I used to operate those B trains and those northbounds used to really speed up rolling down that hill between Avenue H and Newkirk. Always worried about overrunning the platform.
First! "What? He drop his bag or something. . . ?" "No he jumped out to make a snow angel" Well now he can take to his grave saying "So badass, he once did a snow angel on the subway tracks!"
Newkirk Plaza (if I was heading directly home)/Avenue H (if I had after-school extracurriculars at Brooklyn College) were my two home Subway stations from 1973-1992 growing up in the South Midwood/Ditmas Park neighborhood. Avenue M was my station stop for where I went to high school (I went to Murrow). Then I lived in South Park Slope (ironically close to P.S.107 "John Kimball" where I'd gone to elementary school, K-5th grades; junior high school was out of the country in London, UK) near the F & G lines/15th Street Prospect Park station during my "gap years" in between high school & college. Later on, (after I went out of state to college & grad school both up in New England in Massachusetts & Connecticut) when I moved back to NYC & into Manhattan & was living in the East Village on E.12th St. & Avenue A, I was near the L line/1st Avenue station. I moved out to the San Francisco/Bay Area permanently in 2004. Now BART is my subway. 😂 I still carry all those MTA memories with me though. 😁😉
Hm, nice shot, Michael Kam. Good catch with with the howling R68A train cars and the trains departing and arriving, as well as the bonus footage of the sparrow (bird). However, I find the "speeding into station" on the uptown (B) train to be quite disappointing TBH. Any further explanations, besides the snow causing this?
I don't know why that person was on the tracks when the announcements say, "Hello. Never go onto the tracks for any reason, even if you've dropped something important. We can help you get it back. Just tell a police officer, or an MTA employee, or use the Help Point Intercom."
This is a pretty scene, and an interesting system, as somebody who lives in Upstate New York and has three vehicles I could never see relying on a subway to get things done, how do you get your animal to the vet? How do you get ice cream home before it melts? How do you bring home appliances or things of large-volume that you purchased? They seem to take away so much Independence, the only train we have up here is an Amtrak train which goes up and down the East Coast, as much as I love trains I wouldn't want to depend on them for my daily transportation.
You really have to think about urban living a lot of what we need is within walking distance of where we are. Literally there's several vets within a mile to half a mile radius. The ice cream shop is literally a few blocks away. Delivery is also a big part of life. Trust if you brought your car downstate and had to sit in traffic and wait to find parking you wouldn't move it either unless it's the weekend. A lot of postwar towns were spread out and built around the interstate system New York City predates all of that. Just a different environment
I'm still disappointed that the MTA did not put an order for more R160 train cars for the Coney Island Yard. I really hate the R46 trains (R68 excluded). And it's 2024
I always wonder why these stations are so close together. I mean trains are supposed to be the more faster and quicker options. They have buses for such short distance.
You can still catch one during Morning rush hours to Coney Island. 😃 And actually one day, I was at Coney and there must’ve been a shortage in equipment so the R160 did a return trip to 96th st.
There were two full trains that were wrapped for the opening of the Second Avenue Subway. Those trains have since been unwrapped. Here's more of those trains if you wish to check them out: th-cam.com/channels/Lv6_JXKd25pMOKUqjxQq_g.htmlsearch?query=SAS+wrap (Hopefully the link works).
Toronto Subway opened in 1954. They tried to take pointers from NYC and London England while avoiding the problems. The old platform at Union and the NB platform at Davisville were very narrow.

