**NYCT Employees: Gratitude for your service to NYC.
I'll go ahead and comment here; thank you for these. Reminds me of the days of my youth in the 80s when I used to look out the real fan window.
You ain't kiddin...that, to me, was always the best spot on the train.
Maximum respect; a true honor. 🏆🫡♾️
The front and the last car are tha most fun spots! Between watching the switches to sliding under the east river! WTAE I will always say; nobody does it better than you! Maximum respect!

This guy is FLYING! 1h:43m is sick!
I used to ride from Pelham Parkway in the Bronx to Far Rockaway every month to buy... plants. 😉
It's when they ran the R38s, which had NO shocks and you felt like you were doing 90 over the water.
1:14:57 I LOVE THAT SOUND!
By the way. This train operator's stops are a thing of beauty.
That speed run up to 42 street was blazing. I love riding on this express line
🏆🫡♾️
1h is the normal A train time. Any operator can do 1h.
Thank you for getting a video with the r46. It wouldn’t feel right if the A had a video with one. Hopefully we get an r211 video soon. Would really love to see it stretch its legs between 59th and 42nd. Amazing video as always. Now to watch.
Thank you for sharing and you said it, “coming soon.” 🫡
Man good old days I been riding this R46 on this A line since 2016 along with the R32 and it’s a iconic line like never before 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@56:50 As a kid, I used to love the local vs. express train race. Can't let that local train beat you.
🤣🚈💨🏆
Red signals will make the express line slow down.
As always, the best and well appreciated.

We have a subway-elevated train here in Philly that goes under a river briefly, but NOTHING like this. These bridges and tunnels (and your videos) are pure works of art. Thank you!
Actually I ran into some septa subway videos on youtube, one of them shows the operator bringing the train to the yards. Pretty cool. Look up "SEPTA Rail Roadeo 2014"
🏆🫡♾️ "wtaePhilly" someday.
Y'all do have the PATCO, which runs on a bridge and seems to be very fast besides that. Riding PATCO and SEPTA are in my bucket list for sure.
Great video (A+) 😄. One of your best ones to date. I'm glad the R46 was used for this particular trip Far Rockaway. Those R46 have held down the A line for so many years and there aren't too many decent front view videos of the R46 A train around, but you guys rectified that with this one in my opinion. I would love to request an A train trip out of (Rockaway Park- B 116 St) if it's feasible. If that happens, you guys have reached G.O.A.T. status of subway front views in my book, no if's, and's or but's about it.
Keep up the excellent work as always and you guys continue to inspire a new generation of railfanners. This channel is truly amazing and thank you for bringing us this level of content.

"Innovation for the future." Thank you so much for your continued support and suggestions. 🚈💨🏆🫡♾️
Nice video as always. When I saw an A Train I thought you surprised us with a R211 ride. I really wanted one for the future
Coming soon!
Thanks for uploading these, I really appreciate it.
Excellent video, period. Thanks
Amazing journey. Writing from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The longest subway journey here is half an hour long. I look your videos and think "we're so away". I wish that, someday, the Buenos Aires subway could reach far places like in New York. Today is just hope. But is the last thing to lose.
Thanks for all your videos!
Thank you as well for sharing and looking forward to seeing what the future holds for all subway systems with the advancement in technology, given the necessary resources. Speaking of, someday, "wtaeBuenosAires"...someday. 🏆🫡♾️
Thank you for making the A train to far Rockaway

Very cool. I grew up in the NYC area '60's -'70's. It's amazing how quiet this train is.
Awesome video of the (A) Alpha.Love the curve coming into Jay st metrotech
By far the best quality out there. I have moved out of NYC almost 15 years and watching these videos are truly nostalgic. Thank you for the great content and for make me homesick

The most long hour video to watch on TH-cam. I have to speed it into 2x. Awesome recording the video, WTAE! Keep on Communicating to new train stops. : )

Thanks for sharing; honored to assist with memories 🏆🫡♾️
Great as always! Used to take the A train from Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street to 59th Street Columbus Circle to go to John Jay College. Lots of times I would ride on the R 10s that used to dominate the A line back in the day. Keep up the Great work with these videos.
Maximum respect and shoutout to the R10's 🫡
I Ride The A Train All The Time. A Train Is My Favorite Line. Thank You For This Full Ride.
It’s my favorite line

