The loco is a GE-47 Ton industrial engine made to the specifications of NYCT subway tunnels (notice low-roof cab). The two engines belong to the South Brooklyn Railway, which is a NYC Transit freight-only railroad. These are the same engines as the yellow ones you see throughout the NYC Transit system doing various maintenance jobs, except painted red so they are distinguishable from the rest of the diesel fleet.
I would like to get a few of those railroad cars to put around my house as day rooms with tracks and all. I would even have an old fashioned turnstile installed in the entrance of my house! Annnk! Whougggh!
I agree! And why not have museum cars 6387, 8506, and 8013 joining them? A few years ago, museum cars 6609, 9306, 5760, and 6239 were in that "train of many colors" and it was one of my favorite fan trips.
South Brooklyn does not connect directly with the national rail network, but interchanges at the Brooklyn waterfront area near Bush Terminal with NYNJ Rail (formerly NY Cross Harbor RR) to get things onto the national rail network. See the latest Railpace magazine for details on the carfloat operations in the New York area.
R36 9401.. I remember being in that car back home on the 6! they should send some of those R33, R36 R40's Down here to puerto rico! teach these people proper maintenance
I agree with you, XSENTONEX, they should have only gotten rid of the R42's 4878 and 4927 and instead keep 8401 and 9565, and give them a new lease on fantrip life, I wonder in fact what's the current status of 8401
Aw c'mon!!!! There's no way they can scrap these reliable looking subway cars. Even Washington Metro wouldn't dare to scrap their railcars, not until it's time to retire the 1000 series Rohrs.
I swear! I never saw that roadbed before! I'm gonna check it out! The is a rail yard in Linden BLVD between Brooklyn and Queens and I don't know from where the trains in that yard go onto the main line; I don't see any switch points that go from there to the mainline . It has always been a mystery to me.
so whats the deal in NYC..you guys are fortunate enuff to restore the fleet with new trains constantly , cause when they scrap stuff in Philly its ran into the ground and has to be lifted most of the time on flat beds and exited..
@pennyf9 MTA is no longer reefing NYC Subway Cars for retirement the R62-R160 are more plastic and more harder to reef and they cost alot as well so The Reefing NYC Subway cars has finally ended the remaining subway cars to be reefed will be the remaining R32s and R42
@DJ4000VOLT well after watching people comment on horns, then i learned horns from variant trains , and now i just know lol-- my fav horn is the Leslie S2M
@junjun798 ok good, i just never liked the idea of dumping them into the ocean. For what purpose? to me they are just polluting the ocean more. The proper thing to do is scrap the ones that are no good and preserve ones in good condition.
@Windowsxpfan2103 Do you what i hate? NY throwing these cars into the ocean, really? if the cars are no good, scrap the bodies, at least they gut them and sell everything else but if they are good, put them in a museum or lets say make it kid friendly and make it a playground for kids in central park or make a display in central park.
How much year is this we’re in 2022 December 30 and the train is super old the New York train are electronic and the train in 14 year ago is not electronic is fuel train and the train have Can change the M to N is on the only drive in the train can changed

That actually sounds luxurious and something I want to do too. I feel like I would get an R160 subway car if I could afford to do all that.
Yes. I live 2 blocks away from here. I hear the train horns everyday.
Lucky!
Same with me!
@@PRL2204 yea true lucky and sorry for a late response lol
I saw this when I was a lot younger in 2010
It's like Star Trek. All the redbirds are dead.

If you exclude museum and locomotive cars, yes.

so the subway is in some way connected to the national rail network, but just not directly
It’s connected to the national rail network on the L train and possibly N train
I've lived nearby for over 50 yrs. I had not seen this move in over 15 years. Nice video.
The sight of the first car with that double blue M was a sad sight to behold....

The scrap yard where those were being taken no longer exists. Now it’s connected to other lines and actually used for some freight service.
That's R-30 8401. The lone R-36 in the middle is 9565.
R36 9401.. I remember being in that car back home on the 6! they should send some of those R33, R36 R40's Down here to puerto rico! teach these people proper maintenance

Yes, they area in the street like trolley car tracks (T-rail embedded in the asphalt.
This video is sad :(

WOW R36S THEY WERE PROBLY THE LAST CARS SCRAPED AFTER THE REDBIRDS ORIG MASS REEFING IN 2003
Aw c'mon!!!! There's no way they can scrap these reliable looking subway cars. Even Washington Metro wouldn't dare to scrap their railcars, not until it's time to retire the 1000 series Rohrs.
THEY BETTER BE DELIVERING THOSE CARS TO MY HOUSE!
hello zura
Nice!
Anyone getting this recommended now?
@junjun798 right, if they are replacing them, they should put them up for sale, i know a lot of people who would want a NYC subway car
Very nice!
@pennyf9 true now at least the R62-R160s will be used for something different hopefully better
@pennyf9 i for one would love a few sets of R62/As on my backyard
How the hell the train drive in the street
its sad 2 see the redbirds go
I swear! I never saw that roadbed before! I'm gonna check it out! The is a rail yard in Linden BLVD between Brooklyn and Queens and I don't know from where the trains in that yard go onto the main line; I don't see any switch points that go from there to the mainline . It has always been a mystery to me.
@MrLuchas123 Trains can't move without tracks, that train has tracks underneath, they're just built into the street, like a railroad crossing.
so whats the deal in NYC..you guys are fortunate enuff to restore the fleet with new trains constantly , cause when they scrap stuff in Philly its ran into the ground and has to be lifted most of the time on flat beds and exited..
They probably go to a Railyard or NYC Transit Museum. Believe me man, I live in NYC.
i did not know that trains could move with out tracks
were dey taking the redbirds to be put on barges or etc to be dumped int he ocean i read and heard dey did tha with those old cars
Big Ant TV Media LLC Redbirds Are Died

@junjun798 ok good, i just never liked the idea of dumping them into the ocean. For what purpose? to me they are just polluting the ocean more. The proper thing to do is scrap the ones that are no good and preserve ones in good condition.
They could have kept those for fantrips.
True, 100%
Where do the trains go if they're being towed by freight?
@DJ4000VOLT THATS A WABCO AA-2 HORN

@Windowsxpfan2103 Do you what i hate? NY throwing these cars into the ocean, really? if the cars are no good, scrap the bodies, at least they gut them and sell everything else but if they are good, put them in a museum or lets say make it kid friendly and make it a playground for kids in central park or make a display in central park.

Street running. The tracks are embedded in the road surface.
