NYC Subway: Misty Double El Action at West 8th Street
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2024
- Today we are in Coney Island, just one stop short of the famous Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station.
Here, at West 8th Street, right next to the Atlantic Ocean and several amusement parks, the BMT Brighton Line and the BMT Culver Line diverge. The former is served by (Q) trains while the latter is served by (F) trains. What is interesting about this station is that it is built as a double elevated structure. The upper level is used by the Brighton Line while the Culver Line runs on the lower level.
This station allows for some stunning views along either line. This film shows some action on a misty Saturday in May.
Enjoy!
Filmed on 9 May, 2015.

I remember being a kid heading from 161st in the Bronx and spending my Saturdays at Coney Island. I miss my home...Love NYC...
awwww nice
You sure know how to make a former New Yorker who grew up on and LOVES the subway, miss living there don't you?? Had I been single without a newborn baby 29 years ago, I wouldn't have moved out and I'd be retired from Transit already! With all of the new things going on in NYC in terms of trains like the new #7 Hudson Yards, the upcoming 2nd Avenue subway, LIRR into Grand Central, new LIRR yards being built, wow! The area is buzzing with excitement indeed. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT video that's so professionally done. Thank you for such a fine job, I really miss NYC and the subway and now I'll subscribe to your channel with honour.
Thank you for posting this video. Since I was a kid, I have always enjoyed going to Coney Island and most of the time we passed through here. I recently moved upstate and this is a great way to see how things look now.

Something about trains like this just fascinate me---- When I travel to NY city or Chicago I never rent a car. Light rail is such a fun trip around town.....
this is heavy rail not light rail
Good one, as usual! Thanks for posting it!
You forgot to add that the station used to be one level serving both lines. Thats why the Q climbs up to the station.
Yup! You can actually still see where the connecting structure is.!
Great Video!
The NY Subway is very interesting System. I was in April this year there and liked it!
Greetings from the other side of the ocean!
Thumbs up!
4:58 I love that sound
R160 Alstom Propulsion sound.
I like it too!
@@CARma193 :D
Awww .. I wish you`d also filmed the other end of the station from the lower level .. oh well.
+trainrover Sorry :)

@@Luftschlange your the best
Those are some great shots!!!
Very nice view of the trains and the train station and the trains are very squeaky Luv the (F) train 💕
ღMari Oharaღ I used to live by Prospect Park on the B, Q and S lines but I moved to President St on the 2 and 5 lines
When I was little
+Luftschlange You needn`t apologise! When watching your J line footage, I suspected your superbly focussed filming a godsend for documenting the looks and feel of the neighbourhoods plied by the trains, especially once I saw how the locale around Queensboro station being busted up by redevelopment when happening upon your corresponding footage there :)
love the video cool. New York subways are the best
Oh Brooklyn trains, you amaze me.

you should do the east 180 street station. it has a pretty nice turn for the 2 and the 5 train.

Great movie!
4:18 ALL THE WAY TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOON *cOUGH*
XD
Great video
Thanks!
+Luftschlange i said nice video.
+Luftschlange did you say it to the both of us?
Luftschlange ?
I Would Like to See you do a Video on this block Where you Can See F and Q Race into the Stillwell ave Station it's on West 12th St 1 Block West of the Station going towards Stillwell Station.
love ur vids
The noise isn’t as bad. Never really was.
when i was at that station. i was on the lower level. besides.i heard the q train above me. it was an R160B q train
Nice video
Will you produce a video of the hi line?
The white marks on the wheel look like a loading sign
What is the structure without tracks in the foreground at 1:40? Excellent video, as always.
That's a good question. It looks like the support for an abandoned track connection from the lower level of the station to the Brighton Line. I'm not sure.
+Luftschlange I don't believe there was ever track there. It just looks like a support for the two levels of the station. Don't need 4 trains crashing into the street.
+Lawrence Keesler It's construction for NYC's new high speed maglev
LOL
According to Peter Dougherty in 'Tracks New York City Subway 2011', a book with track diagrams (www.nyctrackbook.com) , this is a quote, I hope acceptable to Peter.
"Outer abandoned trackways beyond W. 8th St. once connected the lower-level Culver line to the Brighton line at Ocean Parkway as shown. This connection was removed in July, 1956."
I, Aarre, don't know nor believe that they were ever in revenue service; they were probably just for extra operational flexibility. Anyone want to comment on this?
Many disused trackbeds on els are still in place apparently because their structural beams can't be removed without weakening the overall contiguous structure. This however doesn't explain why so much redundant el structure still exists just up Myrtle Ave. from the Myrtle-Broadway station; that could have been removed without danger to the remaining els, as it's so far away. Perhaps future planning in case it is needed for a future ramp to somewhere else ????

Opening seems to be taken from 8 st bridge to beach 😢was taken out by doomberg
It's west 8th street not 8th ave
What's on that f train
0:08 Do you mean W 8 St?
I remember when the D ran where the Q runs now.
4:18 that's why R46's rarely use this line. Residents complained because of the noise those things made.
Matthew Smith I don't really hear anything at 4:18
@@michaelmorales1475 Just before it. The curve into West Eighth street is so tight that the R46's would create so much noise (and the incredible slow down) just to get in.
some nyc police officers haven't found in carnival by accident and duty politicians everywhere
0:22 Is Chelsea Piers one of them?
Heritage
The fly over, please tell us how old it is, because they will proably have too replace all that steel, in say another 50 odd years. My point I wonder how they replace the flyovers when they become to racked too use what ever way they rebuild it's going the cost billions I'm wondering if they'll will go underground or rebuild the flyovers. Because they'll have to do something anyone know what the future plain is going to be, please tell us all who do not know thanks
Haha 8th Ave good one lol
also,nice video:)
4:27-4:30 the hird would like to take the F train XD
