Top Three Things About The Weekend: 3. Not having to work (but a HUGE thank you to those who do) 2. A steaming cup of coffee 1. Waking up to find WTAE uploaded a new video. As always, thank you!
Thank you so much as well for your continued support and your wonderful weekend. Along with the coffee, we imagine that the video was just as refreshing as the cup and looking forward to sharing more such content moving forward. Thank you again for sharing and maximum respect to you and the family. 🫶🫡
I never knew how beautiful that ride is through the earlier part of Brooklyn. There’s something so beautiful scene, trees, and concrete an iron mixed together. I live in Florida now, but I do plan on visiting again. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video.
And we thank you so much for sharing your kind words. It’s an honor to assist you in seeing parts of the city that you were unable to see prior. Sending positive energy to you and your family, especially during your next NYC visit. Thank you again and looking forward to hearing more. 🏆🫡
@@wtaenyc Sounds like a plan my friend! Thank you once again for this experience. I’ve got my uncle and cousin watching your videos and enjoying the ride! Thanks again!
Nothing compares to R32s on the Brighton line in the 60s and 70s. The R40s were best on the E&F. When those stations and the R1/9s were still lit with incandescent bulbs those cars with the gleaming stainless steel and bright front signs looked so modern and awesome.
The B Train Great Line GREAT Video Shout Out To All NYC Subways Lines Motorman Keep Doing You With Excellent Successfully Nothing But Greatness The Next Stop Is Bring In More Videos
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words towards the video and towards those responsible for the safe movement of NYC’s trains. We vibrate that energy to all involved in the entire system of NYCT 🏆🫡
Riding the B or Q trains on the Brighton line in Brooklyn, is like riding my home subway, the #5 Dyre Avenue line, in the Bronx. It has such a beautiful scenery with it's original railroad structure look to it.
@@wtaenyc I'm from Montreal, big transit fan. it's so nice to have the possibility to witness this. the Bridge is pretty crazy, and i will say my favorites are the M and the 7 train!
Great video as always, looking forward for a (D) to 205. (B) to Beford Park Blvd. (1) to Vancourtlandt PK. (6) to Pelham Bay Pk with the City Hall loop as a start.
Back in the 1980's, I took the B train to work from Brooklyn NY. I got on at the Bay Parkway and 86th street station. The train originated at Coney Island. I remember the going from Bay Parkway and 86 St. until it went underground at 36th street in Brooklyn, NY. Then it went express to Pacific Street in Brooklyn. Looks like the B trains route was changed.
Yup. I believe in 2004 after the tracks repairs that carry B & D train service over the Manhattan bridge coincide with Stilwell Ave/ Coney Island station renovation was completed, the two lines swap. B became Brighton Express in Brooklyn and the D via 4th became west end.
The B was moved off the West End Line in mid 2001 for the Manhattan Bridge work. The W was created to replace it in Brooklyn while the B ran from 34th Street north to 145 and Bedford Park Blvd. 34 to 145 being only about 14 stops. Prior to this, the B ran as a shuttle overnight between Stillwell and 36th street. When they reopened both sides of the bridge in early 2004, the B was made the Brighton Express and the D the west end local so that the B could be shut down at nights and weekends and give all four lines at Coney full time regular through service to Manhattan. Also the Brighton Line ridership made it known they preferred Broadway service so the Q was promoted to permanent full time Brighton local.
Thank you for sharing this part of history as it relates to this line. Honored to know the community was able to assist you with the changes that took place, and the timing to said changes. 🫡🫡
It’s an honor to know you’re watching the videos until the end. We imagine with those tears, there is some joy inside of them and so, we’ll focus on the joy and thank you for tuning in. Looking forward to sharing all that we have to offer. 🏆🫡
24:42 It looks like the bellmouth for the never built turnback loop to not cross the bridge. 26:09 and 27:44 You can see the expansion joints in the rails at these tall vertical supports. 28:55 Awesome !! You can see the two former BMT tunnels to the left that used to go to Canal Street, and the Broadway - 7th Ave BMT (to the left) before the Christie St diversion to the right was built ! Every time I see your videos, I am reminded that no one even comes close to your quality. I would not be able to see these details in anyone else's videos. Aarre Peltomaa of Mississauga, Ontario

