The J is a rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway. The J operates at all times and uses the entire BMT Archer Avenue, Jamaica, and Nassau Street lines between Jamaica Center - Parsons/Archer in Jamaica, Queens and Broad Street in Lower Manhattan (via the Williamsburg Bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan). On weekdays, trains run express in the peak direction in Brooklyn between Myrtle Avenue and Marcy Avenue, bypassing three stations.

I've ridden this train all my life. Goes through my neighborhood and brings back very fond memories of growing up. A lot of my close family and friends are gone and watching this reminds me of some of the good times and those fond memories. Thank you.
Haha, Chambers St station gets me every time
I love your videos! I get a glass of whiskey and sit back and watch. I miss the subway. I lived in NYC from 1990 to 1992 in Park Slope.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy them!
I lived in NYC from 1962 to 2019! LoL! I love the subway and your videos DJ
Adding to my other comment... This is a work of art on many levels. The videographer, silent start to finish, let the crew, passengers, train, sounds and diverse scenery & neighborhoods do the story telling. The camera was completely steady, too. The should be a NYC preserved treasure. 😊
PS: How did you mount the camera?
I agree. I loved hearing the real sounds of the clink, clack, and rhythymatic motion the train was making. I loved hearing the people in the background, it was perfect. I totally enjoyed this run. I myslef live along the "D" line in brooklyn
I work from home. Nothing better than starting the day with this type of video and sounds on the background on a big TV.
They deserve a special TH-cam reward or something. Excellent videos.
I don't know where you find the time to get around to all these stations and make all these great videos, but don't stop, I love the subway system!
The J train is where I got on 5 days a week going to school as a teenager. My stop was Flushing a in Brooklyn NY.
Thanks for the video. Brings back memories. Used to live in the Big Apple until 2 years after 9/11. Missed the hustle/bustle of the city & subway with its sounds and distinctive "smell." Left for warmer weather.
"Jamaica Center bound J train. Next stop: Fulton St. Stand clear of the closing doors"
"We are being held in the station by the train dispatcher . We shall be moving shortly."
"If you see something...say something"
"Please be sure to take all of your belongings before leaving the train. Thank you for riding with the MTA."
Man this took me back. I use to live off Van Siclen and would visit my family in Delancy all the time. I remember going towards Manhattan, right before the bridge and the Dominos factory there a huge mural dedicated to the train workers and I always thought that that was cool as hell. Sad to see they tore it down and put up condos there. Oh well.
Chambers Street looks horrifying!
From what I can gather, it is because it has gone through several changes in size and level of use. Roughly half the station is no longer in use.
Michael Richardson No the MTA let it go to pot!
But why? :(
It is.
No it lookes like a new 2022 SNL main stage
Really interesting seeing this. So used to the tube here in the uk its nice seeing another system elsewhere. Thanks for all ur uploads.
Awesome....some historic el trackage on that line
Yup!!
I can see myself at 36:17 lol I take the j every day
Dis you see his face??
I mostly take the n or d
@@defaultgamer4337 uwu tolomeo
I used to take the L And M for personal reasons but for the 3 train is special ones
Sorry who were you ?
I take this train everyday of the week and I think it’s so cool to see the train like this
Spectacular video on the front view of the J train, Mr. Hammers Trains! : )
Greetings from Alaska!
I've been lucky to have spent some time in NY, and loved it...from the grubby to the shiny, the city has earned her reputation around the world. One of the great experiences, esp for an Alaskan, is the subway. Sincere Thanks for letting me ride again. It's a true pleasure, especially given the superb work. Hat's off to you.
Quyana!
+DC McKenzie So glad you enjoyed the video! I'm happy you got to ride the trains here!
Thank you so much for doing a video on the ( J ). The ( J ) train is actually my childhood line along with the ( A ). The ( J ) brings back so many memories of when I used to ride it when I was young, and of the years I lived in NYC. :) I'm not sure which model I like on the ( J ) more though. The R42's which are the models I grew up riding on, or the R160s. Probably both. lol And I love the detailed description!
+Manhattankid10 Glad you enjoyed, thanks so much!!
