Thanks for the memories..as a kid growing up in Brooklyn, the highlight of my like was when we rode the train and I got to look out of the front window...pretending like I was driving the train...these videos bring back those memories

I believe either 3/29/18 or 3/30/18 was the last time the R62A's ever ran on Flushing. The end of the SMEE era on the 7 line too.. I'll remember these trains on the 7.
I have a GoPro Hero 6 now, I just got it over a week ago. I love the 1080p240 and 4k60 setting so much! This video is a perfect example of how good and powerful this small camera truly is!
A lot of new condos in Long Island City being built that I haven't seen before? Very interesting indeed. I have been out of NYC for 5 years now. It has really changed in 5 years?
Sad but happy at the same time!! Sad because it is now history, R62As on the 7 Happy because as early as January 1 CBTC can be enabled and soon the line be automated like the L.
The 7 Line will have the new speakers as well as other lines except for the 7th Avenue Line and Lexington Avenue Line. The R62A is still at the Corona Yard.
R33WF/R36WF were the workhorse of the 7 Train 1964-2003. 62A was displaced by the 142A on the 6, now thry are back home on the 6 with the 7 now all R188. This is truly the end of the RFW on the A Division/IRT as those Remaining cars will be vonverted to full cab either to the 1 or 6 train. Sad.
Alex The railfan Yes. All the 62A that had RFW on the 7 were converted to full cab when transferred to the 6, this is why i am going to miss Car 1960 which was one of the remaining RFW on the 7
@@juliannebeland4719 same length as all the other numbered trains of this type. It’s simply a unique trait of the 7 due to station length and ridership.
You don't want the 7 line going to Jersey. Once the subways travel interstate, different union rules take effect, including the right to strike, and the MTA knows this.
Why were those trains as silver as those in Chicago on the CTS?. Everything looked the same as Chicago, with almost every station looking the same, even the buildings in NYC and surrounding areas, as was in Chicago looked the bland same, and so different to how it looked here in London.
Good video but that place is extremely ugly. It must suck so bad having to live in a this hellhole. Is this a particularly slummy part of the city or is it all like that?
why travel to exotic destinations to get treated like a naive piece of sh*t ? for 2.75 you can swipe, gaze and wonder all day long for an experience youll surely choose to soon soon forget , and youll have saved a sh?tload of money, time and, hassle . nyc is a top of the line experience.

That brilliant signalling fun @ 5:20
KEKW
Yuvraj Hanspal how many signals ahead is the previous train?
7 train begins underground and ends underground...cool..
And the 3 is the opposite
Great Video man i love the IRT 7 line.
Sir 2k DA GOAT better than the 5
Sir 2k DA GOAT 0 .

