[🛑LAST STOP🛑]
Think about all the work it took to build all these facilities - the planning, the financing, the construction and finally the maintenance. Really an unbelievable achievement when you think about it. And the system has been working, in some places, for well over a century!
NYC streets in the early 20th century must have been an ongoing mess with all the constant subway construction. Good thing there weren’t as many cars back then!
This is why we appreciate it so much. This is why we explore and study it.
Definitely enjoy these awesome videos! The amazing complexity and infrastructure of the NYC subway always fascinates me, even to this day. Since its opening in 1904 with the IRT, then later the BRT/BMT and finally the IND system, despite the issues it faced, and continues to face, it still remains the most efficient way to move vast numbers of people around the city. And I'm saying that as an old guy and a native New Yorker, born and raised. A NYC subway fan through and through!! Thanks to the NYC Transit employees for keeping the system running!! NYC wouldn't be the great city it is without its subway system. Thanks for these amazing videos! Keep them coming.
The newest section of the entire route is the portion from the Manhattan Bridge through Grand Street and connecting to the IND system at Broadway-Lafayette. That is the Chrystie Street Connection, opened in 1967. The route from Broadway-Lafayette to the 145th Street terminal is original IND trackage from 1932. The Brighton line itself (the open portion starting at Prospect Park) dates to the 1800’s, when it was a steam-powered excursion line. Indeed, the tunnel from 7th Avenue to Prospect Park was nearing completion when the Malbone Street Wreck occurred in 1918. You can see an out of service Franklin Avenue shuttle train on the local track in this video as the camera train enters Prospect Park station. That train must have entered the station through the death tunnel.
What maintenance? 😄
Starting at 42:39, that stretch from Newkirk to Kings Hway gets a bit difficult on a rainy, fall day. Wet leaves on the rails are as slippery as ice. Stopping can be a challenge.
Shoutout to you and all your fellow colleagues that are able to still get it done despite the understandable challenge. Thank you as well, for your service to NYC. Your work doesn’t go unnoticed.
Ah, yes! I watched the A train video yesterday, and now just finished the B Brighton Line! Just plain fun! Keep it up for this dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker who grew up since the 1950s riding the subway, and becoming a major fan. I followed the trip, using my 2022 copy of "The Tracks of the New York City Subway", following every switch, crossover and other trackwork along the way!! Love how clear and crisp your videos are, and while watching, you simply have to TURN THE VOLUME UP to capture the sound and the real feel of riding the train! Keep up the great work and look forward to more!! My home subway line is the 6, Pelham Bay Line!
Thank you so much. How are we doing so far?
@@wtaenyc You are doing a FABULOUS job with these upfront videos!! I love seeing the trackwork and signalling. These videos for me are like it was for me riding in the first car, looking out the front window!! Keep up the great work!
Man I love this. It reminds me of the days when I was a kid looking out the front window. The low angle of the camera gives it an even better view.
Thank you so much for sharing. We hope you’re able to like the other videos as well
I love the sounds of the Train running on the ground verses elevated.
That is a fair preference.
I REMEMBER WHEN I OPERATED THE "AA" TRAIN FROM 168STREET TERMINAL TO HUDSON TERMINAL
I BELIEVE YOU KNOW IT TODAY AS THE WORLD TRADE CENTER STOP. BUT THAT WAS IN 1968.
SIGNED "OLD MOTORMAN"
PS: THEY WERE R32 CARS. THE ABSOLUTE BEST, AND I OPERATED ALL CARS IN THE MUSEUM EXCEPT THE GATE CARS , BUT THE "Q" CARS WERE MODIFIED GATE CARS ON THE MYRTLE LINE WHEN IT RAN ELEVATED TO JAY STREET.
Thank you so much for your service to NYC. We owe you our gratitude.
Ever since I moved from NYC to a small town in South Carolina two years ago I've gotten a little home sick, whenever I start feeling a little home sick I start watching these videos which is a great cure for it.