That was the old Myrtle avenue station which allowed for a transfer to the elevated Myrtle avenue line. It was deemed "redundant" and closed down well before the Myrtle avenue line itself ceased operations south of Broadway.
@@CraigFThompson Thanks for the info. Watching all these awesome subway vids I’m trying to spot all of the abandoned stations. City hall is always the more popular one but I’m sure there’s probably dozens of abandoned stations down there.
One of my favorite parts about about the trains we get to look at bridge, sunsets, other trains buses and all the other stuff. But Fun thing all we get to see beauty and live a best life. Thank you so much for youre for the times where we are mad, Thank You for making people days. God bless you wtae!
Sono appassionato della SubWay di New York dal 1988, finalmente tra non molto la vedrò per la prima volta, grazie per i tuoi magnifici filmati. a.D. 13.V.2024
The bucolic Brighton Line has always been a favorite of mine, but I am patiently waiting for the (3) "Red Rocket" to Lenox Terminal. The vid to New Lots was straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥 with those R62s.
I used to work at Stacie Island Pen, which was next to the Kings Highway station. The lead motor sounds like it needs to be set out at CI for wheel truing.
It’s amazing how well you know the sounds of the trains; genius. We imagine that the system will do what’s necessary, to ensure the continued improvement of its trains and system in the whole. 🫡
Very enjoyable and informative video. It's a shame about all the trash on the tracks at the open air stations. Do you know what all the white bags are in the subway? Thanks very much.
Thank you so much for sharing. We agree that it is unfortunate about the trash and as the system installs more trash receptacles, we imagine that folks will continue to use them, so that their trash doesn't get onto the tracks. As for the white bags you mentioned, it is believed that those bags are bags the employees use, when they are doing work on the tracks in that area; maybe they are left there until the work train passes to retrieve them and/or the workers come back to finish their work. 💯🫡
More like that switches to the opposite track which goes through the Montague Street Tunnel to Whitehall Street South Ferry where the R runs and sometimes the N during nights and weekends 😊
@@mikepignatelli273 I have never notice another interlocking track going thru the Montague St. tunnel connecting it to the R line going toward the Whitehall St. station
(B)est. Video. Ever. One of the (B)est routes in the subway with the R68/As roaming around in Concourse-CPW, 6th Avenue, and Brighton Line.

Thanks for sharing. As for your question, a viewer, like yourself, pointed out an editing error we made prior to posting. It was something very small but it isn’t something that aligns with the experiences we’re looking to give and therefore it was removed. We take full accountability and look forward to making the necessary adjustments. Thanks for asking and thank you for your support. 🏆☀️
@@wtaenyc Thanks for the reply. I totally understand. I didn’t see it, but no worries. You folks make great content as always. Looking forward everything to come 😃
Literally just discovered this page and the nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks. I started taking the train by myself in middle school & i sued to take the Q train to Ave J, then when I went to high school i took the express (back the was the D train) to Brighton beach. Love the page, keep up the great work.
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your memory. It’s an honor to know that the video and channel, can take you back to a time when you started showcasing your courage by riding the train alone. Thanks again and we look forward to your continued support. 🏆🫡
I hate getting dragged from 116 ball to 59 by a slow delta. Even slow ass charlies on cpw. Sometimes if I see a yellow leaving grand or blaf I'll just hold.
We manifest that the system is able, with the given resources, eventually get faster equipment trains onto this Brighton line; it would be interesting to see and we're sure things are being done for a reason.
Why are all the elevators jointed rail with wood ties. Can't they do continuous relative rail with composite ties and elevated to make them more quiet? They have continuous welded rail in the subway but why not on the elevated?
Interesting question. We manifest that given the necessary resources, the system will continue finding ways to make it as quiet as possible while still providing the vital service. 🫡🫡
Thanks for asking. A supporter was kind enough to bring an editing error to our attention, and because that error doesn’t align with the experience we’re giving, we took it down and are currently discussing alternatives. We take full accountability for this error and appreciate you for your support. 🫡🫡
Thank you for taking the time out to share your thoughts on the graffiti done by artist. We manifest them using a different canvas moving forward. What did you like about the video despite the distraction?

@@Snowy-oq4ur Thank you!!
One of my favorite runs..... Especially, when the slants were assigned....
Those slant trains were truly classic. Despite this being a R68, what did you think of this experience?
@@wtaenycThose R-68s, at the very least, allowed a forward view; sup'm which was covered up with the 44-46s....
Nothing compares to R32s on the Brighton line in the 60s and 70s. The R40s were best on the E&F. When those stations and the R1/9s were still lit with incandescent bulbs those cars with the gleaming stainless steel and bright front signs looked so modern and awesome.

