Recorded 7/12/14 - July 12, 2014
W4 to W34: that moment when you realize your kid is louder than a speeding vintage subway train. And no, that's not a good thing.
R68B Don't exist there is only R68A and R68
@@R68GTrain Ah who cares?
Having small kids who really don't care if they are on a bus, a truck, or a dinosaur yelling and talking non stop took away from the experience that would have otherwise been very enjoyable to a real rail fan
They are riding in a dinosaur...
No, actually, it is their PARENTS who DON'T CARE that their children are acting and speaking (and whining, crying and screeching) in a manner that could negatively affect someone else's life. To those PARENTS, 'OUR children can do NO WRONG' - and "F**K anyone who thinks otherwise". The best part is, however, that whenever LIFE starts EDUCATING these children that their behavior is NOT acceptable in public, the FIRST thing these "PARENTS" will do is take the attitude 'WHY are you treating MY CHILDREN like this?" Well, if they are YOUR CHILDREN, then they are YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to RAISE CORRECTLY within the agreed-upon/established norms of our society.
LOOKS GOOD. BEDFORD PARK BLVD IS MY OLD STATION WHEN I LIVED THERE.
We were express this was better than the 2013 Railfanning trip but nothing can beat the 2007 Railfanning trip
Love how he opened her up and let her run free on the Brighton express tracks!
CPW too!
Without seeing the train its just another ride in the subway! Although it sounds nice.
Bedford Park Blvd is my old home station where i lived. now live on katonah ave. i now get off at 205th st and grab da Bronx 34 bus.
I miss the whine of the motors and rattling of the cars. Memories.
So, Mr. Railfan is riding the old Vintage subway. Of course, I thought he was riding the MTA Subway train that has a letter or a number in it! : )
Camera use and overuse of zoom and panning made this unbearable to watch. How sad.
I know it was a uncomfortable viewing
that's what I called: super express.
Of course, it would always get delayed with the existing service.
Thank you for the video, I hope you had a great experience!
Suggestions to improve: at the beginning, include a snapshot (or a few) of the train itself so we viewers can appreciate what we are riding in, otherwise it just looks like any other cab view ride. Also definitely try to stabilize the camera against the window, someone watching this can get sea sick!
OMG, I made it through 16 mins of this video and I'm done with these kids, see ya!
after 12 minutes i was ready to slap them....
Sound too smart for their ages ....Brooklynite jewish
That's about 3 minutes longer than I made it. This was rough.
Play it fast sounds funny
Great video!!!!!!!
This city is endless...
I wish trains were still aloud to speed like in the old days
I was there on July 12 2014 :D
Nice video. "Great dispatching!" lolz
Great video,External shot of train is a must,ID of station names would make it par excellence.thxs.
wow that r1 can haul!!
Yes, and R10s were jet propelled!!!!
Always interesting to see the R1-9 in Superman TV shows as the Metropolis "Valley Express."
One can see AA road number displayed (former 8th Ave. Local)
I never knew that there was once a train that skipped the express stops in Brighton beach.
This ride would have been better if the flat wheels were repaired
Excellent! \m/
When there is MTA events kids can be annoying it just ruins the fun when. There are kids MTA events should be 12 or older to enter in the event
26:25 Is that the Myrtle Avenue station?
I think those trains were still in service in the 1960s.
riding them til '77
Where's the ditch lights so that we can see the illuminated track properly ?? Aarre Peltomaa
Nice Video and Ride.mmmmmmmm
IND equipment on BMT lines
Cool ride, but kinda a bummer we don't have a look around the R1 itself.
they should of had the R7A there too
26:25
Myrtle Ave (no longer used + graphic)
The person holding the camera was a little tipsy.

Question!
These kids must be looking out the bulkhead window. How did you film this with them in the way????
9:07 my school is there
28:10 - Crossing the Etika Bridge via R1 subway car.
At 1:10, Breezy Point Rockaway, at 2 o'clock.
I'm new to.this..is this just a special trip.for tourist or something? Title says fan trip..they clear the whole track.so train could fly through without stopping???
A few times a year, the NYC Transit Museum runs “excursion trains”/“nostalgia rides”/“fan rides.” These are extended trips on an existing line using a vintage train. They sell out fast. Special rates apply for museum members.
An otherwise fabulous video is essentially ruined (the audio really) up until about 41:28 - about half the run time. There, at 42nd Street, at long last, those miserable kids who could have used a good smack way back at Sheepshead Bay (I also fault the parents) finally get the f**k off the train.
Actually, the parents need to be smacked!!!
Wow... thanks for letting us know where to skip to!
Why does this look like its from a Drunk mans POV ?
Ride and relax!
"Driver"? NO. At least not in the US. In the past--Motorman. Today--Train Operator. I remember the R-1-R-9 cars well. Built in the US by American Car and Foundry Co., and Pressed Steel Car Manufacturing Co. Both companies long out of business. Others no longer in business: Pullman Standard Car Manufacturng Co., St. Louis Car Co., Budd Co. No American company now in the subway and rail car manufacturing business.
I think there is a company in Hornell, NY that still makes subway cars.
This train didn't go all the way to 205th?
Does "RFW" stand for "Right Front Window" perchance?
Railfan window
Couldn't enjoy the video, camera man was zooming in and out to the point I was dizzy 🙄
They should clean the graffitti and the track area on the Brighton Line... It would be breathtaking
Yo love it. .R1s.
The kids was talking to much. But the run was good. The parents should of kept it in check.
Why this section is not 80 mph
what happened to 36nin
Damn those kids are annoying lol
I am sure that this Operator was speeding to get those kids off of that train. I understand that they're excited, but the parent(s) should've told them to be quiet. Just saying...
No, just saying ...you are 1000% Correct!!!
Is this thing everyday
Sadly, it doesn't seem like a daily ride.
There's no subway that goes almost non-stop from Coney Island to Bedford Park.
I wish there was...
Couldnt really enjoy the trip, camra was not steady
This vid is the Warriors movie in reverse...Warriors...come out and play😭😭😭
Crapy video camera was so annoying zooming in and out.
masterdeeable11 I totally agree
Dude dang hold the camera straight for shit smh
If I remember, there was a good 4 people ahead of me and I had the camera to the window with an outstretched hand, was a bit difficult to hold perfectly still.
