Just in case anyone is wondering, at the end the garbage train is going into the long abandon lower level portion of the 9th ave station. The lower level use to be for the "Culver Line" that ran to McDonald Ave till 1975.
I'm a roadway worker(track equipment operator..teo) in Philadelphia for SEPTA and new Yorks MTA makes me hate working here lol. so many lines and beautiful equipment that I wish we had lol
Love this vid. Thanks. I remember when the garbage train was pulled by some yellow engine thing that tooted before it entered the station and it was in the middle of the night.
This is pickup #9 that runs on weekdays. It's the only double-ended B division refuse train. I work RDO relief on the other Four B-division Trains. The #9 train re-uses either the #5 or #6 consist; the later trains run at night, seven days.
For me its pretty unusual to see garbage being transported in metro tacks... Can anyone tell me from where to where they transporting it, and why in tracks, instead of road with common garbage trucks?
It's the stations' trash. It is easier to collect it all at the platforms with a train than to haul it all up and down stairs or elevators to the street. The garbage will be loaded in trucks where the garbage train brings it all. There also used to be a money train that picked up money from the stations.
I've been on a platform at 42nd street station at 3 am and seen the old money train come in and stop to pick up the day's receipts. I was right in front of the doors when they opened and the guard gave me the queer eye I opened my briefcase and removed and showed him my ID locomotive engineer on Conrail running commuters out of grand central and penn station. That plus he could see my employees timetable, air brake handles and other books and tools required as a locomotive engineer. I closed my case and continued to lean against the post I was supporting myself with. The local was 5 minutes behind the money train. The guard relaxed visibly when he saw my ID.
If this is the 9th av station next to 40th, st, I saw them building this station around 1964. My grandfather lived in a apt bldg right near there. I think greenwood cemetery is to the right
For some reason I think the roof of an R32 makes it look like it either has a bowl haircut or it's wearing a hat. I honestly don't know if I'm the only one who can't unsee this.
I'm aware there's an abandoned station underneath 9 Avenue, but why don't they have an (S) train that can run from there to Church Avenue (F) and (G) trains...
Extremely interesting video of this garbage train! This might be the only garbage train concept inside a subway system in the whole world? Greetings from Finland Tuukka
We used to have garbage trains that ran after hours here in Toronto up until a couple of decades ago. They were discontinued after fear of fire came too big of a concern to ignore.. (If you were catching one of the last trains on the Yonge Line you might have been lucky enough to see the old Tokyo subway cars - they were dubbed "Tokyo Rose" - stop at one end of the platform as an employee got off and tossed the bags into the open door, then get back on so it could take off before your train arrived.)
Dave Greenlaw When you say fear of fire you should also mention that one of the garbage trains burnt down in a station. And that's the probably most major reason the TTC doesn't do it anymore.
I was trying to remember about that, since there were a couple of subway car fires I heard about back as a kid. Didn't want to say there was and then have someone come in here and tell me there wasn't.
Dave Greenlaw Yeah our system isn't massive like the New York system right. So for us it just isn't worth the risk of burning a station and destroying rolling stock. Do you remember the delay back in January. The cascading failure that jammed thousands of people into Bloor Yonge station. Just imagine what kinda delays and congestion issues a garbage train fire would cause.
I decided to walk down to 36-38th Street Yard to take a look around after I went to the Greenwood Cemetery Memorial Day Concert for about an hour, however I didn't stick around at 9th Avenue very long.
When one shoots a video no matter what the subject it is the man or woman who decides when to post on TH-cam. And if is posted on a different date what does it matter? Just enjoy the video. I used to run M-2 cars on the New Haven line and they have one 35 cubic foot per minute air compressors for every two cars and my train was normally 4 cars so when I lost for whatever reason an air compressor it would take a while to pump up the brake pipe to be able to make a brake test and depart. One compressor was adequate barely. If I had as I did on one occasion one working air compressor on an 8 car train leaving Grand Central Terminal and it took 26 minutes to complete a brake test and I got the highball 4 minutes later and only had enough air to hold the brake cylinder pressure at 30 pounds or the train would have gone into emergency due to low air pressure. Once I got on the new haven line the train went into emergency due to low air pressure so I opened the door to turn on the compressor on my car and while it was leaking air from the rubber hose connected to the main resivour it increased my supply of air so I was able to run the train with plenty of compressed air. My main resivour was 130-140 pounds and was the brake pipe at the same time. Common practice on most modern electric commuter cars and high speed electric trains.
Great video. I'm from PA so I don't know this area well. Where is this station? I'm interested in checking out this track arrangement thru Google Earth. Thanks
Charles Kadyk well that's the MTA garage train and it takes garage from the train station and this is the MTA train system is all over New York City since the 70s 80s 90s this system is the busyis Train system if you want to know more information then visit the website www.MTA train systems.com
Charles Kadyk this website has the coolest info regarding train route layouts as well as actual track layouts (ie non schematic like the route maps are) Familiarize yourself with the general geography of the city and you'll understand the maps perfectly www.nycsubway.org/wiki/Main_Page
Probably used to be ice, since that's a cooler for storing cold drinks. I'm guessing that water was just the ice (now melted) and he was disposing of it.
G. Lee There was a Memorial Day General Order that had to do some replacements on the rails, so they ran on the D line but not on both sides, Coney Island bound trains use the N line and Manhattan bound use the D line.
They are the locomotives. Transit cars are not very powerful and are not designed to pull many unpowered cars. Most subway cars are also designed to run as pairs.
R32 is still active and is used on daily basis. Don't forget, NYC is the capital of the world and we have the latest and the best.............according to most people from NYC. Sadly the reality of it is small European cities have a better metro than NYC.
In 2009 I saw an old Red Car garbage train on the L line 14th st. and 1st. ave. like 2am or so. It was very very long. like 100 cars long ha. not these little 5 car things..
Forget the train, that multilevel junction is just immense :O
u got it
The foreshortening by the camera makes those turns look impossibly tight. Cool layout. Reminds me of something out of my rail dreams.
the once proud R32s now reduced to carrying the systems trash. Nice Catch as always man.
There old and rusty, but still running proud today