If you freeze it at 20:33 the interlocking track on the right is for the N and Q train going over the bridge

Enjoyed this one so much!! Btw, what happened to the new E to queens upload from a few days ago?
Thanks for sharing. As for your question, a viewer, like yourself, pointed out an editing error we made prior to posting. It was something very small but it isn’t something that aligns with the experiences we’re looking to give and therefore it was removed. We take full accountability and look forward to making the necessary adjustments. Thanks for asking and thank you for your support. 🏆☀️
@@wtaenyc Thanks for the reply. I totally understand. I didn’t see it, but no worries. You folks make great content as always. Looking forward everything to come 😃
@@wtaenycwhat was the error?
Literally just discovered this page and the nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks. I started taking the train by myself in middle school & i sued to take the Q train to Ave J, then when I went to high school i took the express (back the was the D train) to Brighton beach. Love the page, keep up the great work.
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your memory. It’s an honor to know that the video and channel, can take you back to a time when you started showcasing your courage by riding the train alone. Thanks again and we look forward to your continued support. 🏆🫡

B train is running local from Prospect Park to Kings Highway because of accessibility improvements at Church Ave
At 1:46 you can actually see my middle school on the right
That’s pretty cool. Shoutout to you all…What’s the name of the school?
I swear when it pulled into sheepshead Bay it was going to skip the stop
😮💨😮💨Shoutout to the great operation and brakes 🫡
Can you do R179 C to Eucild Avenue

I hate getting dragged from 116 ball to 59 by a slow delta. Even slow ass charlies on cpw. Sometimes if I see a yellow leaving grand or blaf I'll just hold.
Thank you so much for your service to NYC. Respect to you for sharing your operating style 🫡
You’d think the B would go faster on Brighton since it’s an old railroad ROW
The r40/r42 and r32 Q trains would fly down the brigton line. The r68s are slow
We manifest that the system is able, with the given resources, eventually get faster equipment trains onto this Brighton line; it would be interesting to see and we're sure things are being done for a reason.
LETS GOOOOOOO.
How’d you like the video?
@@wtaenyc Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's my train! The Q train
💯🫡 What are your thoughts on the experience?
@@wtaenyc totally awesome!
Why are all the elevators jointed rail with wood ties. Can't they do continuous relative rail with composite ties and elevated to make them more quiet? They have continuous welded rail in the subway but why not on the elevated?
I would think the thermal expansion and contraction of long lengths of welded rail would put undue stresses on elevated structures.
Interesting question. We manifest that given the necessary resources, the system will continue finding ways to make it as quiet as possible while still providing the vital service. 🫡🫡
What happened to the E vid?
Thanks for asking. A supporter was kind enough to bring an editing error to our attention, and because that error doesn’t align with the experience we’re giving, we took it down and are currently discussing alternatives. We take full accountability for this error and appreciate you for your support. 🫡🫡
5:34 dancing chains ⛓️
Great observation 💯🫡
Is this section at 23:03 a disused station? if so, which?
That's the abandoned Myrtle Ave station. It could only hold 4 subway cars Instead of the standard 10 subway cars..
Great question and observation; we’re glad to see the community was able to provide the answer. 🏆🏆
Thank you for sharing this with the community. ☀️🏆
THE B TRAIN THE BRIGHTON EXPRESS FROM BRIGHTON BEACH TO PROSPECT PARK
That wall at Edward R Murrow HS looks horrendous. In fact, that entire building is a design monstrosity.
🫣
23:10 - 23:40 Is that an abandoned station?
Yes that's the old Myrtle Ave. station.. Too small for regular 10 subway car service.. Could only hold 4 subway cars at that station..
Myrtle Ave station which was eliminated during the DeKalb interlocking reconstruction in the 1950s
Great observation and question; honored to see the community has answered 🏆☀️
Maximum respect for sharing the answer with the community ☀️🏆
Do r68 on November 28th my birthday
If you freeze it at 28:55 and look to your left that opening at the very left was for the old Nassau St loop.. It was cut in around 1967
That went to the Broadway Line before the south side swapped tracks
The Nassau Loop ran on the south side of the bridge. That opening in the video was for BMT Broadway trains (Sea Beach and Brighton lines).
Respect for sharing this with the community; amazing information to learn.

@09:20 55mph?
Ig
Fair guess
I laugh at the 50mph they put between Cortelyou n Beverly. Those 68s barely hit 35 lol.
Looking forward to the days when that speed limit sign wouldn't be a "bluff." Shoutout to the R68's for their time served thus far 🫶🫡
Vanaf 23.06 lijk je een verlaten station te zien. Klopt dit en zo ja welk station is dit? Dankjewel alvast voor jullie reacties
Geweldige observatie. Dat verlaten station zou het Myrtle Avenue Station zijn. 🫡

I am amazed that stupid people would travel deep into the tunnels to do their idiotic graffiti. They risk getting killed or injured.
Thank you for taking the time out to share your thoughts on the graffiti done by artist. We manifest them using a different canvas moving forward. What did you like about the video despite the distraction?
I would not call a person who paints on private property without permission an "artist". I like everything about your videos especially the tunnels.
