ᴴᴰ R142 - Skip Stop 9 Train to South Ferry Announcements - From Van Cortlandt 242 St

Finally got a chance to upload the south bound/ south ferry bound version of this program. This program is no longer in any r142 and was Recorded in the early 2000s . The 9 Train went defunct in 2005 as it was a redundant service and ineffective at reducing crowding as the skip stop portion was too small.

I never rode the 9 but I loved seeing it ride by when I use to take the 2 train into the city. Long live the 9

I've always thought this woman has one of the smoothest and most pleasant voices. Never heard it anywhere else except for the 2, though, until now. Good catch.

[@NYer8301]

Chris Capaccio the woman that does the voices for the N, Q, R, and W, whose name is Catherine Cowdery, also has a pleasant voice. The woman that provides the voice for the 1, 2, and 3 trains is named Dianne Thompson

I wish Jessica Ettinger Gottesman announced the 7 and all the shuttle trains.

[@skrakaayyyyy_itzyostep]

I'm not even gonna front it's kind of ironic how this man's went from simply making announcement videos to making videos mainly being demanded by the new generation of so called railfans but if he's happy with that then that's what makes him a true legend tbh 💪

[@skrakaayyyyy_itzyostep]

That's my one fear today tho, the videos I used to make in the past were doing well until things like the R211 came out which kind of dropped my channel views every time I uploaded something not rare or anything related to the R211 so it's just a me for me

[@MrRailfan]

Don't worry I still got announcement vids on the back burner, they just take a lot of effort to edit together and haven't had time to record the newest announcements 🙃. If all goes well, I got an announcement vid coming this week. I am happy though that I can post more diverse stuff now and get viewers for it though. Always wanted this channel to have content in combination with announcement vids.

Guys instead of them discontinuing the (9) they could've have the (9) Go local from South Ferry to 225 Street then go express straight to 242 Street In both directions during rush hours and during other times they could've had it go local from South Ferry to 242 Street with the (1)

[@VinceHere98]

They should bring back the 9 train when they build an A division branch line to Throgs Neck.
That, and introduce the 8 train on the Lexington Avenue line, also headed for Throgs Neck.

[@willair6278]

WHY DID THE MTA ERASE THIS BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM

[@dollartree207streetyard2]

Because they wanted to update it. They also got rid of Dianne's transfer announcement at Times Square. It sounded so beautiful.

[@Bentheminor1847]

​@dollartree207streetyard2 r142s apparently have internal storage so they removed it to add new programs

[@FordEscape12345678]

Do you know why they stopped the 9 train service? I wanna know so bad.

[@kevin-cy3cf]

Because it was pointless just like the J/Z

[@MrRailfan]

The J and Z actually has a benefit. It's not set up for speed or to reduce time, it's to reduced crowding as the loads are split during rush hour. The 1 / 9 had too few skip stops for it to work effectively.

[@kevin-cy3cf]

@@MrRailfan mm well you are right but idk to me at least there has to be a better way to handle that problem

[@FordEscape12345678]

[@Bklynkid52]

"The 9 Train went defunct in 2004 as it was a redundant service."
So if that's the case, why does the Z train still exist? Also, the 9 train was eliminated in 2005.

[@exautical5066]

That's exactly what I'm thinking like the MTA is just waisting money if they keep the (Z) train

[@MrRailfan]

Just fixed it to 2005. The J and Z are there to split capacity. The 1 and 9 didnt have enough skip stop portion for this to be effective. Thays why the J Z is still around. The crowding gets split into two lines as opposed to multiple trains all being overcrowded.

[@exautical5066]

Oh ok

[@rahmel2009]

The Z is useful, if It wasn’t around the J would be in chaos during rush hour.
Edit: no it’s not

[@ntrainmta9626]

I didn’t know Mr.Ralfan has new profile picture

[@carmensuero8916]

But Mr Railfan, Why does it say "Please Move Foward To The First 5 Cars To Exit The Doors On The Rear 5 Cars Will Not Open"?

[@coreyfein]

Carmen Suero The original South Ferry loop station only had the capacity for 5 cars, so only people In the first 5 cars could exit.

[@Boeing7.4.7]

That’s because this station is maybe kinda old so it can accommodate 5 car trainss

[@Boeing7.4.7]

Ok I may have or may have not lied about the old part but it is a loop

[@ifoxy-]

Good job!!
