This reminds me of the "good old days" of the '70s and the "80s when breakdowns and equipment failures occurred almost all of 24/7. Out in Rockaway, every IND train except the GG made its way to Far Rockaway at one time or another.
Man another catch that'll be very rare would be seeing a rerouted (E) to run to Brooklyn via the Culver line I've always wanted to see that happen. The (C) being rerouted via Culver was always a dream until this video. This was a great video by the way and hope you get more rare catches like this one in the future
Cool seeing a C train where it doesn't belong. Anything out of the ordinary like that I always get a kick out of, like an F train running over the G line to Queens. Thanks for posting!
Why couldn't the g line go all the way to Coney Island instead of the c train. I mean since the f and g meets each other at Bergen st. It would of made more sense because it ends at Church ave.
Although I do wish the f line had some r32s back. I like them on the f line better than the f line because it is a outside line and the c is a underground train line.
Wow, I wish I could have seen this for myself. It's one thing to have a C train come into an F station.... It's a whole other thing to have it actually picking up passengers along the F line.....wow. is someone told me that this happened, I wouldn't have believed it without proof. What a great catch. Thank you.
Loved operating the R32s ... dinosaurs! I was especially good at BLASTING into the station & then ( pow-pow-pow-pow-POW!) slamming the brakes at the last possible moment, putting passengers on the floor. haha. But that's how we were trained - full speed into the station, power on until halfway through, then brutally braking.
It Was Cool To See An R32 C Train Going To Coney Island. I Actually Thought That It Was Heading To Coney Island Yard For SMS Maintenance. But I Thought Wrong. But It Brings Memories Back When The F Line Had R32s When They Got Replaced In 2008-2009 By The R160s.
Uh, you do realize that, in total, the F Line has about 44 Trains in total, which is 4 more trains than the A Line (the longest line in the city). Also, most people (but not everyone) along Queens Blvd don't want old trains (because they think they special), which is why the oldest train for service over there is the R46, which is going to be replaced soon by the R211.
I thought some people would only complain about the e line having r32s and r42s. I mean Springfield gardens didn't like the r32s and r42s on the e line. I'm just wondering why did the whole queens blvd line get affected if it was only the e line that needed r160s? Why did the f line needed those r160s. I mean it was fine with r46s and r32s. The e and the r line had way older equipment than the f. Plus the e and r lines had way more r32s and r42s than r46s. The f line was mostly r46. I mean I'm just saying that the r line should of gotten the r160s instead of the f line. Why did the MTA send the r160s to the f line instead of the r line. The f line could of waited until the future for new tech trains.
I'm guessing this happened because they don't want anyone to be jealous of the E Line on Queens Blvd, so they had to do a makeover for the F and V (now M) Lines as well. As for the R Train, there is like one or two sets that are R160s for the R. Another possible reason could be that the F and G Lines (going to the Culver Line now) did get new train models the same year (or a year apart from each other). As every train car model used on the F Line except the R46 were set for retirement, they were replaced by the brand new R160s (while the G train got the leftover R68s and R68As that were out of service from the B and D Lines because the G Line "isn't as important and most hated" even though it's my personal number 1 favorite).
Well they could have just had the G train go all the way down to Coney Island via Culver since the G does not go to Manhattan meaning that the G would have had no delays meaning it could make the trip to Coney Island.
Well, considering that this has happened before on many occasions, the G could have been used. But the train length gap (300 feet trains) would cause the G Train to not handle the potentially higher ridership as well as the C Train (480 feet trains).
While it is true that A Trains are longer than C Trains by 120 feet, the main purpose of the C Line is to serve as a local variant to the "more popular" A Train, the express variant. As such, more people along the Fulton Street Line would have been affected if an A Train was rerouted than if a C Train was rerouted (the A Train serves approximately 600,000 passengers as opposed to the C Train, which serves approximately 200,000 passengers according to MTA data). Therefore, to make sure that the least amount of passengers would be affected, the C Train was chosen to be rerouted instead of the A Train.
All of the conductor cabs are on the left hand side (facing the train), so the conductor has to walk between two different cars to open doors on either side.
this is a Coney Island bound A train via the F line. The next stop is West 8 Street-New York Aquarium. This is West 8 Street-New York Aquarium. Transfer is available to the Q train.
Probably had to wait for the next C Train, or they just sent a Lefferts Blvd bound A Train local, like they usually do (I only said Lefferts bound because they are more likely to be sent local rather than one to the Rockaways, but a train to Far Rockaway could have been sent local also, but it's not as likely).