No
+Dj Hammers what part of NY are you from dj hammers? Are you a native and do you have any tips for a 22 year old trying to move on to Brooklyn. Thanks, I enjoy your vids
I grew up in London England so I am used to trains with curved tops of the doors and paint on the body, seeing trains without any paint on them seems alien, especially as even when London Underground did use unpainted trains, they were matte aluminium and any way I wasn't even born then, I grew up with the Jubilee line post the 1999 extension to Stratford, East London.
R42s will be leaving probably by the end of the year. It had a good run...
Ahhhhhh memories, Just Imagine if the QJ/JJ/J still ran down to 168 St & Jamaica Av via the EL.
And those mammoth R-16s and R27/30s to boot !!!
Chambers Street...
The station of all my nightmares...
How come?
We took in the entire trip and loved it. Thanks from Vancouver, BC, Canada.
+Leigh MacKay So glad you liked the video! The J is a wonderful line!
Where does the time go? I miss the old Jamaica line, from Metropolitan Ave to 168th St. Shopping in that area during Christmas season was an event within itself. Caught the train at Gates Ave all the way and hated going back home. Awesome memorise!!!
You know I've mentioned my of a time on your video's, especially the J Train, Crescent Street Station, and Cypress Hills, on what I remember from being a kid in this area of the 1950's. Blessed Sacrament, my first school; Cypress Hills, and the Cypress Hills Pool, long gone now; Broadway Junction, get off,. take the escalator down to the Independent Line trains, back then A, E & F, were Express if I recall right; then Myrtle Avenue, to catch the Carnasie Train Line , off towards Ebbetts Field and the Brooklyn Dodgers and Coney Island, if I'm not mistaken, that line is gone too, shame. This is superbly done DJ Hammers! Without a doubt I will place this in favorites, as my all time Favorites ride on the J Train, Thank you for all you do to preserve the Video History of the NYC Transit System!. :o)
+Larry R Wendell Jr Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Dj Hammers Always enjoy your material! :o)
blessed sacrament is my church
Larry and DJ, great video and great comments. I grew up in Cypress Hills between the Crescent St and Cypress Hills St stops during the 50's and 60's. Those trains really squealed going around those curves. Rode the J to what was then Eastern Pkwy took the stairs up to Broadway Junction and got on the Canarsie line to Bedford Ave. St Francis Prep H.S. After that went down the really, really long escalator to the A train at what was then the East New York station. Took the A to 59th St switched to the D up to the Grand Concourse in the Bronx and Fordham Univ. Man this video and your video of the A really brought back the memories. Keep 'em coming. Gets you a LIKE and a Subscribe. Also used to take the J all the way to 168th St (it was ALL elevated back then) and connect to the LIRR out to eastern Long Island. Sorry for the ramble. Couldn't help myself.
I enjoy watching these videos. They bring back memories of me when I was younger, riding the Metro back when I lived in DC. I always wanted to see out the front especially in the tunnels. Its very intriguing to imagine just how much construction had to go into developing the train systems. All the miles of tunneling, bridges and track that had to be meticulously laid, as well as all the lights and wires that had to be ran and the construction of each station. Its also bizarre when the tunnels become directly straight and you can see the lights and upcoming stations in the distance, but you cant quite tell how far away they are.
On 11:25, it looks realy cool how the train is riding on ground level with the cars!!!
I Like The R160 J Train It Is My Favorite Train Ever!
If you're ever out on the Myrtle Avenue Line in the near future, see if you can film a short trip on the M train going to Middle Village-Metropolitan Avenue.
Thanks for the subway train ride! There aren't any where I live so I will never get to ride one. Wish I could once.
I use to ride that train when I use to stay out there in the early 80’s😂
Nice hearing sounds smooth. Thanks for sharing
I travelled this route for five years it is very beautiful in the daylight
I miss it though
I'm a subway operator in philly I thought they was gonna have a signal violation the way they was rolling lol
I'm retired conductor from metro north. Normally senior motor man who knows the routes, know the signals.
