I just came from a video showing a subway ride in 1986 to see the difference and wow it's like an entirely different city in just 10 years. To be honest I kind of liked the graffiti covered cars from 86 as it kind of showed it was a living city, this is almost too sterile for a city like NY, haha.
Awesome footage. Wow 1996 seems like a million years ago. All pre 9-11 a different world back then in the city. I lived in LI from 97-99. Best times ever. Always took the LIRR into Penn and the subways all over the city.
Reynault Chevalier Had to go to Wikipedia, forgot what the old cards looked like Lol. The first cards were blue w/yellow lettering. And the gold cards were for train/bus transfers. I was using student MetroCards then anyway lol
By that time, all the Redbirds we're long painted red and there was virtually no more graffiti. The 4 train had mainly R62s with occasional Redbirds. The 2 and 5 trains had an entire Redbird fleet. And the 6 train had about half Redbirds and R62s. There was also a mass order of RTS buses with the series 50 engine around this time
4:17, wait a minute, this pair 4280-4281 is now at the New York Transit Museum (originally 4380-4381). Nice that this video managed to catch them. This is also the only slant-ended R40 pair that still survives today.
@boratfantaic I been hearing that propulsion sound everytime in years when the train leaves. Back then in the 1990s, D train sounded different because the air pressure was on the heavy mode to get the train go faster. It was young and 10 years old in new still at that time. Since it's old, the sound of the D train sounds the same still but the air compartment is diffrent to safely accelerate which takes a lot of time to keep in speed. I have passions of trains and I know all about it
I noticed the same thing on the R62As when I went back to NY back in 2017 to visit some relatives, I hopped on the (6) train and noticed how sluggish those trains are runnin now
@boratfantaic I noticed because it was R40M/S on the B at that time. There was only 2 R68A trains only on the B in the 1990s used to run along the A until 168th. Now Bronx.
@boratfantaic Plus it used to burrow the R32 air brakes in the 1990s and someties late 2000s to make even super fast in the heavy set which is a 75 foot D train. Today, the air compartment is realized as old usless
@boratfantaic well, honesty. R68 ran part time with a B in the 1990s because of R30's retirement in 1994 from C line but R68A was most in service in 2 train revenue run. Still is today. About smoothness, Yeah it used to be but now, it sounds loudly aggressive
@boratfantaic It came out in late 1998 as a official video camcorder in Columbus Ohio for private news purposes and HD test but supported by T.V inl late 2006.
@junjun798 You're right about that too. it ran on the Q,N,D which I know and B in little as of two trains. I know my facts but plus I was going to say that in his next comment
@boratfantaic That;s right but we stll got them today in our city without any reports of accidents. It's accident free and this I'll say is a best subway train ever debuted in NYC almost 3 decades
Don't know too much about the headphones but this was definitely shot in 96. I think the dude looks like Bill Clinton? Maybe he had access to super secret future technology.
20 years later and that West 4 station still looks the same.
Yep
@louie you want a fuckin medal?
Miguel watch your mouth
@@miguelmejia4656 watch your mouth. STOP IT!
Someone build me a time machine. I need to go back to paradise circa 1993-2005. Would love to experience my childhood over again.
Agreed bro lol
Can it be 1993-2006?
What year u born?