Because it's not an F. The signs in the front and back they could change within seconds, the window signs a worker would have to manually change and that takes time. The C train was already in service and waiting for a worker to change the window signs would slow service even further.
this is indeed an excellent and historic catch. It is not likely to occur again. I hope the R32 cars remain in Revenue Service for at least a few more years.
C Trains are shorter than the full-length trains because it's main purpose is to be a local variant of the A Train, which is the "more popular" express train. Since more people would rather take the A express train, this leads to a lower ridership on the C local train, thus giving the MTA a reason to have shorter trains on the C Line (the C Line has the second lowest ridership levels in the entire city, only surpassing the G Line).
YinYin Yin, I know G Trains are shorter, I live along the G Line and take it everyday. It's also been my most favorite and I know everything that is right and wrong about the G Line.
The R32s should go to the G Line. I mean they may be old but we could use some longer trains over here on the G (the G Line is my most favorite train line, just in case anyone thinks I'm hating on the G Line).
lets just pretend that the title says r32 c trains to coney island action and the beginning part where the creator is saying what happend will be removed from the video
F : Hello C Train, and welcome to my Culver Line backyard garden. You can finally get some fresh air and allow me to spring you all the way to Coney Island. C : uh oh, where is my Fulton Street line? F : Well, the Fulton Street line is very busy. So come on in, and just relax for a while. C : Well that's just great; this is just exactly what l really need. And now I'm very upset. F : Don't worry kid; this rerouted line is just only temporary. G : That's right C Train. Think of it as a welcome home guess. You will pull through. We promise. C: okay. F: Can l get you anything? C : A cup of coffee will do. F : Crosstown G train, would you mind give the 8th Avenue Local C Train and myself some Coffee, please? G : Right away Culver F Train. F: Thanks 😎☕
@Branden Rios F: you can come join the Culver Line Party. Crosstown G Train will provide you guys a drink. Just sit down and relax. R: well thank you F train F: you welcome 😎
I've been watching several videos of yours with these uncommon operations. I don't understand why the trains that are rerouted don't just temporarily use the service number or letter of the train it is covering. For example would it not have been easier for this rerouted C train to be displayed as an F train and run to Coney Island this way? It would have then returned back to being a C train.
The C has such unreliable service and long headways on any given day so how is it possible a C can be removed from it's regular run to fill a gap in service on another line? The next time there's a 23 minute wait for an uptown C, I expect to see an E or F filling in the gap.
Another fabulous video. The NYC subway system is mind boggling and certainly a crown jewel of the town. I wish I knew the system. I'd come into town just to ride around all day long.
They always used 10 car R32s when the "regular" G was 6 car R46s, the conductor boards in one direction no longer lined up for 8x60' trains (in the other direction the conductor just needed to be between the 5th/6th cars).
PrimaryConsult No, the only time the G Train uses a 10 car train in normal service is when something affects an adjacent line, like if track work forces the F Train to run to Euclid Avenue and the G Train has to operate to Coney Island to replace it. Besides, and R32 8 car train would use the 10 car train conductor board, as the train would line up with it if it stops at the 8 car marker, just like how the C Local Train would have the same conductor board as when the A Train runs local.
I have a good feeling the best way and I hope your friends tonight and get it to work on time and I hope to hear back from the mailing address for the idea of the cost and I hope your friends tonight and get back with you
Those C Trains can finally breathe fresh air
yup
Censored Dude yeah
Sonic 57053 the R doesnt breath fresh air, it goes via tunnel.
M
@Everything US Trains Pro lzlklal
Po
0:47 thats definitely a nice view of the one world trade center and where the r32 is.
nice to see a r32 on the f line again
I know
hockeyboss 689 Yeah really it is.
Oh yeah?
This reminds me of the "good old days" of the '70s and the "80s when breakdowns and equipment failures occurred almost all of 24/7. Out in Rockaway, every IND train except the GG made its way to Far Rockaway at one time or another.
R32's on the F line? It's been a while.
This is a 168 St bound c train via the f line. The next stop is 2 Av.
+YinYin Yin This is a Coney Island-Stitwell Av Bound C train via the f line. The next stop is 7 Av.
Amy Mason this is a coney island bound C train via the F line, the next stop is smith 9th streets
who cares
Man another catch that'll be very rare would be seeing a rerouted (E) to run to Brooklyn via the Culver line I've always wanted to see that happen. The (C) being rerouted via Culver was always a dream until this video. This was a great video by the way and hope you get more rare catches like this one in the future
I saw that happen before, but it was out of service. However, the sign still had E on it.