Great video. Still I saw this first at 2am in the morning and it reminded me of Dead Space
Very interesting. Great viewing bfor me being a rail enthusiast
Back than it was known as the QJ then the longest subway line It ran from Coney island to the old 168 street in Jamaica in the sixties I still remember that line
Absolutely fantastic....
I love this channel. I appreciate you, look into metro north
Subbed, love your videos! Dj have you played the world of subways games for pc? I just bought volume 4, the 7 flushing line. I love it and play it alot. Its a 7 train simulator taking place in the late 70s early 80s, it fun to play.
I grew up a block away from the J (Jamaica Line). The best part is crossing over the Williamsburg Bridge.
This is awesome!
Thanks!!
You forgot to mention that the J train operates on a skip-stop service basis with the Z train during weekday rush hour periods in the peak direction.
I've never taken the subway over the Williamsburg Bridge. I've gone over the Manhattan Bridge many times.
lol @ 6:06 the conductor was getting mad. I've heard them get livid and swear at people before, I wish I had a video.
They do that sometimes here, too (Buffalo)--if people are blocking the door or there is too much ruckus, the operator straight-up won't move the train or will call the transit police.
I heard one conductor almost do it.people were blocking the doors and he said stand clear of the fucking closing doors.he almost said fucking but caught himself so it was a pause there.lol
ahaha same. "STOP BLOCKING THE DOORS! THERE'S ANOTHER TRAIN BEHIND YOU! COME ON!!"
@@smilingearth5181 im from Buffalo
Love subway trains
I can hear one of those guys that sell stuff on the J train at 36:58. I've seen some before!
I live at van siclen keep up the good work man🥰
Love your videos I know its time consuming is it possible to get a video of every line in the Subway system
Thanks!!!!
The intro song 🔥🔥
the thing about NY is there are so many lines...you can find adventure in the outer boroughs on each line...it could take years...
saw my self at Broadway Junction
Cool.
U aint diddit!
Stop lying U DumbAss
@@luismaria5629 *tries to insult someone 3 years later* lol
48:01 Those exits are STILL closed! They were back in my H.S. Days.
Great way to see NY. For me anyway. I'll never get there. Very interesting
I'm geeking the Fuk out! My High School line! Richmond Hill. 111th street! 47:49. Excuse me, i need a tissue. Back then i think 121st street was the last stop.
Great video DJ 👍🏿⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
+daniel brown Thanks!!
Never thought I'd see Chambers Street with the abandoned platform on the right
Very Nice!
Well done ! especially after 12:30, the view through the bridge is great filming !
I regret though there are no subtitles with names of stations, after some of them, we are lost !
About the bridge, the platform above the rails first, which is after split both sides of the tracks, are only pedestrian foot bridges, or also for bicycles, or ment for an emergency access or egress from trains ?
They’re for people on the left side and bikes on the right side. Then it becomes a shared path in Manhattan
Hey, is it possible that you can do Staten Island railroad? I just moved here and I live far from it but kinda wanna see where it goes through :) also we have container trains from NJ coming here!
Southbound B and C Trains are running with delays in 116th Street today
Nice job
The Broad El trains have not used 32's since I had ridden them.
This is amazing! Wonder and love from India :)
+Rohini Kejriwal Thank you so much! Be sure to share the video!
J 4and A are the best lines
For picturesque views IMO
Now I feel like watching The Warriors
Growing up in Brooklyn in the 50’s the “j” train was known as the Jamaica El
That went to 168th Street.
Alabama Street got some nice Yard.
They need extra lights down here Dj Hammer
I'm guessing you filmed both trips on the off-peak J express separately.
Hi there,watching from the UK,really fascinating videos,one question,what are all the bright very vivid blue lights for,cheers
Just seen a previous post,👍
I always recognise junction blvd
J and Z pretty much has all the old stuff, old stations, old trains, and old elevated line. Pretty interesting...
45:15 my old hood :D
...
...
...
What train model is this because it looks like an R42 and J/Z trains are only R42s and R160s
I don't know if this is the only thing missing is the way you can get a better picture than the one that you have
47:11 To the left. The Richmond Hill H.S. Annex for 9th graders. Lot's of race fights there! Memories! Was scary AF, because it wasn't the students, but white dudes from the nabe.