But everything looks curved, when it's not. I liked the view on Dj's old camera better.
man. this view of the tunnels almost made me claustrophobic
KEKW
I was trying to find my old station, 46 bliss. Used to take the #7 every day to work in the 80's.
Cool I love the R62As
6:25 _"Hey! Someone stuck a camera to the front of that train!"_
R.I.P. R62a 7 train 1983-2018.
Alex The railfan actually the R62A arrived on the 7 line in 2002 RIP R62A 7 train 2002-2018
17:12 3 TRAINS AT ONCE!! N R160, R188 7 train, and the train the camera is on is the (used-to-be) R62/A 7 TRAIN
Thanks for the ride. I remember when it cost a nickel. There were no subway tokens then. And, it was cleaner and safer.
First the R62A replaced the Redbirds then the R188 replaced the R62A on the 7 line
A lot of new condos in Long Island City being built that I haven't seen before? Very interesting indeed. I have been out of NYC for 5 years now. It has really changed in 5 years?
Long island/Astoria got new zoning plans, and oh my god has the area changed
Condos!? Lol. Wishful thinking. Tenants have no ownership in those buildings.
Was it better back then? This place looks terrible, I really feel bad for the people having to live there.
Sad but happy at the same time!!
Sad because it is now history, R62As on the 7
Happy because as early as January 1 CBTC can be enabled and soon the line be automated like the L.
Are you sure that cbtc will be enabled on may 1st?
doubt it
So the 7 isnt existin anymore ? Why did they deleted it from the tracks?
The 7 Line will have the new speakers as well as other lines except for the 7th Avenue Line and Lexington Avenue Line. The R62A is still at the Corona Yard.
No. When they say transfer, they mean actually leaving the 7 lone and resting in a completely different yard.
Corona yard? They already named a place after that china Virus?
@@dennisk.7574 no it's before they named it in 1915 or 1920
In 2002 the R62A came on the 7 line R.I.P R62A 7 train 2002-2018
NOOOOOOOOOOOO😢🥺🥺😭
THANK YOU FOR THIS
my favorite line
Why did they add a cabin door at front of the accessible front window on the r62s
Nice cool good vid👍👍
Awesome! Do you think the R62As will be back on this line again or are they done with this line now?
Lucien Baumann well that’s a shame... BUT, don’t forget... there is ONE train that still runs on the 7 line with a RFW: Train of Many Colors! :)
❤ your work...
What kind of camera are you using? this looks amazing! Can you do an r32 A train?
The stopping of this train takes longer to stop than most subway systems in NY? I noticed.
because long
Because IRT Flushing uses 11-car trains.
I like the pretty turbines on that building when you first come out of the tunnels
they stopped working
R33WF/R36WF were the workhorse of the 7 Train 1964-2003. 62A was displaced by the 142A on the 6, now thry are back home on the 6 with the 7 now all R188. This is truly the end of the RFW on the A Division/IRT as those Remaining cars will be vonverted to full cab either to the 1 or 6 train. Sad.
In the third sentence did mean R62a will be converted to full cab?
Alex The railfan Yes. All the 62A that had RFW on the 7 were converted to full cab when transferred to the 6, this is why i am going to miss Car 1960 which was one of the remaining RFW on the 7
I’ve seen a few R62s in garbage duty or in transfer videos in 2021. We may be able to get it on shuttle services.
Love these videos!
greg
When did the last R62A train run?
Are the lights always on in the tunnels, in London , UK the train tunnels are always dark....
The lights are always on, the rats have to see where they're going.
Yeah when I drove in London, it annoyed us when they left the lights on for whatever reason.
32:20 is that a cbtc signal,because it’s turned off.
No, that's an old block signal. There aren't any signals along the track with CBTC.
The next stop is Huntington Street Station.
I can't decide which line is more "oddball" compared with the rest: The "7", the "J" or the "G"!? Maybe the "S"?
Not sure I understood a single one of those station calls on the loudspeakers. :-/
That's the only R62A in service?
Sharon Watkins there are 2 sets left in service
Why does the 7 line have 11 cars instead of 10?
Cars used are a different length
@@juliannebeland4719 same length as all the other numbered trains of this type. It’s simply a unique trait of the 7 due to station length and ridership.
What train car number was this? Since the Redbirds faded away, it's no fun riding in the front car anymore.
In underground 1 way max speed 68 km/h ?
Yes
Well, rip R62A (7) trains.
I think we should all flock to the (J) (Z) next as the R32/R42 will be leaving the line very soon.
Sadly
I thought that's it for R62As on the "7" line, now only on the "6" line
At queens bro plaza do the countdown clocks display 7 and N/W times on the same screen,have separate countdown clocks?
Yes
DJ Hammers why u didn't do the new 7 train why u do the old train for
The 7 should have been extended to both the WTC and to Secaucus(with a double fare,half of which going to PATH.)
You don't want the 7 line going to Jersey. Once the subways travel interstate, different union rules take effect, including the right to strike, and the MTA knows this.
Are the R62As now all on the 6 line
Why the skip edit at 39:13?
Why were those trains as silver as those in Chicago on the CTS?. Everything looked the same as Chicago, with almost every station looking the same, even the buildings in NYC and surrounding areas, as was in Chicago looked the bland same, and so different to how it looked here in London.
Just natural colour of stainless steel.
Is the train a R62 or an R188???
She’s an R62A.
I’m old school... It’s Motorman s point of view.....
I Don't Understand Why Conductor Say 16:31
Good video but that place is extremely ugly. It must suck so bad having to live in a this hellhole. Is this a particularly slummy part of the city or is it all like that?

The announcer is terrible. When I was a kid on this train the announcer was annoying but you heard him loud and clear.