You're about 60 years too late for that. The E train originally ran on the Culver line to Church Avenue.
But (E) via Culver is sleep bc its just an (F) from JC
3:49 A (C) train running express... on the Culver Line? Awesome catch!
It's because it was out of service.
I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS!! FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE SUMMER 2009 WE HAVE R32S ON THE CULVER LINE!😄😄
Aside from work service!
oh yeah!!! the R32 F train is back baby!!
I know lol but technicaly it's really an F when it's going to Coney island and do you remember how the F had nothing but R32!!!
The f line deserves the r32s more than the C line.
I remember that time, it had R32s, R40s, R40a, R42s, and R46s. Now it's mainly R160s with a few R46s, but those I said before were my childhood!
No, it is rerouted C train
YinYin Yin, Drink me.
My only question is how are you able to capture this train at every stop lol
People submit their videos to his channel, that's how
Cool seeing a C train where it doesn't belong. Anything out of the ordinary like that I always get a kick out of, like an F train running over the G line to Queens. Thanks for posting!
I remember once years ago heading into the city I caught sight of a C train at Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Av 😂
+slimgardener very cool! :D
Awww... i wish i could have seen that. Thats because I live near that place! To be 1/2 a block away to be exact.
slimgardener QA
Lot's changes going on right now! This happened and now the E is running via the R to Whitehall Street according to the MTA website.
+Fantech0104 yup, I got all of them on the video! :D
Dj Hammers Awesome!! :)
Fantech0104 new
+Fantech0104: I saw an (R) train terminating at 179 Street when I was heading to the Holiday Nostalgia!
Why couldn't the g line go all the way to Coney Island instead of the c train. I mean since the f and g meets each other at Bergen st. It would of made more sense because it ends at Church ave.
I haven't seen r32 trains running on the f line, aside from the refuse trains, but I have seen that the r46s are back running on the f line
Although I do wish the f line had some r32s back. I like them on the f line better than the f line because it is a outside line and the c is a underground train line.
Wow, I wish I could have seen this for myself. It's one thing to have a C train come into an F station....
It's a whole other thing to have it actually picking up passengers along the F line.....wow.
is someone told me that this happened, I wouldn't have believed it without proof.
What a great catch. Thank you.
Finally the C Train goes outside for once
I wish this could happen more often. The C train going outside for a change.
Finally overground C train
Loved operating the R32s ... dinosaurs! I was especially good at BLASTING into the station & then ( pow-pow-pow-pow-POW!) slamming the brakes at the last possible moment, putting passengers on the floor. haha. But that's how we were trained - full speed into the station, power on until halfway through, then brutally braking.
Looks like a fun railfan window ride!
It Was Cool To See An R32 C Train Going To Coney Island. I Actually Thought That It Was Heading To Coney Island Yard For SMS Maintenance. But I Thought Wrong. But It Brings Memories Back When The F Line Had R32s When They Got Replaced In 2008-2009 By The R160s.
Another nice catch
This is a Coney Island-Stitwell Av bound c train via the f line. the next and last stop is Coney Island-Stitwell Av.
Stitwell XD
This is a Coney island Stilwell av bound C train via the F line, the next stop is 18 av
It well be nice if the A and C trains ran to Coney island
Finally, R32's can breath again
8 car R32 in service...probably it's final Coney island run
I Bet That The (F) Train Riders Were Happy That They Caught An R32.
I agree. They got so many R160's over there.
Maybe a bit too much
No
Really the most unusual thing I have seen.
Wow that brings me back seeing an R32 in service over Culver
It's been a while since we saw R32's on the (F)
True! I wish they were back on the f line. The f line deserves them more than the C,j/z lines.
Uh, you do realize that, in total, the F Line has about 44 Trains in total, which is 4 more trains than the A Line (the longest line in the city). Also, most people (but not everyone) along Queens Blvd don't want old trains (because they think they special), which is why the oldest train for service over there is the R46, which is going to be replaced soon by the R211.

no
I once saw an rerouted E train making stops up 6th Ave going into the bx via the D line. Its last stop was tremont
Well they could have just had the G train go all the way down to Coney Island via Culver since the G does not go to Manhattan meaning that the G would have had no delays meaning it could make the trip to Coney Island.
