My home line! Thanks for doing this! Also here's another secret: at 47-50th streets, You can exit at 49th street and 6th avenue NORTHWEST CORNER (If you're exiting on the downtown platform, exit at the back of the platform and vice versa), there will be an elevator there. Once you get to the elevator, turn around and you will see evidence of the V train existing!
I used to live on 18th ave and you could always hear the train before you could see it and it was always fun watching it come around the corner. Also when I would fall asleep I could tell when my stop was because of the curve
In the 1980s...the very last 3 stops in Brooklyn were SHEEPHEAD BAY BRIGHTON BEACH CONEY ISLAND AS THE TRAIN TURN INTO THE SHEEPHEAD BAY STATION..YOU SEE THE RIDES IN CONEY ISLAND..AND THE MORE TURNS AINTO BRIGHTON BEACH. YOU SEE MORE RIDES..AND THEN THE FINAL TURN YOU SEE THE MAIN RIDE..CYCLONE..BEFORE YOU GET OFF THE TRAIN AS WELL FROM THE PLATFORM... WITH THE EXIT SIGN POINTING TO ASTRO LAND/ BEACH
This is 1 of my favorite trains! This train takes me home from seeing the Radio City Rockettes for their annual Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular! And Fordham Road is my station; That's where, like you said; the Bx12 Select Bus Service is back!
It’s true that the Jerome Avenue el station at 161st and River Avenue (served by the 4) predates the original Yankee Stadium, but the Concourse Line was added after. It seems like not formally addressing the nearby attraction was a choice, same as it was at 155th and 8th for the Polo Grounds.
That 175th st end of the station has a closed exit down to the street. About 5 years ago it looked like a cage back there. They covered it up during the renovation.
While you mentioned the switches around 161 / YS, it is worth mentioning that uptown D trains will stop at 161 st / Yankee stadium leading up to events, even during PM rush hours. In addition, while the IRT stationed opened before the original Yankee Stadium was built, the IND concourse station was approved and opened after Ruth's house was built.
you mention the "unused" island platform at the Columbus Circle station, but in reality it's been an underpass connection to the IRT #1 train's uptown and downtown platforms for a few years now, fenced off on both sides to make it clear it's not an in-use platform. A bit of trivia about the unused platform below the 9th Avenue Brooklyn stop: it was used as a filming location for the 19__ "Crocodile Dundee" movie - the only time I've seen the lower level used in a movie.
I'm aware about the “open” portion of the abandoned platform at 59 Street, and I mentioned it when I went here for the A train video. I showed it again here since I wanted to get a shot of the portion of the platform without the transfer passage
Believe it or not, that lower level platform got used one more time back in 2018. If you're interested, watch JOKER, and check out the subway shooting sequence. The darkly lit platform Arthur gets out of? That's the 9th Avenue Lower Level!❤
I propose having the run to Bay Terrace-Cross Island Parkway via Concourse express, Burke Avenue express, Bruckner Boulevard express, & the Throgs Neck Bridge, while the (D) should run to Throgs Neck-Schurz Avenue via Bruckner Boulevard local & the IND Tremont Avenue Elevated Line. I also propose rebuilding the IND Concourse Line to have 4 tracks to allow for express service in both directions. These should be the stations on the IND Concourse Line, IND Burke Avenue Line, IND Bruckner Boulevard Line, & IND Throgs Neck Bridge to Trackage from 145th Street to Bay Terrace-Cross Island Parkway: Ⓜ️ Bay Terrace-Cross Island Parkway (express only) Ⓜ️ Locust Point (express only) Ⓜ️ Miles Avenue (express only) Ⓜ️ Schley Avenue (express only) Ⓜ️ Lafayette Avenue (express only) Ⓜ️ Waterbury Avenue (express) Ⓜ️ Middletown Road (local) Ⓜ️ Wilkinson Avenue (express) Ⓜ️ Gun Hill Road (local) Ⓜ️ Hammersley Avenue (local) Ⓜ️ Eastchester Road (local) Ⓜ️ Boston Road (express) Ⓜ️ White Plains Road (local) Ⓜ️ 205th Street (express) Ⓜ️ Bedford Park Boulevard (express) Ⓜ️ Kingsbridge Road (express) Ⓜ️ Fordham Road (express) Ⓜ️ 182nd-183rd Streets (local) Ⓜ️ Tremont Avenue (express) Ⓜ️ 174th-175th Streets (local) Ⓜ️ 170th Street (local) Ⓜ️ 167th Street (local) Ⓜ️ 161st Street-Yankee Stadium (local) Ⓜ️ 155th Street (local) Ⓜ️ 145th Street (express) These should be the stations on the IND Tremont Avenue Elevated Line: Ⓜ️ Throgs Neck-Schurz Avenue (local only) Ⓜ️Sampson Avenue (local only) Ⓜ️ Randall Avenue (local only) Ⓜ️ Barkley Avenue (local only)
Some of these things I didn't know about the Delta! Primarily the Bronx stuff. Something you could've mentioned is that at that mall at 47/50, there's a sign that says (B) (D) (F) (Q). Surprised they didn't update this sign from the 90's!
And, I don't know precisely where, but inside 47/70 too coming in from the ice ring, you can find art work for the (V). I think 47/70 is so big that they literally don't know where all of the signs are.
In the G train video, you should mention that at 15th St-Prospect Park, there is an outdated sign that tells you when you exit you can transfer to the “B68” “B69” and “B75”. The B69 doesn’t run on prospect park west anymore and the B75 got removed.
I take the train from Charlotte to NYC! Hop on the A train to 125th and catch the D train to 170th to visit my dad who live across the street from Taft High School!
Another Secret: At 170th Street Station theres a staircase that leads to an underpass under 170th street that was closed due to security reasons but I don't fully know what security risks came from it for it to be closed in the 90s
the same is true for 167th Street station, and as someone else in the comments explained, there was a trolley line that used the underpass and once service ended the transfer was gated, tiled over with a door being the only way to access it

