? Is it used only by outbound trains? Or maybe alternatingly?
Solardusche peak only service and at grade jct kills reliability
Wow, Chambers Street is in serious need of some repair... Sweeping the floor wouldn't hurt ;)
Scwirul NY could not care less
That station is just a spectacular urban wreck!!!!!
They're gonna renovate it, massively I guess?
When I see, how some stations looks, I'm pretty glad about the subway system in Berlin / Germany
What's with the 3 sets of red lights at 11.04 but the platforms clear. Why not just move right into the platform and then stop like we do on London Underground

Chambers street station still looks the same As it did 40 years ago NYC keeps it as a landmark preservation way to go
What's the point of red signal in the middle of platform?
The train to your right was going to the same track this Z train was
Laury Fire No..... Because of this junction, if a J or Z Express ends up with an M Train crossing its tracks to go on its own, trains will have to wait for it to cross fully.
@@Bombardier2199 but why not just pull up to the end of the platform and wait with the doors open? By the time your loaded your at least gonna get near a ear
Near clear! Stupid Google correction!!!!
@@emeraldzebra9360 Yes, it is so annoying, people could not cross over from the other train, and if he had pulled into the station, he would not have hit anything.
That bold guy at 33:36 made himself look stupid getting upset like it’s the train operators fault 😂😂😂😂😂
Ughhh, the J/Z skip stop is useless... need to Run the J train local all times and have the Z run express from Marcy to Broadway Junction... Timers also kill train speeds for no reason...
At Myrtle Avenue-BWAY you have to worry about the (M) switching to Metropolitan Avenue, the (J) switching at the local track to BWAY/Junction, and the (Z) staying on the EXP track to the aforementioned station... That's too much time to waste.
Frank Durham I lived on this line for 2 years. I worked by grand central. When I started, I took the j to the 6. Took an hour. Had to start going backwards to Jamaica and taking the e to lex lml
The skip-stop makes sense between 121st Street and Eastern Pkwy. but I agree that there should be real express service between Eastern Pkwy. and Marcy Avenue.
I remember this day so clearly. I was in day camp and the camp day was about to end and it looked like a hurricane! I was crying a lot
ADORO PASSEIOS DE TRENS PELO MUNDO....
This video has made my day! Thank you! You posted it years ago and it still blows some minds (like mine).
25:30 beautiful scenery.
Rainy days are great. They always make me want to recite the poem "Flying Robert" by Heinrich Hoffmann.
it is just me it's like the Scenery of GTA IV?
Joey Abad That’s because gta 4 is based on New York City.
Wow I can't believe they made GTA IV into a real thing!
@Bobby Brady ok boomer
Wow...Train Simulator has definitely increased the realism of game play from when I used to play it. ;)
lol
10:00 Is it just me, or do I hear the EAS activating?
I heard it too. Maybe someone in the comments knows why it went off.
Fantastic engineering in the high line. When was it built, early 1900's ??
24:51 wow, that's cool
What always creep me out about the J line is that Franklin K. Lane High School is right on a large cemetery at the Efferts Lane stop. Fun fact: Efferts Lane serves as the Brooklyn-Queens border.
did anyone else hear the emergency alert at Essex st?
Yes I heard it
what was the emergency? 12-9?
Severe weather.
Fan Railer oh ok
Yosef Yisrael Severe weather? It's amazing how weather can differ from place to place. That definitely wouldn't be severe weather down here in Florida. This is nothing compared to our afternoon summer thunderstorms. Some guy was complaining in LA that it was a WHOLE 80°f......... It's interesting.
R32?First one with the self lapping brake valve. I got to run one back in the 1960's. What great memories. Was on the coney Island run if I remember.
The R10 was the first car class with the self-lapping brake valve.
@@FanRailer Ahhhh Okay I stand corrected, Thanks.
I didn't know NYC was like going back to the 1800's.
Freddy Looger that’s funny considering the elevated portion was built in the 1800s
The Thunderstorm adds a very sureal quality.
IS BRUCE WILLIS IN THIS MOVIE ?
He's the motorman, not making movies now.
love how the trains move slower then the traffic
The thing goes so damned slow it might just as well have stopped at every station and picked up/dropped off to save people waiting for a so-called 'stopping' train. And why did it take the 'express' track and then have to wait for a train (on the slow track) it had overtaken, to catch up again, pass, and turn left across in front of it? All looks rather 'third world' to me.
Ikr that was so stupid how it waited for the slower train to pass.
PreNeanderthal poor dispatching practices NY lacks smart people
Okay_Then if is makes sense NY won't do it
The amount of signals between Essex and Marcy is ridiculous. It’s like CBTC with OTTs
At 15:30 you can see another train in front of this one.
They got pretty close
Edit: at 17:38 too!
And at 22:26, on the express tracks the J finally catches up to the M that was in front of it.
This has a real feel and sound of NYC!
Too slow... What because. Ok on curvs, but on straits?! It's for safety or not good tracks condition?
But anyway - thank you for video.
I DIDN'T KNOW NY SUBWAYS WERE THAT SLOW
MrDICKHEAD28 most of the times there not is just this specific route is pretty old with old trains so it'd not really as fast as our other trains routes. our other train routes are really quick
Metropolitan line A-stock, 40+ years old and would happily hammer along at 70mph. Old trains are often far more rugged.
I know, right?! They feel faster when you're on board...
Shanghai metro is really fast
The High Lines are probably pretty old.
I didn't know that ny subways were that slow to mate but.... I've also watching jimelavetor videos of the 1970s dover elavetor
OMG, it looks like the top speed is 5mph, it would be faster to walk !
lol it was plenty fast. But I take it you never made it past the bridge.
Why does the express wait for the m local tp cross over ??
If that’s normal or routine, no need to run an express