Well, considering that this has happened before on many occasions, the G could have been used. But the train length gap (300 feet trains) would cause the G Train to not handle the potentially higher ridership as well as the C Train (480 feet trains).
Kirby Flame there was also A trains that are longer than the C

R160 F via R line via broadway line , i hope there are announcements for it =) soo many reroutes
How does a R32 conductor operate both doors? Is there one room that is full length?
All of the conductor cabs are on the left hand side (facing the train), so the conductor has to walk between two different cars to open doors on either side.
Did you get any RFW footage between 18 Av and Neptune Av over the express track?
Nice catch!
Ayyyy, MEGA FOAM on this. Imagine if an R68A (C) train went via the (F) or via the (B)...
I would be drooling by now
this is a Coney Island bound A train via the F line. The next stop is West 8 Street-New York Aquarium. This is West 8 Street-New York Aquarium. Transfer is available to the Q train.
C train via F line
Why was F train service having such a large gap? What happened to those C train passengers along Fulton Local waiting for that train?
Probably had to wait for the next C Train, or they just sent a Lefferts Blvd bound A Train local, like they usually do (I only said Lefferts bound because they are more likely to be sent local rather than one to the Rockaways, but a train to Far Rockaway could have been sent local also, but it's not as likely).
TheCrazyTtains4 Is there a video for that? Interesting operations.
TheCrazyTtains4 Really, that's pretty cool, if only I got to see that, I definitely would have got that on video.
Great video man, Happy New Year too..
This Was The Very First Time That An R32 Went To Coney Island Since 2009 When The Last R32 (F) Trains Ran On That Year.
Why didn’t they change it to an F to avoid passenger confusion?
Because it's not an F. The signs in the front and back they could change within seconds, the window signs a worker would have to manually change and that takes time. The C train was already in service and waiting for a worker to change the window signs would slow service even further.
this is indeed an excellent and historic catch. It is not likely to occur again. I hope the R32 cars remain in Revenue Service for at least a few more years.
I remember that 3 years ago I caught a E train via culver line in brooklyn and it was going to coney island. I caught it at kings highway
WHY IS IT SO SHORT?
C Trains are shorter than the full-length trains because it's main purpose is to be a local variant of the A Train, which is the "more popular" express train. Since more people would rather take the A express train, this leads to a lower ridership on the C local train, thus giving the MTA a reason to have shorter trains on the C Line (the C Line has the second lowest ridership levels in the entire city, only surpassing the G Line).
Kirby Flame Oh Okay, Thanks
G trains are even shorter
YinYin Yin, I know G Trains are shorter, I live along the G Line and take it everyday. It's also been my most favorite and I know everything that is right and wrong about the G Line.
YinYin Yin Doesn't the G train have 6 cars?
Why does the C Train run out of service back up the F Line? Is it a crew thing?
+Dj Hammers Did You That The R32s Used To Run On The (F) Line?
I been on a R32 C Train before but I never seen one to CI. It would make sense to put the rollsign up as "F".
Good catch you make Good catches as aways
r32 when they on f again honey im home
1:07 Bro, R32s are the shortest train cars on NYC Subway, like…
It went past the station with 2 missing cars.
R32 Runs now? im not in ny i used to be
Not for long. The R179s will replace them.
Ducks dd the R32s are being moved to the R line
um... ok
The R32s should go to the G Line. I mean they may be old but we could use some longer trains over here on the G (the G Line is my most favorite train line, just in case anyone thinks I'm hating on the G Line).
lets just pretend that the title says r32 c trains to coney island action and the beginning part where the creator is saying what happend will be removed from the video
C train : Ahh some fresh air
I wonder why they chose the redirect a C train and not an A train?
now that's something you don't see everyday
Emiliano Sanchez yep I like them when it’s on da F line
I must be dreaming
Then stop dreaming
Oh nah 💀
R32s back on the F LINE cool
no
well i meant R32 C train running on the F
You know you can edit
Is a good thing u filmed this because I hear these trains gonna disappear by 2020
nice
F : Hello C Train, and welcome to my Culver Line backyard garden. You can finally get some fresh air and allow me to spring you all the way to Coney Island.
C : uh oh, where is my Fulton Street line?
F : Well, the Fulton Street line is very busy. So come on in, and just relax for a while.
C : Well that's just great; this is just exactly what l really need. And now I'm very upset.
F : Don't worry kid; this rerouted line is just only temporary.
G : That's right C Train. Think of it as a welcome home guess. You will pull through. We promise.
C: okay.
F: Can l get you anything?
C : A cup of coffee will do.