Best railway infrastructure I wish in South Africa we had this kind of railway system 😢thanks for the beautiful videos
🇿🇦🫡
28:15 From here, you can see the entrance to 42nd St’s lower level. Many people don’t seem to realize why it existed. It was originally designed to allow southbound trains from 53rd St to stop at 42nd St before merging. This is why that platform exists and only does a southbound one. It has since been abandoned due to impracticality as the upper level platforms provide cross-platform transfers and 53rd St trains can wait at 50th St’s lower level anyway. Restoring 42nd St’s lower level would be impossible now since the 7 had to split the platform and track to extend to 34th St due to it having the same depth and runs perpendicular but it’s not an issue at all since such a separate platform just to avoid merging before the station wasn’t really necessary from the beginning.
I heard it was built to stop the 7 train from extending farther westward. But that issue was overcome anyway.
Thanks for sharing. 🫡
Excellent video of the Far Rockaway bound A Train. I was honestly hoping it would be with the R211, but this R46 set was quite nice to ride with.
The one issue I noticed was at the 1:15:00 mark for the next stop of Aqueduct-North Conduit, the phone HUD has it posted as "ADEQUATE N Conduit".
Thank you so much and Thank you for bringing a blooper to our attention; apologies. 🫡🏆♾️

So many tracks at 135th street!
It’s only 6 tracks wide.
@@robroy6374 why is 6 needed? 2 local and 2 express is all that’s needed
Some tracks are believed to be used for both upper and lower levels of 145th street. 🫡

Appreciate you guys as always! This video has to be going on 2 years old. The A and C lines are currently made up of a nice mix of outgoing R46's, R179's and R211's. There are no R211s here and only a handful of 179s.

I ❤NYC subway trains & i ❤NYC, wish you guys can do the Z train, I always take 1,2,&3 trains to my grandmas house and I would take the C& E Train to stonewall and the freedom tower
Great work on this video Welcome To An Experience! I sometimes ride the A train to catch the B or C trains to 81st Street-Museum Of Natural History! Or sometimes I would ride the A train to 88th Street-Boyd Avenue and walk to a Gamestop Store to find Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles for The Nintendo Wii! And sometimes I would ride the A train to the Transit Museum! And sometimes I would ride the A train to catch either the B or D train to 47th-50th streets rockefeller center and see what's happening @ Nintendo World!
Thanks for sharing and this seems to be a frequently used train. When was the last time you took it to Mott Av?
@@wtaenyc, A few years back on the weekend during my railtrip race against Michael Garcia; my old school pal, But on the R38 A train!
@@jaredjenkins4272 R38...🫡 care to share what are some of the changes you've noticed since then?
@@wtaenyc, Now we've got the R179 A Trains and now the R211 on both the A and C Trains! And of course we still have the R46 A Trains to this day!
Awesome video, I love riding NYC subway when I visit the city, but mounting a camera on a train coupler isn't a great idea, LOL
Excellent video sir… R46 looks tired and ready to be put in pasture. They are slow now. Timers ruin a lot of these express runs for no reason. Timer just before Nostrand Ave, Timer before Utica Ave., Timer on the Central Park run. Unless tracks need repair, no need for them.
Thank you for sharing and looking forward to all the improvements to come in the future, with observations like this one. 🫡♾️
Just like the first video you made.
You should do the 2/5 train to Flatbush
Very good video as always!
I will say that as soon as you hit High Street, it should be "This is a Queens bound A train/A Express Train" until 80th St. Then from there it's "This is a Far Rockaway Bound A train".
🔥🫡
Is this one of the new R211's? The propulsion sounds different!
I just read a comment that said it was an R46..?
Thank you so much for your time and effort on these videos!
The comment is correct. The former is coming soon. 🫡

I wonder if the A train is the longest run in the MTA's line? Goes from upper Manhattan all the way to Rockaways. Thanks for the video, yours have the best view.
That is correct; Thanks for your support. 🫡
W in the chat
What kind of track work is being done between 207 & Dyckman? Just regular track replacement?
💯🫡
I remember the single time I rode the A to 207....It was off peak, and the journey was creepy as hell, and the moment I needed to return, I took the 1 instead. Way more people around, way less...Errie than the northern portion of the A train.

Can you maybe make a vid on a train going to far rock away again in 2 weeks but I don't know that exact day yet but I know in 2 week for then maybe I can see myself at 125 street or 145street when am waiting cause am going to take the d train to 125 or 145 but I got on the train at station 161 street so then I transfer
How did you putted the camera on the rail without it getting run over it sounds weird
the ozone park bound is deleted and we want that back, unless you have something better

Love watching your subway videos on my big screen tv feels like I'm the motorman driving, but the garbage on tracks at certain stations is unbelievable New Yorkers need to use the trash bins instead of throwing it down onto the tracks.
Thanks for sharing and looking forward to a cleaner system in the future, especially with observations like this. 🏆🫡♾️
This is the longest line in the network I believe?

The roadbed through the Rockaway stations needs to be cleaned before the track fires start.

R-46s, not R-211s.
These speeds are disappointing, and way too many stops for express service which is probably part of the reason for the slow speeds.

Somehow someway there needs to be a way to clean up the track areas on this subway. It is a general pig stye! It always has been, nothing new about that, the city still has zero pride in itself or it's infrastructure or it's customers. Of course the population has no pride in the city in general!!
