24:49 A gorgeous view. The E and F trains used to go 'straight' through to the right where the tunnel on the right shows. Now the E switches into the former center pocket track, and the F comes up from under where the E and F used to run through. How the civil engineers accomplished this move is mind boggling, but no one on this site wants to tell me, EVEN IF YOU LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY AND SAW IT A HUNDRED TIMES ! Thanks a lot ! Love, Aarre Peltomaa
This was my train ride in high school going from Jamaica Center to Manhattan. I moved out of NY a few years ago and I miss trains .. not entirely, but I had good memories sitting all the way in the front looking out at the tracks as if I was the conductor. It kept me entertained on the long ride along with music. Couldn’t beat it.
I wonder if that's a bellmouth for the never-built Worth St. line at 1:55. At 30:35, the turnout to the never-built Winfield Spur is visible. Woodhaven Blvd. was designed to be converted to an express stop, if the need was there.
Great video! The only thing that concerns me are the trash littered on some of the subway stations. But a shout out to the MTA workers who are making sone subway stations cleaner as best as they can and transforming the appearance that every commuters transport themselves towards their destinations. Let's keep New York City looking beautiful as a vibrant city as it is.
I miss The 🔵(E)🔵 Train so much!! It will continue to be my favorite line out of all the subway lines. My top two are two of the archer extensions: Jamaica-Van Wyck, and Jamaica Center!! Damn it, I miss this line so much!! 😔 Thank you for showing this to us!!! 😊
These are the best videos thank you for uploading this. I don’t know if it’s my eyes, but this train was going very fast throughout the whole video lol
Nice, thank you for sharing. Curious what's beyond the last stop at Jamaica. Is there a track switch over past the station, is there access to a yard beyond this point?
The platforms are split up here. The side platforms are for local service (C and E). The middle platform and tracks are for express service (A). The far left track you’re seeing would be for the downtown C and E trains.
Today I booked a trip to New York for this summer, my home station will be 7 Av. B D E Hey ya’ll, great video. I write from Palermo, Sicily, Italy. a.D. 4.V.2024
Amazing video as always. I always thought the Mta should extend the E to lefferts by building the connection from world trade to the court street museum station. Then the E and C would be able to continue through to hoyt Schermerhorn without crossing the A line and continue thru but thats just wishful thinking.
You know we could potentially replace the LIE with a new subway running along a restored Hoarce Harding Blvd up to Springfield Blvd and eventually to Little Neck. Though I have a twist in this one. The new line will be four tracks. Two tracks, will be a branch of the Queens Blvd Line. However, it would be the other set of tracks, a branch of the Crosstown Line), that would begin service first. Starting at Bedford-Nostrand Avenue, this line would head east under Lafayette Avenue with a stop at Throop Avenue. From there, it would turn northeastward along DeKalb Avenue with stops at Broadway, Myrtle-Wilson Avenues, Wyckoff Avenues, and Seneca Avenues. After that, it would swing over to Flushing Avenue and make stops at Metropolitan Avenue and then Fresh Pond Road before it shifts briefly along Borden to 69th. After a brief stint along Caldwell Avenue, it would then stop at 80th Street before heading up via Eliot Avenue and Woodhaven Blvd to Queens Blvd. At Queens Blvd, it would then meet up with the two tracks from the Queens Blvd Line to form a four track line along the LIE/Hoarce Harding corridor with stations at strategic connection points with the bus network. Along this corridor, there would be an express station at Junction Blvd followed by local stations at 99th Street, 108th Street, (potentially) College Point Blvd, and then Main Street, followed by an express station at Kissena Blvd, serving Queens College. From there there would be local stations at 164th Street, Fresh Meadows Lane, and an express station at 188th Street. Following there are local stations at Francis Lewis Blvd, Oceania Street, and an express station at Springfield Blvd, near Queensborough Community College. This is where local service ends. Express service then continues East along the corridor, with a stop at Hampton Blvd, and from there the line rises on a two track concrete elevated structure a la Airtrain for the next stops at Douglaston Pkwy, Marathon Pkwy, and eventually the terminal at Little Neck Pkwy. The two branching tracks from the Queens Blvd Line would actually be dependent on the conversion of the Woodhaven Blvd station into an express station, something that is really, really needed (why this station wasn't built as an express station from the getgo is beyond me). Reportedly, this would involve rerouting the local tracks outward with the side platforms becoming the island platforms. This essentially should create some space for two tracks to diverge from both the local and express tracks to ramp downwards to a lower level and curve to the LIE Line. Ultimately, the LIE Line should be looked as a third priority corridor for Eastern Queens, though that Crosstown branch on Lafayette and DeKalb could start construction first to fill in a gap in the subway network since the Myrtle Avenue Elevated was torn down. As for eastern Queens, the first two extensions that should be done is the extension of the Flushing Line eastward along Northern Blvd to Bell Blvd and the Queens Blvd Line extension to Springfield Blvd as well as the (E) train extension along the LIRR Atlantic Branch to Francis Lewis Blvd in Rosedale (rather than Springfield Blvd in Laurelton in the original plans). These three extensions would help simplify service on the (7) route, increase capacity on the (E) route, and provide better coverage in Eastern Queens. With these three extensions, many bus routes would be realigned to no longer serve Flushing and Jamaica, but rather better connect Northeast and Southeast Queens. As for the other corridors like Union Turnpike, Hollis Avenue and Linden Blvd those corridors would be a later priority since they are a part of larger plans to replace elevated structures in Brooklyn and Queens.
Great observation and question. With CBTC, the ATO is in control of the speeds and the train operator is also aware of the needed speed for the area. #pilotsoftheunderground 🏆🚈💨
In NYC, MTA train operators earn between $60,000 and $70,000 annually; wages starting at about $30 per hour. Typically, these employees receive their paychecks through direct deposit, eliminating the need to visit their specifically designated location for payment.

Thanks For The E Train Video Totally Appreciate It Awesome NYC Subway System Shout Out To All Subway Motorman's Keep Doing You With Excellent Success
Seems the E and F express trains can get a bit bottlenecked between 63rd 53rd st tunnels and Forest Hills during peak rush hours. great views.
Queens Plaza as well when dispatch has to choose between the E or the M going first to Court Square. Manhattan bound at least.
Which is why F/M should swap tunnels
Thank you for sharing God bless 🙏
I’ve been waiting for this. Excited 🎉
Hi from Paris, France ! Always a pleasure to watch your videos !

At the 13:28 mark, 50th street station, there are full length cross ties on the tracks. Rare for an underground IND station.

Can you film the rush hour E to 179th street or F culver express?
Yup

great video! please next do the path from wtc to newark plsss
Nice, thank you for sharing. Curious what's beyond the last stop at Jamaica. Is there a track switch over past the station, is there access to a yard beyond this point?
I like the E
At 39:08 the middle track on the right is connected to the once New York's Worlds' Fair Line of 1939.
@10:40 what’s the far left track at 34 street?
The platforms are split up here. The side platforms are for local service (C and E). The middle platform and tracks are for express service (A). The far left track you’re seeing would be for the downtown C and E trains.

They've done M from Metropolitan to Forest Hills. Knowing WTAE they'll probably do the reverse trip.

32:28 I'm not very familiar with the NYC subway signalling system. Why did the train fully stop at a yellow signal?
Great observation and question, one that can only be answered truthfully, by that operator; it's imagined they had their personal reasons. 🫡

Why was that one signal at court square not flashing was cbtc deactivated?

@wtaenyc ofcourse I'm sure it helps when your driving the same line over and over again you get used to it. Lol
What do the flashing green lights mean?
