My God that took so long to make
Thanks for taking the time to share with the community 🏆🫡♾️
Excellent job! Thank you, that had to take you a while. Would have been even longer if the #2 still went to New Lots Avenue like it did back in the day.
At the 52:04 mark, you can clearly see on the left the track to the Times Square Grand Central shuttle.
Really appreciate the little phone app showing the route and the showing the stations. Glad I subbed.

Looking forward to your bronx to brooklyn 5 train video!
Me too
This line is special when it meets up with the 1 line that was the first tunnel they made over 100 years ago.
You know this a veteran operator by the speed going thru the BX. I also know this was recorded on a Wednesday as I know normally on Wednesdays they be doing this track maintenance cause service to skip stops in the BX.
That is nowhere close to a veteran's operation speed. They would've never slowed down approaching freeman on the middle track, Rocking past that station at about 45 mph
@@lamargoat2.054💯💯💯
@@lamargoat2.054I mean the signal was yellow right before they entered freeman. The one right after was green which is kinda confusing
Thanks!
Your continued support continues to be appreciated 🫡♾️
Thanks for sharing this video of the 2 line. I have great memories on this line getting on at either 225 and 219 Streets when I lived in the area 45 years ago. Now, i live near the 5 Dyre Ave line what was known as The Dinky. Back in the day, the 2 line was known as the Beast when it ran to New Lots Ave, Brooklyn up until 1983 when the switch was made between 2/5 and 3/4 lines.
I used the 2 train from 72nd st (which my school was) to all the way to the last stop thank you for uploading this video i love it!!!!!
WOW!…. Absolutely awesome video👍 10/10
This source delivers the true New York experience. Another awesome piece.
Absolutely love the supporting visuals you add, the "next stop", the animated journey on the iphone, sweet touch

Loved the 2 when the Redbird were rock'n..
Right me too!

My first time taking the 2 was when it still had R33 cars from the 5 train. 149th Street-Grand Concourse was the stop where my parents, brothers, and I changed from the 4 train (because I lived next to the 4 at Mount Hope Houses) to get on the 2 to 96th Street as a result of a commencement ceremony my eldest brother had from a jesuit Middle School once located north of 96th Street. It was one of a few lines that I took regularly to the Borough of Manhattan Community College after I finished high school in Taft. I now live near both the 2 at East 238th Street-Nereid Avenue and the 5 train at Dyre Avenue, though I prefer taking the 5 train due to the Dyre overpass connecting the Bronx Park section.
Garrett Goble actually lived near the southern terminus of the 2 train at Flatbush Avenue, which has an inadequate platform setup for a terminus station. It is a sister station to the Misakiguchi station on the Keikyu network in that both stations are on lines with aborted expansion plans. The building of the IBX will make congestion at the station even worse and I feel that an extension down Nostrand Avenue with three underground stations at Kings Highway, Avenue S and Avenue Z would help relieve this. My earlier idea was to extend the line to Kings Plaza, but this would overload the B44 bus because it would serve a corridor where bus ridership is not high enough.

The best video to watch on RUclips. Thank you for uploading it! : )
I go to Medgar Evers College since Fall of 2016. : )
I was lucky to work on both the Deuce and the (A)pple the longest subway lines in the A Division and the B Division. I worked both in all tours!
😮💨🏅🏆 Thank you for your service. 🫡♾️
Patiently waiting for you to do LIRR next!
WPR is the largest trunk line in the Bronx. 241st & BPE in the upper part, 180th & 149th-Concourse is the lower part of the Unionport Yard
i remember riding to the brooklyn museum stop in the summer of 2002... on the 1, when it was still rerouted into brooklyn due to rector street being impassable after 9/11. should also have included that the brooklyn museum stop has a transfer to the franklin shuttle.
Winthrop St was our stop to go home. I miss riding the Redbirds.
Again, WTAE for the win! 🤩 💪🏾👍🏾
Even if I wasn't a train enthusiast, these videos are still insanely captivating to watch, everything from track layouts, station design, and the smooth express ride through the tunnel. Thank you for this content!
🗽🚇🏆🫡♾️
Can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥
It's cool that they decided to install lights in the tunnels Back in the day it was total darkness Now you can see everything
👍My Home Line. I Ride The 2 Train With My Family To 34th Street And 14Th Street. Great Memories. Thanks For The Full Ride
@@jeremynaraine same. But we would switch out to take the 5 instead to go express in the Bronx
🫡♾️
i stood up all night, IVE BEEN READY!!
well my home stop is around 180 st so yes im gonna try to be on time
i slept at 8 am. I couldnt last😢😢
Yes. One of my home lines. I live right near the Freeman Street station on this line.
As always - Another outstanding video! Absolutely love this video as I do every other video you make and that you will continue to make!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Great video of the #2 241 St. line, thanks a lot.
Great job on this video to Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College Welcome To An Experience! I like the 2 train! I sometimes ride this train to the Atlantic Terminal Mall! And to go back home from the Atlantic Terminal Mall! During my ride to Pelham Parkway, where I can catch the Bx12 local or the Bx12 Select Bus Service, I would play some Mario Vs Donkey Kong for my Nintendo Switch, until I'm 5 stops away from Pelham Parkway! How do you keep yourself entertained?
I love the videos I almost watch it every day like 90%
Me too