I am finally glad you did the D line cause
1: One of my favorite lines
2: I live by that line
Thank You so much Dude!
That 175th st end of the station has a closed exit down to the street. About 5 years ago it looked like a cage back there. They covered it up during the renovation.
161 had rectangular tiles before renovation.
While you mentioned the switches around 161 / YS, it is worth mentioning that uptown D trains will stop at 161 st / Yankee stadium leading up to events, even during PM rush hours.

@ Another comment says it’s on the NW Exit towards 6th Avenue, but I didn’t know that!
Don't skip 145 St, man. It's a seven-track station for Pete's sake.
In the G train video, you should mention that at 15th St-Prospect Park, there is an outdated sign that tells you when you exit you can transfer to the “B68” “B69” and “B75”. The B69 doesn’t run on prospect park west anymore and the B75 got removed.
The Concourse line was supposed to be 4 tracks wide.
I take the train from Charlotte to NYC! Hop on the A train to 125th and catch the D train to 170th to visit my dad who live across the street from Taft High School!
They filmed “The Cowboy Way” (1994) at 62nd street and you’ll see the R40 Slants
2:41 we not gonna talk about the blue D?
(D) Train Norwood 205Th St The Bronx To Coney Island Stillwell Ave Brooklyn ♿
i used to take the D to brooklyn lmao it’s so lonely when it’s not express
After the G, can you do the 3 line?
Should have gotten an invite but it’s whatever, I used this line for my whole life now.
Another Secret: At 170th Street Station theres a staircase that leads to an underpass under 170th street that was closed due to security reasons but I don't fully know what security risks came from it for it to be closed in the 90s

Can u do G next??
Secrets of the 5 train!
Maybe there could be an extension of the D line since the layout is already set for 2 way traffic 🤷
You made add an extra station? The catchment area would just be Webster Avenue as the tunnel does not go through the Bronx River.
E next?
buh whyd you skip over the abandoned staircases at 170 st that use to be a trolley connection
i may be an idiot but i thought this was about the D line in los angeles 😭
D train???.......Pause ⏸️🤭🤭🤭