This Newkirk platform is TINY! And you're filming with snow on the ground!? You are crazy brave, darlin'!
Actually, it’s normal size, but it gets smaller near the end.
@@jaydenh922yeah, that’s what he meant I think
If it’s too narrow for an elevator to be installed, maybe two narrow ramps will do, one for going up and one for going down.
being a pilot or a train driver, 2 of the coolest looking offices ever on earth
I agree.
I used to operate those B trains and those northbounds used to really speed up rolling down that hill between Avenue H and Newkirk. Always worried about overrunning the platform.
What was it like operating those trains? I low-key used to dream about operating one as a kid, back when I used to live in NY.😄
As a current New Yorker the trains in the snow always get me! Great video mate.
I miss hearing the sound of The MTA Subway trains.
As a former NY'er who left decades ago, I love these posts. Brings back memories. Thanks.
Why’d you leave NY?
Once a new yorker, always a new yorker.
being a “Former New Yorker” does not exist!
When will you come back to nyc ??
you got to ride on the good old slants
Good choice you left, NYC is a mess.
The snow and the trains are just so beautiful.
XD
Something about the B being express and the Q being local doesn’t sit right with my soul.
The B is a part time train, so if it handled local on the Brighton line, then Local stops would be part time stations too
The Q would have 21 stops then
Wish I could live in NYC and enjoy this scene. :)
Well, after the pandemonium leaves, come on over!
Blue River you recognize this was 3 years ago so he might of all ready came over 😅
NYC is way too overrated. You’d have a much better quality of living elsewhere.
Their subway colours are so bland. Compared to London Underground
just hatin on nyct subway as per usual
Love your tele-compression effects with the trains climbing or descending grades, looking like big electric "Slinkies" ;-)
We have NYC subway trains running in winter.🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃
18:27 is where the guy went on the tracks lol
First!
"What? He drop his bag or something. . . ?"
"No he jumped out to make a snow angel"
Well now he can take to his grave saying "So badass, he once did a snow angel on the subway tracks!"
Hi Paul I'm sure I have
Lol
He didn't die, you didn't say he got shocked by the third rail and you didn't say if you got hit by a train.

I swear, I'm watching this on a too-hot evening just to help me remember what being cool feels like.
23:28 you caught 9098-9102 the last Siemens set ever delivered
How do you know all of this?
And at about 11:55 to 12:30 you caught 9093-9098.
You know what? I think they should've couple up into 9093-9102. THAT would be nice.
Funny how on extreme zoom, it looks more like a centipede than a subway train. Just sayin'
connextro Yes it does look how it looks in extreme zoom bro are you blind?
Wow, the platform is so narrow!
Otherwise, what a beautiful snowy day! :D
Its not snowing lol
@@eugenechen1340 but it has snow and that's wat he means

The snow and the hill. I like this area. Great video :)
Fantastic video - really superb ending. Nice capture of the birds.
Keep up the good work.

25:31 RIP CAT
No cat 🐈 I see
Where
That cat didn't die lol
Spanish Boy Vlogs poor cat 😿
😂
Super cool video! I am traveling to New York in October. Can you tell me where I can film freight trains?
There aren’t any freight trains really in nyc.
I live two blocks away from here.. Amazing how narrow these platforms are.. 🚆 🚉
They don't give you much time to get on or off since they seem to only keep the doors open for 2 or 3 seconds.
Great video. What camera is this?
Those AC motor Island R160 trains are so hard to find
Why does the red circle on the R160B spins
its just the way the camera picks it up i think