As a retired Mabstoa operator I enjoyed watching this video. Excellent camera view. I'll hit the subscribe button.
Thank you for your service and your subscription. 🥂🏆🫡
Memories! Back in the '50s my dad had a shop on White Plains Road about a block south of Allerton Ave. If he went in on Saturdays for a while he sometimes took me along. I would stand at the entrance and watch and listen to the Lo-V trains go by on the overhead structure. Pretty exciting for a 5-year-old!
🏆🫡
Thanks for giving us option to supply our own music 🎶 😊
Finally! This was the go to line when i was living in Mount Vernon. 34th Penn Station thanks for the memories
Great as always!!! Keep them coming. Took the 2 train from 14th Street to Burke Avenue still quite a long ride!
Can you do the 5 Bronx express next to Flatbush avenue?
That’s what I said🎉
Let’s go they’re back🔥🔥🔥
Good stuff love a good ole 2 train
Weer een hele mooie video. Kijk uit naar de volgende. Groetjes uit Nederland
🇳🇱🫡♾️
180th Street to 3rd Ave-149th St ("The Hub") in 9 minutes running in Express mode! Impressive.
I remember the time when my mom after she was done working, she takes the 2 train from 72nd St to 42nd St-Times Square
Nice
Wow! What an excellent video.The concept of having express lines actually under the ground is blowing my mind 🙃 On the Underground in London, we only have two section that could remotely qualify as express lines: The Metropolitan Line from Finchley Road/Harrow-on-the-Hill/Moor Park, and the Piccadilly Line from Hammersmith to Acton Town, and both of those are above ground!

Starting at the 28:30 mark as the train takes the curve to the right of way to the tunnel portal, for many decades there were large brick commercial buidings at both sides of the tracks, which included the Loew's National theater at Bergen Ave. By 1979 that entire block was one huge vacant lot. Now we watch this segment and commercial buildings are again at both sides of the tracks.
My name is Kagiso from south Africa THE US HAS A WORLD TRAIN INFRASTUCTURE THE TRACKS NETWORK IS BIG THAT IT HAS MANY WAYS ITS LIKE A SPIDER WEB very nice beautiful video ❤❤❤

Can you do the N train sea beach line from Coney Island to Astoria ditmars? I lived in NYC for 16 years and I loved taking the Manhattan bound N train to school every day. 20 Av was my stop❤
I sometimes learn about why the 2 train goes express from east 180th street to 3rd avenue-149th street; due to track replacements, or if someone has been struck by the 2 train! I get the information from Alex Lee on the PIX11 Morning News traffic report! I even ride on the 2 train after I get some groceries at Stop & Shop, by playing a little bit of Supermarket Sweep!
Ayyy. The 2 line!
That was a lot of Subway Train screeching after East 180 st
At the last stop a fellow climbs over the turnstile, then opens the exit door and lets in two more people.
🫣
A good number of sections in Manhattan with welded rail.
Great Ride
I remember riding entire way, which took about 1:20. Also heard of someone doing under an hour (wee hours express, redbird before ‘kick’ removed, and nothing else to slow down).
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,at 73...............I grew up in bklyn,,,,,,,,rode front car trains all thru the boroughs...............in my adult years always had my alcohol .......great video production.....
Thank you for your service and the subscription. 🏆🫡
This was awesome 🙌🙌🙌

Nice video ❤❤❤❤
You guys should do the Staten Island Railway before R211's completely take over the R44's!
I am so excited for this
Me too
If you plan on playing announcements in the future, I would refer you to Mr. Railfan in the future.
How bout an R211 A train to Rockaway Park
@1:24:22 Man, that is a BRUTAL merge/diverge. Terrible.
Nostrand Junction
Finally!
I know I’m a bit late 😅 but this 2 train video is really scenic especially in the Bronx!😊
Cool
Oh this is a midday GO. Eventually, you’ll want to cover the normal normal midday 2 and the normal midday 5.