I didn't mean to say that the R-32s should be hauling garbage, I meant to say they should be hauled away *as* garbage.

Yup!!
One question? Did the D line ever run r32s before?

do they haul dumpsters in the motor cars? feels like it could use some more windows if they do lol

Ok
I like all those twisting tracks there :)
No negative put downs to a fine relic. Way to go R 32 cars!
My friend works at the TA complex above in sunset park.
Its so funny that I'm surprised that the R127 train wasn't used as a money train! Looks like it was from the way its configured! Nice video!
Great catch of a pair of R32 car groups into work or a garbage collection train and some R40S 40 and 42 cars should have been into that path too!

construction is taking place on the q line, so they run on the N and D line for a little while now

Why was the Q red?

+DJ Hammers where can you find Garbage trains???
+charles rios usually late nights and middays. There's usually a garbage train that runs south on the F line in Brooklyn around 6pm
Dj Hammers I can attest that to still be true. I saw a garbage train at around 5:30ish PM couple of days ago at Avenue X.
Hmm R32 9 train

Got a important question. Are the flat cars powered?
No.

Not powered. but they do have the same braking system as the R127s.
R32 9 train?

Noah Garcia cuz of construction on the brighton line so it ran on the D
Which they transfer to Norfolk Southern whom parks the trains in rural Alabama....
They should pay someone to pick up trash along the tracks.
Why does the front car look like a R62
@VERNON Its A R127,Built By Kawasaki,Along With The R62s
You find interesting trains
we used to have something like this in Toronto until a horrible fire destroyed one of the cars
the first train car reminds me of the movie money train
Why can’t a locomotive carry the trash?
i dont want them to go (the R32s)