It’s an honor to be able to help you cure your “home sickness.” We know it will never be the same but we appreciate you choosing us and we’re happy to be able to do this for you. Stay safe and blessings to you and your family.
QUALITY CAMERA WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a fine EXPERIENCE INDEED since i do not ride the "B" train that often !!!!!!!!!!!!!
IIRC, this is the train that took Mom and I to my grandmother's 17th floor apartment on CPW many moons ago. Years later we rode the M10 Bus there due to Mom's inability to climb stairs. Thank you for reviving such a wonderful point of my life - I'm enjoying ALL your content and here's a MAJOR shout to the architects who designed this masterpiece, and the employees who keep it running. Much respect due.
We second you in giving respect to the designers and the current employees, who continue to do what it takes to keep this city moving.
It is also an honor to know that our content can bring you back to those memories you shared about you and your Mom’s trips to and from your grandmother’s apartment. Sending positive blessings to you, your mom, grand mom and the entire family; thank you again. 🫡🫡
Its amazing on how when we were passing Manhattan Bridge it was still 'normal' sunny, (i dunno how else to put it) but when we got to the next Elevated area it became Sunset. Thank you WTAE
Great observation and we appreciate you for sharing. That is quite interesting for certain and the pleasure is ours. We'll match the thanks and also send it to the entire NYCT system and its employees as their service is appreciated.
Bad editing
Well done. Don’t know how you were able to get a track-level view, but it’s awesome! It’s better than the motorman’s perspective IMO. The stops were also smoothly edited out. Great job.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. We hope we continue to earn it.
@@wtaenyc how do you get that track level view? (if you dont mind answering)
Thanks for taking so much time to do this ❤️.
We appreciate you and your support
Love this!! I’m a NYC Subway Enthusiast and these videos are priceless! Also, don’t give away your secrets to making these videos! I’m a film maker myself and I get questions too so keep this up. The only TH-camr out there doing this sick stuff!
Thank you so much for this wonderful message. How are we doing so far? Please feel free to connect with us on IG as we love working with other fellow artist like yourself. Sorry that our last comment got erased but again, thank you for your support and we hope to continue earning it.
@@wtaenyc I’m doing well brother! Thanks for asking! Don’t you worry about the erased comment, I will definitely check out the instagram page and continue supporting! Keep it up!
Absolutely Spectacular!! Loved every minute from a native New Yorker! Keep up the good work.
We appreciate you for your kind words and it is truly an honor to bring you back a taste of your native city. Sending positive blessings to you and your family.
B for Beautiful, what a great video. You guy's are awesome.
Thats was awesome! The view was incredible and posting the stops was a stroke of genius
We appreciate your support. It truly means a lot.
This ride was another fantastic trip, from the front of an R-68. They may not have the classic charm of an R-42 or the retired R-32, but they do make for a pretty good ride from 145 Street to Brighton Beach. The long tunnel stretches, crossing the Manhattan Bridge, and then the open spot thru Brooklyn, it was a good ride from start to finish.
It's an honor that, despite not being one of the classics you mentioned, you are still able to appreciate the experience and it didn't disappoint. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and I Iove the angle. I always liked the run from Newkirk Plaza to Kings Highway. I remember, years ago when this was the D line, watching a R-32 come flying into Kings Highway. as I was waiting for the M local. Not sure how fast they go on this stretch but that train was definitely moving!
Thank you so much for sharing this. How did you like the D train video? Not the R32 so no "flying" like before but we're interested in hearing your feedback.

Thank you for sharing this with us.
A+ Thank you for taking me on a ride I have not made since the early '80s. (Of course back then it was the D train as opposed to the B.)
Did you get a chance to see the new D line?
@@wtaenyc Oh, yes. Another A+ ride
It's nice to see that you can still take an express train to Coney Island! The southern part of the Brighton Line, running on elevated ground rather than a trestle, reminds me more of a suburban commuter line than a rapid transit line. And it's nice to still see R46 cars plying their trade, 30 years after I left NY!
The R46 is still running strong in the system. It is now officially the classic train of the system as the R32 was recently retired. We are happy you were able to enjoy the ride and we appreciate you for sharing.
