That’s pretty awesome I’m the kind who would b fascinated watching this stuff n am That lil gap is why I listen when they say don’t go between moving trains lol
It is very awesome to see this in action rather than inside the train yards. They really put in hard work to combine these subway cars into a full-length 8 or 10 car train. Passengers are only allowed to travel in between cars in an emergency. If they are caught, they will be summoned
2 Train Productions Thankx so much! This is my very first time catchin' this in action. This is an ev'ry day occurrence at 5AM so I was lucky to see this up close
The every 20 minute late night frequency is not enough to adequately serve both terminals, so they send trains to Far Rockaway only. For the shuttle, I believe they take two regular A train sets and break them up into four sets of 4 cars. However, I believe they only use three of them. For a while, they sent trains to Leffert's Blvd only at night, but later realized that it was better to use Far Rockaway so that people on the south side of the Rockaway Peninsula didn't have to transfer twice.
Collin Parsons honestly, they should make the C extend past Euclid and serve lefferts while the A serves the rockaways. Idk, too me that makes more sense
At one time there used to be a "round robin" shuttle that served both Rockaway Park and Far Rockaway using the south leg of Hammels Wye which is no longer used by any regular service. At other times there was a service which ran to Broad Channel where the train was split and one half ran to Rockaway Park and the other ran to Far Rockaway. When the trains returned to Broad Channel in the other direction they were rejoined which must have been an adventure using the Arnines whose couplers weren't always reliable.
There have been many changes to the service patterns on the Rockaway IND trains since service began in 1956. At one time there was a late night round robin shuttle which served the entire Rockaway peninsula. It seems like the current operation provides the best service possible. The A train route is the longest in terms of mileage (32.39) on the entire subway system.
2:40 those cross barriers were added later because stupid people used to jump in the middle notice how it looks like it was welded later on. I never seen a train being connected at a regular station usually by the train yard. Iam glad the lefferts station wasn't demolished like the J train at 168th St and Jamaica Ave. I took the A train just to see how's it's been looking all of these years. My aunt used to live nearby that was in the 70s.

Those are barrier springs. Heavy cables that keep customers standing in station platforms from falling in between cars while the train is berthed in the station. They are not flexible coupling rods,
BLETransit-Régginator Inc. oh, I thought it was to prevent people from falling out of the train in case of an emergency when people need to move out of a car.
The 3 big chains that are being connected are called barrier springs. They are heavy and thick and are there to keep customers standing on the station platforms from falling in between the cars when a train is in a station
Between 11PM and 5:30AM, the Lefferts Boulevard shuttle is in effect while all A trains run to Far Rockaway. As you just watched the R46s are joined together to become a full length 8-car train while changin' the roll signs from (S)am to (A)pple
Very interesting. I've never seen them couple up before.
Thanks for watchin', this is my only chance to catch in action 😊👍🏾
Same
@@BLETransitYTSubway trains couple up to each other very so often.
The hum of the HVAC system on those are satisfiing
I thought it was the air compressor? I love that sound too
I agree
Hvac and ac power are different things. The AC in HVAC refers to Air Conditioning, and the AC in ac power refers to Alternating Current.
And that kids is where baby subway trains come from.
Hockey Patriot lol
Hockey Patriot Lol spot on! 👍
Hockey Patriot eww
Are you saying that coupling means s... Is?
And we wouldn't even be fitting in the baby subways they are made not,you know what your right

It's cool when the trains couple, the head lights automatically turn off.
David Maine It's an awesome sight to see
Agreed. Anyway, thanks for these subway videos.
David Maine No problem and stay tuned
I like the R32 better than the R46
I didn’t even notice that! Lol now I’ll backtrack n see it!

Trains are the best
They sure are!
Cool
*mwah*ok you can let go now. no, i’ll stay forever.
those chains are for safety reasons so people from the platform don’t fall and people crossing the train cars don’t fall off
Thankx for that clarification
Np
This was taken in like 5AM or 6AM
Teddsmooth -_ More like 5:45 AM
Ok and sorry I was sleeping
Most likely in the late spring when the first glimpses of daylight start about 4:30 AM and sunrise is between 5:30 and 5:45 AM.
R46 should be kept FOREVER! they don’t look old
I agree
BLETransit thanks
BLETransit They are Retiring By R211 :(
The MC Guy They ARE old.
Sadly when the R211 comes it will be scraped
Cool a blue S
I don’t live in New York City, so I haven’t seen seen a train couple before

Woa
I've never seen anyone couple a train before.

