65th st is another spot for high speed action. Only the Manhattan bound E n F trains fly through there. Woodhaven is definitely the fastest station along that express run.
@@tfp_4215 Specifically, the line would begin as a split from the local tracks east of Rego Pk (which actually has a provision for such an extension). By allowing express trains to stop at Woodhaven Blvd, it’ll be easier to transfer between express and Queenslink local trains since the nearest express station isn’t too far away. Also, I suspect that the reason for converting Woodhaven Blvd instead of Rego Pk to an express station is because there’s much higher ridership at the former than the latter.
Yep as a retired motorman B-division RTO, I operated R32s and 38s on this stretch and by far best equipment next to R44s on ‘A’ line. With all traction motors operating I’ve reached speeds of 53-55mph on these sections of track.
I‘m also a retired B-Division train operator in the 90’s I operate R46 on the F- line it was the fun part of the Queens Blvd line and coming to Continental Forest Hill station almost 50 mph easy in the station
We need more videos like this where people just railfan only express trains
Will do!
Well, there is an express TH-camr.
R160’s are perfection on Queens Blvd 🤩
I agree
Exactly. Well said. The R160 fleet are a big hauling machine too
R142A needs a debut but it wont fit
surfing on the E and F would be wild. these trains be going rocket fast 🚀

@@tfp_4215but It is NOT recommended as you may Fall of the train while it’s going on high speeds

Yeah. I saw an E hit 47 mph going through Woodhaven blvd
@@tfp_42157 train 🥶
Sometimes E can hit 50 mph
Try 63rd street station on the E and F
They hit like rockets
Did you know that this local station has provisions at both ends for conversion to an express station?
Oh yeah! It could be used for Queenslink.

Thanks, this was a great video of express trains whizzing by the station. Nice work.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
0:47 when your mom says be home at 7 but it’s 6;59
8:42 was definitely hauling like 50-52MPH
They do go the fastest through this station
@@tfp_4215 good to know wanted to find a place around wood haven blvd to go to so I could see for myself
edit: only runs on mets games
@@tfp_4215 you should try the super express on the 7 line dude goes about 50-55MPH
it's not the same without the R-32s

That's a fact.
Train operators with old equipment used push the trains to max speed on straight lines
It’s even better because these trains are faster and smoother
How fast is this? 48mph? That's the general QBL speed limit
About that speed yes!
Excellent vid 👏
Thank you!
