- This video was meant to release yesterday on Sunday but I had other things to do so I had to delay it, sorry about that. Anyways, after the vacation video, I am now back to making normal train videos. This one is somewhat similar to my video on the LIRR and IRT stations at Mets-Willets Point.
At the former LIRR union hall street station, you can still see the remains even outside of the station besides the slab on the tracks upstairs.
Nice video to listen to while setting up 40 GB worth of OpenBVE stuff.
LOL, Beaver Street.
Love the video keep up the great work!
Interesting. I’ve been going there my whole life. Thanks for sharing.
I always liked Jamaica Station. It serves as a major transit hub to the Airtrain, the LIRR, the E and J lines (fuck the Z), and the buses like Q25, and Q44SBS. Its cool to see its history and how it became to be Jamaica that it is today. Gj on the vid!
It’s not the Z’s fault. The MTA is too cheap and broke to add a third track and make it full express
The Z isnt a thing, what are you talking about?
@@millipedesareking lmao true. (Z) is non existent. like 6 trains per peak direction.
@@jeremiahtaylor1817 ngl if the mta does that, it will benfit so many Nassau St users.
Awesome work !!!!! Binged everything so keep the content coming
I grew up in Jamaica and lived three blocks from Sutphin Blvd and Jamaica Avenue. Tearing down the El changed the whole area.
If you look at a satellite view of where the South Street Station used to be, you can see two stubs.
Would be great if you included historic photos of these now-demolished stations.
Goodnite sir and Thanks for the history lesson about all of MTA Subway Service and The Long Island In Jamaica Queens . Thats a great viedo sir. But Queens as a whole is still under served by Train service just as the rest of Queens. It wouldve great the MTA would've keep the J/Z running to 168 St or extened to 190 st Hollis Queens. But that did'nt happend we got Parsons Blvd and Archer ave instead. Witch geats very overcrowed often. The Long Island shouldve reopend the Union Hall Street Due to York College being there. At least sir.

They need to extend the F, the E to further
The BMT J line began operations as the Union Elevated Railroad in the fall of 1887, it then merged with the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad which opened in the spring of 1887 and become the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad. Both lines merged with each other and initially terminated at Gates Avenue and Broadway. As years went on it was extended to Crescent Street and Jamaica Avenue and then on out to Jamaica Avenue and 168th Street.
You mean it merged with BER in spring of 1888, don't you?
you should do the secrets of mnrr, thers a lot of remnants from PRR/NY Central RR on the main line and Eri Lakawana RR on Port Jervis line and Pascack Valley line.
interesting !! I was just down there Friday !!!
Me too and Saturday
cool video and do a station of lefferts blvd of the a line
well done.
Thank god for captions…
another secret you should know. At Roosevelt island station (F) theres a lower level for the lirr, well it used to be for the lirr.
The lower level track will soon be in use for the L.I.R.R. Into GRAND CENTRAL...look it up
I would propose extending the J/Z and E lines past Jamaica
and the F as well
I would extend it to the Nassau County border.
The 7 train needs to be extended to
Where is nyc subway secret #7 coming out?
Jamaica, *Queens*
You right! Sutphin Blvd where the main LIRR station is at, is not in a major area. The major area has always been Jamaica Center.
I guess that does not matter now with the connection with the "E" and "J" lines. But it does make you wonder why the station was built at this location.
Also, the good thing about bring the "E" to Jamaica Center that it actually goes where people want to go. It is a major retail district for the area.
Just imagine the MTA going with their original plan of putting the "E" under the Expresssway. Yes! It would be cheaper, but inconvenient for most people.
Besides retail, it is a place to catch many buses. An "E" under a highway would just forced those riders to transfer to the "J"; a train schedule to run less frequently.
The "J" has to run like this, because the demand for it is lower than other train lines. But in the "J" favor, it isn't the "R" or "N", it actually very reliable.
But people use to very frequent service would not like the "J" line.