F : Crosstown G train, would you mind give the 8th Avenue Local C Train and myself some Coffee, please?
G : Right away Culver F Train.
F: Thanks 😎☕
@Branden Rios F: you can come join the Culver Line Party. Crosstown G Train will provide you guys a drink. Just sit down and relax.
R: well thank you F train
F: you welcome 😎
Plus the C train is entirely underground. Rarely does a C train emerge from the tunnel in passenger service
yeah it does not go above ground
Ronald Rojas E trains as well and the R but sometimes it goes on the manhattan bridge when there is weekend work
JayMelrah 2171 also 42 st shuttle
e trains arw running on the r today
A manhole blew up causing outages on the D, E and F
I've been watching several videos of yours with these uncommon operations. I don't understand why the trains that are rerouted don't just temporarily use the service number or letter of the train it is covering. For example would it not have been easier for this rerouted C train to be displayed as an F train and run to Coney Island this way? It would have then returned back to being a C train.
Does New Yorkers gets fustrated and complain when there is major disruption to the subway or they just get on with life and do not care wtf happened?
Oh...Does delays and disruptions very common
in NYC? Does it happens every month?
syed daniel yes all the time
Thought that Singapore is the only nation to have disruption every month....oh well
NYC Subway has delays everyday.
+The Rail Shooter So?
An r32 at Coney island station that's rare
C trains be like when their riding outside (smell) (breathe)
Thank god it wasn't an R160
Brooklynite Bryon r32 sucks r160 rules
why the r32 c I want coney island bound r160 c
wow
The C has such unreliable service and long headways on any given day so how is it possible a C can be removed from it's regular run to fill a gap in service on another line? The next time there's a 23 minute wait for an uptown C, I expect to see an E or F filling in the gap.
I like trains
R32s finally return to the culver line
They should've changed the LED to a F. It would've been less confusing
This C Train Is Getting Fresh Air For Good J/Z Get Fresh Air For A WHILE E Via A Line In Queens Would Work Lefferts Blvd Rockawy Beach Or Far Rockaway
Another fabulous video. The NYC subway system is mind boggling and certainly a crown jewel of the town. I wish I knew the system. I'd come into town just to ride around all day long.
It was still lucky that the train didn't go to the Boston .
U silly, NYC trains never go to Boston or they have hard time then
The C and G trains should be together because there both small
cool 2 guys friends Yea Poor them
A:MY LINE IS MORE LONGER THAN YOU
C:*cries*
G:Man so unfair that I don’t go to Manhattan and they do!
E: i used to go to brooklyn on 9/11
J:......
lets pretend that the c trains that you see in this video is an r32 f train going its usaul route
no.
They should really run R32s on the F
And c trains don't go above ground!
I agree, And the 42 st shuttle and the E train
+YinYin Yin Don't forget the R.
The r train only goes outside only for 3 seconds between 59 st and bay ridge ave in Brooklyn.
Ok
Karen Evans no it does not
S train needs fresh air
But if it overcrowded again I think They would reroute the A,N or R.
This kind of stuff never happens on the DC Metro.
Good for u tbh
It would have been better if that was a R46 C. They could resign the C to an F this way.
Brooklyn bound C to Coney Island via the F line??? GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!
I think that when the R32's were refurbished they should've added door chimes.
OMG My R32 (F) Train Is Back!!!!!!!!!!But In 8 Cars Sets?The R32 (F) Trains Were 10 Cars SetsJust Like The R32 (A) (B) (E) (G) (N) (Q) (R) (V) (W) Trains!
The G Train never had a 10 Car R32. When the R32s were used on the G Line (until 2001), they were in the 8 Car format.
NO!!!!!!!!!!
They always used 10 car R32s when the "regular" G was 6 car R46s, the conductor boards in one direction no longer lined up for 8x60' trains (in the other direction the conductor just needed to be between the 5th/6th cars).
PrimaryConsult No, the only time the G Train uses a 10 car train in normal service is when something affects an adjacent line, like if track work forces the F Train to run to Euclid Avenue and the G Train has to operate to Coney Island to replace it. Besides, and R32 8 car train would use the 10 car train conductor board, as the train would line up with it if it stops at the 8 car marker, just like how the C Local Train would have the same conductor board as when the A Train runs local.
the R32 itself choose to run on the F
I have a good feeling the best way and I hope your friends tonight and get it to work on time and I hope to hear back from the mailing address for the idea of the cost and I hope your friends tonight and get back with you
