Why There’s No 4th Avenue in Manhattan
You** probably won’t find 4th avenue on a map of Manhattan. Most of the island has avenues going 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Lexington, Park, Madison, then 5th… so what happened to 4th?
** maybe not you exactly... I know this channel's audience is very knowledgeable about New York.

The Entire History of the NYC Shuttle
มุมมอง 32Kปีที่แล้ว
From well before the beginning of the NYC subway in 1904 to the present day, this is the most comprehensive history of the 42nd street shuttle on TH-cam. This project was almost six months in the making (I started early October 2022), mostly because of other conflicting video projects. I hope you find this video informative, thank you so much for watching. If you have any corrections, please co...
the M15 needs fixing... (NYC)
มุมมอง 10K2 ปีที่แล้ว
As the busiest bus route in New York City, the M15 needs to be reliable to help as many people as possible. Right now it and many other bus lines suffer from heavy traffic and overcrowding during the AM and PM rush hours which need to be addressed. This video isn't about the subway or trains but the second avenue subway will help. Here are some possible ways to improve the M15: discussion? Post...
Why Do Metros Use Rubber Tires?
มุมมอง 19K2 ปีที่แล้ว
While most subway systems like the London Underground and the one in New York City use steel wheels, a few metro / subway systems in the world use rubber tires. Some examples include the Paris metro, Montreal metro and the Mexico City metro. follow me: RobertHalpern_ Sources: Steel reduces 85-99% of friction statistic - steelinterstate.org/topics/steel-wheels-or-rubber-tires ^^^ Thi...

In Defense of the R46... (NYC Subway)
มุมมอง 78K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In 1975, the R46 / R-46 were placed into service on the B division of the NYC subway. Built by the Pullman Standard Company, these cars have been in service for nearly 50 years and have faced their fair share of problems. In this pretty short video I went over some of the best and worst parts of this car. This video was scripted, filmed, and edited by Robert (me). I used a bit of footage from G...

    The R46s are the best trains to ride. The fluorescent lights plus white walls and ceilings on NTTs hurt my eyes, while the interiors of the R46s are a lot easier on me. And getting a forward facing window seat gives much better views and makes me less nauseous than longitudinal seating. And as a lover of all things vintage, that fake wood and beige wallpaper just feels so nostalgic. I’ll miss these.

    The bus lane on 2 Av needs to get moved away from the curb. Construction on the west side of 2 Av ends up rendering the lane useless and buses end up in traffic.

    The most amazing cars! I would often take the IND just to avoid the R-32s on the IRT. Quiet, quick, and the space-age sounds when the door opened. An incredible ride especially to Aqueduct.

    What I liked about the R-46’s besides their looks was the old braking system when I used to run them in the 90’s. When at a full stop and releasing the brakes they sounded like Chewbacca 😂.

    Personally I just dislike how slow they feel, I take a Manhattan-bound N train daily yet I see the R train usually out-pacing it, even if the N was ahead. That is most likely due to other things, but man the 50 years really is felt on them. Also the lighting is crazy soft, feels like I am going to sleep. Nonetheless, I enjoy the train, and it is a pretty cool model.

    Thanks for the video, when i went to mexico city, i just wondered how did the circuit worked, because with conventional metros the supply current with third rail or ohle, goes in and then returns via the running rail, with the metro in mexico city, i didnt know how the circuit was completed, Its cool how a compressed shoe is pressed in the inner steel rails to return the current.