Cool
Excellent work Dj! I have one question, when will the R32's and the R42's retire? I've heard a lot of rumors that they are retiring in 2022 because of the R179 order delay.
+ProStealthSniper Productions The R32s will continue to run after the R179s arrive for increased revenue service requirements for Second Avenue Subway and the rebuilding of the L train tunnel.
great pictures but it needs some text to id the stations.
Great video dj, you must love the j line, for it is easier to record out of a r32 and or a r42 then the new tech trains.
( wow my English is on fleeq)
+Casual Android Yup! Considerable passenger compartment space is taken up by the full width cabs on the newer trains.
On the vid i found de prison bus at 11:33 left
Oh yea 🤣
Those graffiti artist are pretty crafty.
Being on the J train when I was a kid in the 90’s was my own get away from all that was crime and drugs that was underneath.
You should do a point of view on the A line pls.
Alex The railfan There are two on TH-cam...Starting from Far Rockaway (Mott Ave)...Enjoy.
Oh so you were the gentlemen that record with a go pro while I operated?
U AINT NO OPERATOR
Was this R32 or R42? The front interior are not that different.
51:04 back inside
Kind of interesting to see how disgustingly littered the track becomes around 28:53 at the Broadway Junction station. I guess the people in that area don't mind littering.
That's considered clean.
As a kid in the 1940s-50s we used to call that station "Broadway Junk-pile".
What is the purpose of those blue lights along the tracks?
Iamwatchingyou75 Those are the locations of “wayside” telephones.
can you do my line the (L) or (C) trains
+Dj Hammers When and why did the MTA remove the switch at Delancey-Essex between the southbound and center tracks?
+hobo753 The MTA is fully rebuilding the switches in that area. I have a video explaining what they're doing coming soon.
Coolio, can't wait to watch that!
They should make more trains start overground
at myrtle Broadway the r143 J
Do the E and F train! this two lane is my lines!
I'd like to do that some day. Unfortunately, the E and F lines don't have trains with front windows that passengers can look out of.
+Dj Hammers thought that the E & F train are the same type as 7 train lol, so which lane's train has the window that u can film? :) (I know R train has it, but some of it are blurry)
I take the (Q) train because I live in kings highway. Were do you live in?
What's the song from the beginning?
When did you take it
I'm curious, how do you know the proper way to respond to the different yellow lights? Like at 07:27, it changed from what looks like a red + blue to a green. Is it just knowing the line or is there a method to the madness?
+JesterHead That signal you're talking about is called a "Timer" signal. It is on a timer so that it will turn from red to green before you pass it if you are moving at a safe speed. If the train is going too fast, it will pass the signal while it is still red, triggering the emergency brakes. The "lunar white" light that is on when the signal is red indicates the timing circuit is active.
+Dj Hammers I see, makes sense. Great videos, they're oddly soothing to watch!
+JesterHead Thanks!!! :D
JesterHead nbv
When you are training to be a train operator, you get a book or sheet or some kind of a a document that shows EVERY sign and signal you'll see, what the meaning of each is and what you have to do as a train operator to comply. You've got to know everyone by heart and be able to pass a test before you're allowed to operate a train.
This is nice, mta copied CTA (Chicago) creating these videos. Cool can see lots of cities virtually this way via video.less too see for underground aspects. Used to take J or E years ago to Queens
These videos are not made by the MTA. They are made by the individual who runs this TH-cam channel.

19:56 Those R38’s are still in service? Wow.
This was uploaded 6 years ago..
That's a R32
@@nah_144 I keep mixing them up. But yes
I still wonder where the rest of the tracks lead to when the train arrives at the last stop of the station. I noticed that once it arrives at the last stop, there's still tracks to continue on.wonder where it leads to
Christopher Trujillo It leads to a storage area further into the station at Parsons.
Christopher Trujillo It’s a layup area. The two tracks were supposed to go further east towards Hollis.
I do live in nyc too