@@antresia.9723 LMAO
If I could live from the years of 1990 to 1997 over and over, but as an adult in my early 20's, I would be very satisfied.
I agree except that I would long for better technology (as I did back then).
dude, I was in my 20s, the city was sick back then!
@@ras124 sick as in unhealthy or sick as in cool?
They were indeed, even till 1999.
Ah 1996.. Giuliani had just started to clean things up, and it shows... compare this from a scene from the 1980s
I just came from a video showing a subway ride in 1986 to see the difference and wow it's like an entirely different city in just 10 years. To be honest I kind of liked the graffiti covered cars from 86 as it kind of showed it was a living city, this is almost too sterile for a city like NY, haha.
If you see at 4:12 , you will car 4281. The car in the transit museum along with 4280. The last pair of R40
Pretty cool that this video happened to catch them.
Awesome footage. Wow 1996 seems like a million years ago. All pre 9-11 a different world back then in the city. I lived in LI from 97-99. Best times ever. Always took the LIRR into Penn and the subways all over the city.
I was 19 and invicible now in 2019 my bones are crackling.
Rents and everything were cheap back then.
Maybe in comparison to now. I know someone who lived in NY in the late 80's/early 90's and was paying 2 grand for a 1bedroom in Midtown.
Emphasis on "Midtown". You'll be paying 5K today.
Gentrification in many areas happened in the past 15 years. Some for the best, others for the worst. It's hard to predict.
$490 for a basement apt in Long Island City with electricity included! YAS! Things were cheaper then!
lic is as bad as Brooklyn now
Things were modernizing around this time. Great era.
Cool fact: MetroCard gold would make its
debut the following year in 1997.
Reynault Chevalier Had to go to Wikipedia, forgot what the old cards looked like Lol. The first cards were blue w/yellow lettering. And the gold cards were for train/bus transfers. I was using student MetroCards then anyway lol
@@dchris82 you were born in '82???
Reynault Chevalier Yes
I liked the tokens before the metro card n those yellow swinging exit doors
Now it will be the OMNY system
When New York was New York
real estate investors/developers run the city now.
By that time, all the Redbirds we're long painted red and there was virtually no more graffiti. The 4 train had mainly R62s with occasional Redbirds. The 2 and 5 trains had an entire Redbird fleet. And the 6 train had about half Redbirds and R62s.

Actually, the R62As operated on the 6 line as well as the 1 line.
Wow, this was filmed the same year I was born and W4 still looks the same

10 Year Old Girl: Hey TH-camrs so, i'm with my Mom and we're in New York City, today we are heading to places in this city.
@boratfantaic I noticed because it was R40M/S on the B at that time. There was only 2 R68A trains only on the B in the 1990s used to run along the A until 168th. Now Bronx.
it's as though filmer bear a penchant for dynamic photographs............

Sounds exactly like New York City to this day.
Love the classic M symbot

1996

Me seeing orange Q :OH LETS GO THATS CLASS : Forgetting that this was a video back then
Time pass anyway Don’t forget to enjoy, I’m from 2022 NY
W4 street station looks the same in 2022 as it did back then
The only thing that makes this 1997 is the film quality and box aspect ratio.
Woah that r46 howled
Also I know that is a R46 since it doesn’t have the white strip like the r44
I guess back then R46 used to howl
Some of them still howl
Someone in the video sounds like they are from South Africa
what train is that
Most of that scratchiti is gone on the r68’s except the inner shell
Looks like 2016
D train used to accelerate faster but now abit slower today for throttle
The Transit Home its depending in whos driving the train
@@StandardMedium You mean running the train. There are no steering wheels in the motorman cab
All of these R68s are linked up they were much better as single units
That guy on the train would be on his phone if it was nowadays!
Wow this is 2018
@junjun798 You're right about that too. it ran on the Q,N,D which I know and B in little as of two trains. I know my facts but plus I was going to say that in his next comment
I was a baby then
@boratfantaic That;s right but we stll got them today in our city without any reports of accidents. It's accident free and this I'll say is a best subway train ever debuted in NYC almost 3 decades
Like
I don’t think it’s 1996 because look at that man his clothes and his headphones 🎧
That cant be 1996 look at 5:29 the guys headphones
Don't know too much about the headphones but this was definitely shot in 96. I think the dude looks like Bill Clinton? Maybe he had access to super secret future technology.
Russell B. Williams Idk cause I wasn't born yet.I was guessing
Anthony Hernandez lmao
+anthony headphones existed already long before 96 bruh.
Those were either coby or sony..i had them too..inremember used even Dj headphone
I was 9.
Taken 1996
I first used it 12 years later station is same to this day grim and boring lol
Good times before De Blasio and tanked the city