This train is an r68
Once again another banger!! These are sick, this system is super complex under them streets.,
Thanks for sharing. How are we doing so far?
Great job, brother. I used to ride the Brighton Express from Dekalb Avenue to Kings Highway on the D train on my way home from school.
Thank you so much for sharing. We’d love to know how’d it feel seeing this video and remembering those memories.
@@wtaenyc It was like riding in a time machine going back to 1978.
So wild seeing the B running this route now, when I lived there back in '86 it ran down New Utrecht
What a history lesson. We wonder what else has changed since those days back in 86’?
Wow! What an amazing view! Well done 👏
We appreciate you
Really enjoyed this video.
Thanks for sharing. It's an honor.
Nice to see when approaching Brighton Beach the Ham operator antenna still there
Great observation
I'm a tram and I approve this video ding ding! :)
We appreciate your support. (“Chhhhhh” - brakes releasing)
30:25 A million dollar view !! The D train tunnel on the left is an original 1915 BMT (or was it BRT ?) tunnel for the Manhattan Bridge, but the tunnel span on the right that spans three tracks (B and Q above, and N down in the underpass) had to come from the 1950's grade separation of the flat junction. I have a continuing project to work out how the grade separation was accomplished; I was not in New York City in the 1950's. My body was born in London, England in 1956. I want to know how they accomplished this feat stage by stage. Some day, I will have to go to the NYCTA directly to do research. I still have not seen an original flat junction track diagram pre 1950's. Aarre Peltomaa
Thanks for sharing. We would love to be able to bring this experience to you from your birth city. It would truly be an honor and we hope that you are able to get a sit down with someone from NYCT or they have this information in the museum, using our videos to help give more knowledge/history.
Based on en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn%E2%80%93Manhattan_Transit_Corporation#/media/File%3A1914_BRT_proposed_map.jpg it appears that the express tracks north of Dekalb used the north tracks of the Manhattan bridge. While the local tracks went south, looping back into Brooklyn through the Montague tunnels. There was no reason for the BRT/BMT to facilitate a complex IND like interchange.
30:26 That wall on the right must have been where the southbound Myrtle Ave station platform was; this lines up with the existing northbound platform out of view to our left. The platform must have been right were the Q track is now that we will just join momentarily. The N train underpass leading to the green light would have been were it's southbound local platform track was. Am I correct? Come on old timers; SPEAK OUT ! You know what happened; you were there.
You saw it ! This must have all been open to street view when they were constructing it, like an 'open heart surgery'. Aarre Peltomaa
Thanks for sharing. We hope some others can join you in assisting you with your challenge. Thank you for choosing our channel to express your thoughts.
If you freeze it at 32:46 and look to your left.. The interlocking track was used by the QJ line. Nassau Street LCL... That at one point in the 1960's and 1970's would use the interlocking track to go to Coney Island
Sheepshead bay is my home station,these videos are awesome
I remember it being the D and the M train...then it was the D and the Q...now it's the B and the Q
My old station also.
Thank you for sharing that history lesson and it’s a pleasure to bring you to your home station. We hope to continue earning your support
You have the best railfan videos I've watched on TH-cam. I'm looking forward to watching a railfan video of a train that travels to Coney Island Stillwell Avenue. I can imagine how much fun that video will be. Especially with all the rides at nearby Astroland Park.
Thank you so much for your kind and amazing words. Did you happen to catch both the F and the D videos that finished off in Coney Island?
@@wtaenyc Yes I did. I enjoyed them so much. Especially the video of the F train traveling from 179th Street to Coney Island Stillwell Avenue. That particular video brought back childhood memories of me catching the F train at the 169th Street Station to head back home to NJ after visiting my cousins who lived in Hollis, Queens near Hillside Avenue. From their home I was able to see LIRR trains passing by.
@@strongmanish Wow. That is truly amazing. We are happy that you were able to have those memories while watching the video; it seems surreal. Thanks for your support and we appreciate you for sharing.