They'll never get it.
when the trains are outdoors
*why do the circles spin?*
its just the way the camera picks it up i think
Can you tell me why the Q train is local? And the B is express
It use to be reversed
I heard the mta gets federal $ when they "create" new lines.
4:00 here comes the washing machine.
the R160s are happy! :D
Does the rotating circle around the letter mean anything? Great videos btw
No its just the camera
*shrug*
The camera gets it at speed of light
I'm still disappointed that the MTA did not put an order for more R160 train cars for the Coney Island Yard. I really hate the R46 trains (R68 excluded).
And it's 2024
i have no idea what the "spinning circle" means on the rollsign
Me too.
I never saw that when i was over there. So it caught my attention too. Is that a new thing?
Blue River nah the camera makes it look like that… the camera doesn’t react well to those leds or something
Not a rollsign, it's a dot matrix display
The train at the start sounds clearly like a Bombardier train.
most are alstom and french just like the R68
@@blockvfive1196, R68s are Kawasaki
Wait my bad R68A are Kawasaki's
Big fan
These are the best trains ever
This is brighton beach bound b train next and last stop brighton beach, stand clear of the closing doors
This is indeed the first time that's ever get to say "this is a Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue bound Q local train" announcement.
Brooklyn Bound (Q) trains are sure buzy.
Wow not a single like
i love how on the bottom of the platforms u can see the wheels of the 160s
I love silver trains
You mean r160
@@malachilewis6830 all the trains are silver-
I always wonder why these stations are so close together. I mean trains are supposed to be the more faster and quicker options. They have buses for such short distance.
To give everyone a chance. And they have express trains. A train holds 8-10x more people than a bus.
This video is good! KEEP WORKING! 🎉
wow lucky I really wanted to go there because of the snow it oh well nice video!
Which is better: R68 or R46?
R46 Has a yellow roll sign for destination, and R68 Is the Actual Rollsign.
Also, small but different appearance.
Newkirk ave platforms are dangerous.
Why?
Growling Motors when you stand on the end of the platform when a train comes in it can blow you away
@@tyrek78 What lol ?
@@tyrek78 for realz? I didnt know that.
Was this filmed after the 96th street extension?
Wow! Are you serious those platforms are this thin? It just doesn't look any safe...
Why is the signs spinning ?
Camera effect.
In roblox the sign spins around also
@@sheriffsule5496 no it dosen't
@@FanRailer thats what i thought too.
I like your Video of New York city Subway train station
I miss the R160 Q trains! 😢
You can still catch one during Morning rush hours to Coney Island. 😃
And actually one day, I was at Coney and there must’ve been a shortage in equipment so the R160 did a return trip to 96th st.
26:24. Hove Beach.
lol
:,-) so beatiful
The American Dream
At 2:49 when did the station name change to Newkirk Plaza?
It’s always been called that
what are the sets called with the special livery? for example at 24:47?

alright then thank you!

Subway power
That sounds like the R211 with that noise because it reminded me of a
Ad that spelled the word noise with moise 😅
0:32 Seems like the line is loading
Looks like the B Could have Been Running in Snow for Days..
You Did Do this Ok
Why do some of new york's subways have a circle that doesn't stay out it moves around. Why does it do that?
its just the way the camera picks it up i think
That platform is so narrow.
Let’s obviously make the MTA trans all go faster a lot more
To make them derail? Nice let’s do it!
Now in 2024 theres no R160B on the Q line only R46 R68A
Is winter in new York
Traveling to my godfather's family's house in Sheephead Bay (Sheepshead or Neck Road). I never thought Newkirk Ave would become Newkirk Plaza....!
Those doors close and open quickly 4:29
i think B and Q are a lot better then F and N line in the neighborhood, especially B is super fast.
Is the b faster then the A
What do you have the iphone mounted too very steady video
what camera?
Ah the good old Brighton beach line in the snow
Nice job love the catch
Does the driver have a toilet in his cab?
Nice captures
Nice video!
R-160s! Yes!
Nyc subway’s are so fast they go 149 speed the b line and the d train
Nice video
HOLY SHIT IS THAT SNOW?
i do ride the E F M R and 7 train not They M R.
we had the r 16 s and r32 s when they had no wipers
I like the r168b
Nice !!
Now we have SMEEs yay
I have a bit or clips that u might not have
Such narrow platforms! We have nothing like that here in Toronto.
Toronto Subway opened in 1954. They tried to take pointers from NYC and London England while avoiding the problems. The old platform at Union and the NB platform at Davisville were very narrow.
I like the first train
Nice.. but why is it not so colourful .it's just white or Steel colour
22:39 😃
They nat protected of rush with graf
Nice
Am i the only one who thinks that the Q train cars sounds scary?
