Keeping Subway riders moving is a 24/7 job. Road Car Inspectors are stationed throughout our system, ready to respond to and resolve train emergencies of all kinds. Find out more about what they do.
Reggie was one of the FEW people I’ve come across in my 16 years as a Train Operator who actually cared about getting things fixed. If only the MTA had more Reggie’s the place would be a total Joy to work for. But far too many people don’t give a crap and that’s a shame. Happy Retirement Reggie, you are missed.
Eddie Murray just watching this video Reggie looks like an all around cool fun caring loving individual can’t wait for transit to fall me back to I can be like that I get things done whole heartily
Well they don't fix these cars, just preservice them or take out of service if they malfunction. Car inspectors do dirty work such as inspections, maintenance or fix them.
Those guys deserve to be paid really well, the amount of responsibility that they have is tremendously demanding. Its cool that they actually like their job too, that means they’ll put their 💯 always... and stunning to know he comes all the way from JERSEY to queens.

MTA Bee-line new flyer producions isn’t the reason for the removal of r62s from the 7 signal changes? Like the r62s were not compatible with the new signals.
Amazing of how Road Car Inspectors work very hard when trains had to be checked before using it for commuters / riders to ride on trains (whether it's from the alphabets or numbers).
I was an RCI for about two years with NYCT...I was stationed on the B and D lines in Bedford Park Bronx..And then I went to the A C line on 207 St.Bronx...I was a Yard RCI before I transferred to another MTA agency...
I do it every Wednesday from Newark. NJ transit to Penn Station then the LIRR to Flushing. About 45 minutes to an hour. But it all depends on the part of Jersey you're coming from.
@@ninofromkitchennightmares1497 Cause I'm already at Penn Station the LIRR is right there. And with perfect timing, it's only 5 to 10 minutes between trains within the same station. By doing that my commute is 42 minutes.
@@jaydottt_transitfanner Um does that really matter with my grammar? Now I think that the New York subway is one of the most unique. Plus I did not write that! So fuck off! It’s like one year no one cares lol! *The user’s comment up there is cringe*
Ok so I don’t get this the R142/A and R188 subway train trucks are always coming to a giant stop that doesn’t keep my balance on I get that these are old like 20 years old but come on, there are subway cars in Philadelphia that are 20 years old and don’t have the issue
Experience fixing stuff is a good start. Hire on in the repair shops, get familiar with the running stock, I mean really familiar with it. Learn how to find problems and fix them, then you'll be ready to go out and do field inspections, detecting problems on equipment that you are familiar with.
There should not be any zip ties or duct tape holding a train together but if you do see a train with duct tape or zip ties holding some part of a train together MTA does advised customers to contact them immediately so they can get that train off the road to a maintenance facility tweet mta at @NYCTSUBWAY on twitter also take a picture of the zipties and what its holding and include the car number and what line it's on
@@DTD110865 awesome if you notice anymore issues or problems or something that doesn't sound right on the subway car note the car number direction of travel and description of problem and best way to report an issue tweet the mta at @NYCTSUBWAY
@@stevegn02 FYI, that was a while back, and I already reported the exact car, direction, and what not. But if I see another problem, I will report it again.
Derek Liang Normally, proposals like this not only do they not relate to the topic or road car inspectors, they also do jot belong here on the MTA channel. However, there is actually a simple process to bring both of them back: New track connections to be built: -A two track connection between the Nassau Street Line and the 8th Avenue Line under Spring Street (or some other Street in SoHo) -A connection under the East River linking the Whitehall Street station with the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop (outer tracks and platforms reactivated). -A connection between the Fulton Street Line and the Jamaica Line, allowing for the demolition of the elevated structure in East NY (this structure is used by the J). Stations also to be lengthened. For capacity simplicity, all individual services will run at 12 trains per hour. With this, 8th Avenue service is modified. The M would move to 8th Avenue and become the K, making the C go express. The C would also swap with the D north of 59th Street to preserve express service north of 145th on both branches. This allows for deinterlining of 59th Street. In addition, the E service to World Trade Center would be discontinued. Instead, the E would be paired with the K and take over the J train in Brooklyn, with the E to Metropolitan Avenue and the K to Broadway Junction (or the other way around). The J would now terminate at Essex Street (rebuilt for terminating trains). For service to Canal Street, transfer at West 4th Street. On 6th Avenue, the extra slot would then be take over by the V, which would now operate as a Culver Express overlay of the F during weekdays. On weekends, service terminates at 2nd Avenue. On Queens Blvd, we will see a deinterline of the 63rd Street connection, in tandem with the CBTC refitting. Here, the E and K take the Express tracks, and the F and V local. East of 71st Avenue, the E and V take Archer and the F and K take Hillside. To handle the increased service, both branches will be extended further to Queens Village and Rosedale. On the BMT side, Broadway would also get a deinterline as well. N and Q service goes via 2nd Avenue, while the R and W goes to Astoria. To handle the increased service, the Astoria Line would get extended to LaGuardia Airport. Meanwhile, the R and W would no longer go to South Brooklyn. Instead, both would be rerouted into the Fulton Street Line local tracks with the R going to Euclid Avenue and the W taking over the J to Jamaica Center. C service can go express to Lefferts Blvd and the A goes to Far Rockaway Only. The Jamaica Avenue Elevated will be demolished. Finally on 4th Avenue Line, the J would extend to 95th Street. Swap the Q and D. That’s all. Any further changes would grow out of developing plans for the South 4th Street Subway and other projects.
What are the white cover and the shaped metal on the right or left side of each train? And what are they used for and how do trains get power? I just need.
I don't get what you mean by the "white cover and the shaped metal on the right or left side of each train". Though I can answer how the trains of NYC get their power. They have a metal stick extending from the wheels that glide on the third rail, which has electric running through it.
Did MTA know about R142 1175 having graffiti sprayed on some of the electric boxes on the underbody when it was serving as a 4 train to Woodlawn on April 8, 2022?
What is there excuse for not having elevators on Elevated stations, Eminent Domain they tell any building for good of the service GET OUT and build elevators ,

How did you guys still have R62A 7 Trains at the time?
They probably placed those R62's on the 1 and 3 train lines. The rail yards that house those train's still use them.
Stuntdevil 84 The R62As seen here have been reassigned to use on the 6.
Ok so I don’t get this the R142/A and R188 subway train trucks are always coming to a giant stop that doesn’t keep my balance on I get that these are old like 20 years old but come on, there are subway cars in Philadelphia that are 20 years old and don’t have the issue
well the trains have strong brakes and a lot of horsepower what do you expect

How do.they re rail a train in a subway?
Slowly and carefully. Using jacks, and some other equipment that lets them shift things sideways.

Um theres no R62A 7 trains anymore
Then clearly the video was taken before they were moved to other lines.
What about that story that came out on the Daily post? About conductors Being scared of the speed not trusting the breaks
How does this relate to RCI?
This was addressed before in their SPEED unit video
Nice.
Could do with rebranding those dull sad looking trains from inside out, as they looked tired and warm out.
Ummm... don't you mean *rail* car?