I went to sheepshead bay and I love it!❤
Thanks for sharing. It’s great to know that you like the area, which is well known in the borough. How did you like seeing the station from his view?
It will be sad once the R68 is retired to me it marks the span of an entire generation. I still remember this line being used by the D-train to Coney Island.
Definitely will be sad for sure. We will definitely start appreciating them a little more now, as they are still here for what could be a short time.
Badass Brighton. Godly R68s
What's your favorite train?
@@wtaenyc (2)(5)(A)(B) Trains
B train extension, from, Bedford Pk Blvd.

Buh - Bye!
Best NYC subway videos by far, please do more lines ,7 and J trains would be great
Thank you so much. How did you like the two lines you were looking forward to seeing?
I love all the elevated track lines
fascinating to think there additionally being only Philadelphia that complements its underground local tracks with express ones -- Chinese commuters supposedly grumble about absence of express service in their many subway systems
Thanks for sharing this. It will be interesting to experience the China subway despite the lack of express and we manifest the express service one day.
I can agree with those comments as well great work with low camera angle to capture what we don’t see when we are inside the cab seeing the front view it doesn’t give a clear picture but this angle captures everything like the incline and decline which I never new so many were there looks like a roller coaster. A lot of intersections that looks interesting as well. So can’t wait for more uploads in the future. Good job MTA employees you work hard we admire u. I already subscribe to your channel cheers for more
🫡🫡🫡
It feels like that the B train was traveling about 50-60 mph along the Brighton express line the way it was speeding past stations. I thought we would pass a couple of Q trains or race alongside a Q train I waiting for that moment.
That would have been awesome for certain.
36:52 I've always mentioned that ears pop at this point, like in airplane. And now we know why. Before the tunnel was of rectangular cross-section - now of circular. Since I traveled many trains, including EuroStar - it happes when you enter the tunnel from outside.
Great observation.
Excellent video! lower camera angle enhances the sensation of speed! it's a good viewing relaxation.
Thank you so much.
Eagerly awaiting the D line!
How’d you like it?
love your vides keep them coming :)
We appreciate your support.
Love this Channel
Thank you so much. How are we doing so far?
I love all your videos but they would be better if you don't cut the scenes when the subway trains are stopped at the stations. It's a suggestion, i'm your fan, hugs from Portugal
Thank you so much for this suggestion, it is one that we noticed many fans, like yourself, actually prefer and so we will make the necessary improvements moving forward. Thanks again and we appreciate you for sharing and for supporting 💯🫡
@@wtaenyc You're welcome, i'm a huge NYC subway trains fan and your channel is the best, that's why I gave that suggestion. Your videos are interesting and they make me think i'm really driving the trains. Don't cut that scenes when they're stopped, that turns the things more realistic. Cheers from Portugal
I have 2 requests, if possible.
1. Do the B going the other way up to Bedford Park Blvd.
2. If you ever catch a northbound F going over the G line to 179th Street, that would legendary.
Thank you, from a loyal fan.
Thank you so much for your continued support and for these wonderful suggestions. We appreciate every suggestion made and know that it is one that we will consider as we continue to showcase different experiences. Maximum respect as always and we look forward to continue earning your support. 🫡
@@wtaenyc This is an obvious labor of love on your part. Thank you, my friend.
For those wondering why all B trains short-turn at Brighton Beach instead of continue all the way to Coney Island, the local and express tracks merge into each other right after Ocean Parkway so the B would have to merge with the Q and vice versa. It may not seem like a bad idea, until you realize the frequencies of both lines combined would be too many trains to turn around at Coney Island in time. Also, Ocean Parkway has no crossovers, so Brighton Beach acts as the usual terminus instead.