Nancy Alvarez That only applies to the Rockaway Park Shuttle
+BLETransit Network Have you caught the Orion Vll CNG yet on the B103 yet
XxKingFrisk DreemurrxX Not yet but I will soon
There’s a new r211 train on the A line, but there’s only one r211 in service. I wonder when there will be more R211 train sets.
Wow, I thought joining/splitting at junctions on urban railroads was a thing of the past! You’re telling me this happens daily??
Yes, only if there's no late construction on the line

50 trains in a station? Not even close to my record.
1:45 IF THEY PUT IT TOGETHER THEY HAVE 16 cars altogether
These 2 trains were 4 cars so it’s 8 cars now
the amount of times it is braking and releasing
Omg
So this is what happens at the end of late nights
Absolutely around 11:45PM or midnight
@@BLETransitYT i said when late nights ends but ok
BLUE S????
It's rarely seen, but it differentiates this from the other shuttle trains
@@BLETransitYT 😎👌
Ok btw why did this happen 🤔🤔
Because the A train uses eight 75-foot cars instead of four, plus it was the start of the mornin' rush hour
I would see that in real life
I’d love to see how they uncouple. Is there a control for that in the motorman’s cab?
yes
1:35 Just look at that gap... Leg Incinerater...

What is that thing? 2:32 can somebody explain please?
Fluzz nation that thing is called a flexible coupling rod
Those are barrier springs. Heavy cables that keep customers standing in station platforms from falling in between cars while the train is berthed in the station. They are not flexible coupling rods,
BLETTRANSIT Network can that platform hold two 8 car set
Only with 8-car R46s
OK and nice video
0:27 R46 HVAC
When time was this exactly happened? I want to catch this myself
This usually happens around around 5:30am to 5:45 a.m.
What’s the purpose of the springs?
It's to prevent illegal entry into the subway train
BLETransit-Régginator Inc. oh, I thought it was to prevent people from falling out of the train in case of an emergency when people need to move out of a car.
@@atomstarfireproductions8695 That's also true
Those are called chains and chain barriers

A blue S
Luke can you make d trains couple in your game?
This seems pretty neat! But why do the S and the A train join together ?
Between 11PM and 5:30AM, the Lefferts Boulevard shuttle is in effect while all A trains run to Far Rockaway. As you just watched the R46s are joined together to become a full length 8-car train while changin' the roll signs from (S)am to (A)pple
@@BLETransitYT xD
Can someone remind me...... Are the undergrouns trains ALL 8 Cars only
And are the Elevated trains 10 cars only? Not 8?
Pretty much all the subway lines are elevated except for the C, E and R trains the 42nd Street shuttle
whta time does this happen ?
Ive never seen a blue shuttle
The roll sign still exist although it has never been showcased that much
Four
Why do they do this? Is it because the train cars are so short? If so, why don't they just make it longer while manufacturing?
That's not the main concern, shuttle's running fewer cars than other subway lines, especially overnight
@@BLETransitYT So they connect shuttles with normal trains?
Sometimes
@@BLETransitYT Thats good to know. Thanks!
1:39
The metal thing that they attach to the other train?
Meaning?
Coupler
What exactly locks the coupling together? A switch in the motorman’s cab?
It's a special locking device inside every motorman's cab that joins the two sets of R46s together
R46 have 5 cars? Or 3-2?
Singapore Transport Hub - the transportation They have 4 cars each. 6202 - 6260 only have 2 cars each
BLETransit Network R38 kinda in Roblox has only one car
Test Test 2
Why do trains make that hissing noise
Logan Z DarkWolf I mean it’s like the sound they make before they drive the train off idk
Brake release.
Logan Z DarkWolf Correct and it's very loud too
Brakes, air compressors, that sort of stuff.
@@CSXBoys to reslease the breaks
So the S had 4 and the A had 8
So there were a total of *12* cars
*Damn that b i g long*
They were both 4 cars, it cannot be 12
Someone get the S train a cigarette.
Lml good one 🤣🤣
S + A = ?
S + A = Blue S