It came out yesterday 6:30 pm
This is the line I work

W vid! Keep it up.
Great video; thanks for posting.
What is the app you show in the box?

Nice Trip =).
Yesssss. Been waiting for this
How was the experience? What are your 3 favorite lines? 🚇
4,5,6 by far. Love all the videos tho
hey this is sick can u do the N on its actual route next? thanks!
Good 🙃🙂
This is my train to train next stop is Near Ave., Santa Clara closing door please thank you
Just wondering, when did you film this? Was this during peak or off-peak hours?
OP 🫡
These R142s just squeal and screech incessantly lol can’t even enjoy the sound of the clanking of the wheels and rails without it wailing in the background lol I love these videos--especially this line since it’s what I grew up riding! But my gawd it’s noisy. I love watching 1, 3, and 6 train front views that have R162s
Can you do a 5 train heading to Brooklyn so we can see that turn after 149st and Grand Concourse.
A noob question from a London Tube Geek: I see from around the 20:00 mark, the train transfers onto the centre track of a 3 track arrangement and that this allows the stations to be bypassed. What about "express" trains going in the other direction. Or does the reverse service simply not exist?
Or is the centre track bi-directional? The Y junction where the 3 track goes back to 2 track, makes me suspect that it it, and that the express trains are just carefully scheduled not to meet 😉
Thanks for tuning in from 🏴. Your self-reply aligns with the answer so shoutout to the “geek;” there’s one in us all 🤓🫡♾️
what app is this being used on the phone ?
At 46:35 why do the express tracks dip down below the locks tracks and then go back to being level?
🤔 Great question and observation. Engineering reasons maybe 🤔
Doesn't the 2 train normally run local in the Bronx?
I've waited more than a year since the 3 to New Lots to compare the R62 & R142 express runs. The R62 takes it easily. Nice 2 train run but can't hold a candle to the Red Rocket.
Have a good T/O operate the R142 on those exp tracks and it will blast down those tracks just as fast or faster than the R62. You'd be surprised.
@@lamargoat2.054one advantage is R142 accelerates faster from complete stop
Some Stations in the Bronx are skipped due to track repairs.
Do you know what this makes me want to do this makes me want to watch the video the same time I'm on the 2 train
😎
I can't believe that it took 8min 7sec to get from Newkirk Ave to Flatbush Ave. ! That is pathetic. Now I know why they really have to put in at least 3 tail tracks past the terminal, similar to what is at Norwood 205 St on the D. What were the IRT planners thinking when they designed that ???? Was it a bad day at the office ? The Rogers Junction was also a massive brain fart on someone's part; It would have been so easy for the IRT designers to have done it correct from the get go. Damn !
I loved seeing at least 5 different tunnel types on this trip; different shapes and designs.
I loved the fast run through Broadway - 7th Ave on the express track.
Deinterlining is really, really needed in my opinion. It would be so easy for Flatbush and New Lots - Utica riders to cross the platform at Franklin Ave - MEC to get Lexington Ave or Broadway trains. That isn't so difficult.

When was this taken? This day was so clear and probably hot
Probably this month
At the last stop are those people hopping over turnstile and walking through a gate stealing a ride?
🫣
@41:34 you can see what appears to be a provision/bellmouth on the right. If not a provision, then what's in that space?
Home route ❤️❤️❤️

Say i the r142 is goated
🗽🚇🐐
Notice at 1:02:56 at Park Place, the switch from 150 lb. NMC third rail to 150 lb. IRT third rail as the train, heading further south/eastbound, is pulling into the station.
How can you tell?
@@nybone24 - Pay very close attention to where the third rail is at right.
I see a transistor of some sort
Wow! That’s All your video all about Trains! How did Record under a MTA Subway Train with Running on the Train tracks?
Wondering too
Why is it express from 180 to 149
Track replacement 🫡
Yea I saw them replacing the tracks😂😂
What is the name of the song in the intro
“Stars are dancing” - Lost Souls
❤❤
What a long ride. The fastest Albany-> Penn are 2 hrs 15 min.
The video quality is really good even in the tunnel, well done. But the state of the NYC subway... The signalling, the tracks, the average speed is ridiculous... Calling any service "express" requires some serious sense of humor 🙂
