At 1:50 to the left, you can see the Globe (Unisphere?) and NY Pavilion from the 1964 World's Fair. If you're too young to remember that, it's where the Men in Black fought the giant bug.

After the 2nd, 3rd, and 9th Avenue els were constructed, center express tracks were added with upper level express platforms at certain stations. The views from these upper level tracks must have been priceless!
Awesome video from my favorite NYC Subway line. Thanks for uploading it! I love how the train ascends up into the sky at the double-el section around 111th Street.
I've ridden the 7Express many years ago from Times Sq to Flushing. The 6 train to/from Pelham Bay Park operates a similar centet track express only during rush hours in the Bronx.
Hey amazing videos, It would be great to ad a minimap of the line before the video for people who are not NYC residents also checkpoints about the station name would be great, amazin job :D
+Nicky DeGirolamo I am a sasha banks bayley paige guy that is part of sunnyside yard where nj transit and amtrak store their trains. and the tracks that they and the lirr use lead to and from the east river tunnels (which are over 100 years old and reportedly damaged and cracking, thanks to hurricane sandy).
+elirosen1391 They built long tail tracks so they can store a lot of trains south of the station so they can use them all to run rush hour service levels.
KingofKings--Jihyo Gaming I’m from Philly too,you’re talking about the broad street line with a north and south express lines while the El alternate stops during rush hours,I’m also puzzled by the single center line,maybe the alternate as well,with morning rush express going into the city and the afternoon rush going out,I’m just guessing....!!!??
+hockeyboss 689 The T line will likely use R160s, R179s, R211s and possibly R143s (although this is unlikely due to their length of 480 ft. per train).
+Dj Hammers DJ? Rode the 7 train today. There are at least 7 sets I saw, 3 had RFW. I encourage everyone to get their rides while they can on the 62A before they are all gone on the 7 train 😊
+Dj Hammers U know what I realized too riding on R62A 2151 on the 7? Seeing how dominant the R188 are on the 7 u realize just how old the 62A is now. I felt that way when R160 took over the J from the R42.
Considering the electric lighting now available, and the relative low coast....why hasn't NYC installed lighting in the tunnels? It would improve the subway experience for all.
There hasn't really been a need to install brighter lighting to be honest. When workers are down on the tracks, temporary lighting is installed. It's more work and maintenance costs to have more lighting.
I am surprised to hear a full Marathi phone conversation in the background, the guy is talking about his job around 16:30 mark, he is not sure if he would have is job or would be kicked off his job within the next Year and then asking about the other persons health.

As a non NYC resident, would love sub titles in the future to identify locations, stations, etc. but overall great! Thanks
As an NYC resident- mind ya business.

Brings back memories. I always loved getting the front window on the express. That view from the super elevated portion is priceless.
+Monica Matos I'm really glad I recorded this view now, since the R62As with the front windows will be leaving the 7 very soon.
Dj Hammers You did a great job too!
Monica Matos
You can get a front window?

+Luftschlange Thanks so much! That area around 111th is so cool! I'll try to do more lines.
+Dj Hammers Great! I'm looking forward to them. :-)
+Dj Hammers there was some more tracks 34 St Hudson Yards....what does it lead to
+Mashdash thx for telling me

The Lirr trains at 16:41 and 16:55 were epic! Thanks for posting!
I like sub titles also. They give a lot of good information.
Now that was a nice ride, loved that. Last time I was there was back in 2009, and I rode the F line to Coney Island.
DJ Hammers I love your videos. Keep them Up! Love the quality!
+Dominican Scout Thanks so much!!!! Will do! More videos coming soon!
Watching in the UK, brilliant vid. I like some the history that you guys seem to know. Great stuff.
wowwwwwww, awesome :D
good video mate :D
Greetings from Portugal :)
+xxMelinhoxx Welcome!!! Thank you for liking the video!
That was so cool but it was light going in the tunnel and then dark coming out that was kind of strange but love the video
How I love riding the MTA New York City Subway in a nice Sunrise day. Does anyone love it?
It would've been nicer if station/tunnel/streets passed names or whatever were shown
@djhammers i take this train each day from grand central to main in the morning to go to work
love these videos can watch them all day 17:06 what lirr line is that
+Nicky DeGirolamo I am a sasha banks bayley paige guy
that is part of sunnyside yard where nj transit and amtrak store their trains. and the tracks that they and the lirr use lead to and from the east river tunnels (which are over 100 years old and reportedly damaged and cracking, thanks to hurricane sandy).
Always good videos I can watch them all day. Thanks for the point of view. Have you done the 2 line or 1 line yet.
+vsizzle Thanks so much man!!! I haven't done the 2 line and 1 line yet. I'll try to do all the lines.
Good Stuff!! Keep it comin'!!
+TheChicagoL Thank you! Will do.
Beautiful!
+Anders Ekholm Thanks!!!!!!!!
+Dj Hammers 17.08 I saw the Amtrak
Flushing main street is underground??
Watching this in a VR headset with 360 video would be amazing! the future is near.
+john webb Definitely!
Question, are you an operator, or did you just board the front wagon?
Very interesting video
Do you know why MTA built the end of the tail tracks so far away from 34th Street-Hudson Yards station?
+elirosen1391 They built long tail tracks so they can store a lot of trains south of the station so they can use them all to run rush hour service levels.
I'm from Philadelphia. One of our subway uses a 4 track sequence. Why are there only 3?

When the t train starts running, what type of car would it use?
+hockeyboss 689 Not sure yet. It's too far ahead in the future.
+hockeyboss 689 The T line will likely use R160s, R179s, R211s and possibly R143s (although this is unlikely due to their length of 480 ft. per train).
How do they know where to stop exactly?
mk17173n there are markers/indicators/signs on the motormans side of platforms for different train lengths and others in the tunnels, e.t.c.
When are we going on the express track?
I delete comments like this on my pages.
Bitch, is you blind?
Is there anything beyond 34st?
+Benaiah Wells The tracks continue to 22nd St or so, and are used to store trains.
wats with the blue lights always
Can you drive an E train??
I wish I was on the R62A 7 train one day
When will the line be equipped entirely by R188s ?
I'd give it another few months. Get your rides on R62A 7 trains now.
+Dj Hammers Next weekend with MLK holiday I will make it a point to do so. Will miss the big purple 7 logo on the front of the 62A
+John Kaufmann Great, make sure you do it as soon as you can!

Ok I was just destressing watching this, and did not expect them to speak in Marathi (my native language) LMAO @6:15
what is the intro song?

this T/O is going fast
+A08041988 Yup!
REQUEST: Time-Lapse this.
record it on the r188
36:08
Shouldn't these videos be called railfan views and not train operators pov?
Grub-Xer0 it's definitely a decent approximation of the motormans view.
Subway R62A
man that train is too loud but great video tho
