2:16 It's crazy that this portion has been sitting around like this for over 60 years.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Truly awesome to ride out to the ends of lines and see remnants of the older rail infrastructure. 😀

[@jonathanng2390]

Now that Grand Central Madison is open, they should look into reactivating this line. Reopen Ozone Park, Woodhaven, Brooklyn Manor, Parkside, Rego Park. Give the these riders access to Penn and GCM.

@@jonathanng2390 Excellent idea

[@edwardcricchio6106]

They won't do that because it makes too much sense.

7:02 My pfp was taken here 😂 Enjoyed the full tour thanks so much!

[@HughCorbyCruick]

I grew up in Ozone Park and work right next to this line. Certain parts of that line still have an operating railway but it only carries freight trains as the Long Island Railroad abandoned those tracks for commuter use.

Very interesting. Thx for posting

[@etgame3851]

I want to go in but it really hard to do on the a line also nice video i really enjoyed it i did the one on the j and z line the i did the woodenhave station

[@joseyeastwood]

History in plain sight, people walking past what’s left of these ancient stations everyday totally oblivious.

[@T.S.1020]

In light of the recent changes in public transportation infrastructure in NYC, They must do a feasibility study to check the viability of revitalizing this section.

[@kevinb8881]

Very interesting!!!

Thank you so very much for this, I wish to God they'd reopen the Woodhaven Junction Branch (At Atlantic Ave), especially the one that goes out to the Rockaways, which is DESPERATELY NEEDED to this day (It should only be the C train or buses that go out there). P.S. Have you seen what the LIRR at that Atlantic Ave stop used to look like, I saw it a few years ago, it's AWESOME and pristine even to this day why the city doesn't reopen it is beyond me. Thanks again. P.S.S. The remaining train tracks going out to the Rockaways is amazing too.

The RBB should b rebuilt with 4 tracks all the way to Rego Park. QBL local trains run express and Superexpress trains run local. Parkside, Aqueduct Racetrack, and Broad Channel become express stops, Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn Manor, Atlantic Ave, Ozone Park, and Howard Beach remain local. Hamilton Beach gets rebuilt so the residents can save their gas money and reduce their long walking trips to the current nearest station.

[@Urban_Man]

@@harrykatsos Howard Beach serves JFK, shouldn't it be express stop?

[@AleksPlayz]

Where do we enter through to walk on the tracks?

[@Urban_Man]

I forgot the location