Thank you so much for sharing with the community 🫡
And why do the tracks merge? Originally, the upper level of West Eighth St was served by express trains and the lower level by local trains and each set of tracks ended at Coney Island which is evident by the empty trackways between Ocean Pkwy’s local trackways and West Eighth St’s lower level. The Culver Line originally ended at Ave X but when it was extended to Coney Island, they had to take over West Eighth St’s lower level, which is, or rather was the Brighton Line’s local tracks, to open a path for the Culver Line to extend to Coney Island and the Brighton Line was left with only its express tracks on that section. As a result, the local tracks were merged into what was originally just the express tracks and are now both sets of tracks fused from that point. And, again, due to high frequencies, local and express trains don’t merge as they’re now supposed to as there’s no room for them to turn around. Yes, they do share tracks from DeKalb Ave to Prospect Park but they don’t turn around on that section so there’s enough room to share.
My son was born during a blizzard I had flashback to movie French connection I told husband to drive on new Utrecht avenue under th b train we arrived to hospital ontime
What a story. Thank you for sharing. We’re so happy that you and your family made it safely to the hospital that day. Can’t wait for them to hear this story and we’re honored that our video can bring you back those memories.
Nice what train is that from the Manhattan bridge not the B train the r46 is this the r46 N or Q?
Hard to tell from this angle; great observation either way. 🫡
Nice video love all of them.. Are you doing the D or R train too?
Thank you so much and yea. We can’t wait for you to experience them.
SHIRLEY: THE MYSTERY OF 50ST TO 42ND ST IS THE "F" TRAIN TUNNEL GOES OVER AND THE "D" TRAIN GOES UNDER. THE TUNNELS SWITCH SIDES. THAT'S WHAT I REMEMBER FROM 1968 ON THE "D" TRAIN.
FOR A MOMENT, I THOUGHT IT WAS 1968 & I WAS A 24 YEAR OLD
MOTORMAN. I COULD BE WRONG. YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK A NEWER TRAIN OPERATOR.
SIGNED: "USED TO BE YOUNG".
Thank you so much for your service to NYC. Your memories have not failed you as it is still the same. Thank you for sharing and sending you positive blessings.
Great video..
We appreciate your support.
@@wtaenyc of course...
Nice!
We appreciate you.
Most of the times I take the subway, I always take the B train from Kings Highway to Grand Street
Thanks for sharing. How did you enjoy this experience?
@@wtaenyc good
That’s is perfect
We appreciate you.
I felt like I was watching the STargate scene from "2001" during some of those tunnel stretches. Where was the camera mounted to shoot this? - definitely outside the train & very close to the tracks. (I've never seen under a subway platform before.)
It's an honor to be compared to such a classic show. How have we been doing so far?
@@wtaenyc You've been doing fine! I particularly like this video because you pass by the Parkside Avenue station at 41:15 and the Newkirk Avenue station at 42:13 - both near where I lived in the 70's & used constantly back in the day. MAJOR mistake in your description though - last Manhattan stop on the train is GRAND, not Canal Street. (Graphic in the video has it right though.) Question: do you remember when this was shot? some of the sunlight on the buildings once you've surfaced in Brooklyn looks like it might be a late winter afternoon.
1:50 135 Street (B,C)

Nice video. Which train are you doing next?
How are we doing so far?
One question, what day did they increase the ticket from $2.75 to $2.90? Thank you.
a.D. 21.VIII.2023 🫡
Could you do one of the F train sometime...?
How do you like the F train video?
0:28 if we kept going straight, where do those tracks go to
Great question. Those tracks would then take you down the express track of CPW.
It's hard to see so bright in the tunnel.
Great observation. Thanks for sharing 💯🫡
48:36 - looks like my home station (Q) 49:43 - (B)
How’d you like experiencing it from this angle?
Is it possible you can do that with the (4) train? It will really help me.
@@wtaenyc I can't find any videos of the front view of the train for the (4) line. And I'm working on a project in roblox studios and I'm planning to make it from Woodlawn to 149 St Grand Concourse. I already got all the things I need to build stuff. I just need the video footage to make this project more accurate. Just asking if you can do that for me when you have spare time.
Did the 4 train video you requested live up to your expectations? Is it good enough for your project? Shoutout to you for doing it and we hope it’s all successful.
How about doing these runs in the opposite direction 🤔 🙂
We will release the other direction once we have finished posting each line.
