⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ NYC Subway Front Window View - The J Line to Jamaica Center 

yeah no kidding, if i was the operator knowing me id just slur my speech and stutter lol

Thanx. I wondered if the announcements were from the conductor or prerecord. Now I know.

Thomas Mann Union jobs dipshit. He can’t get fired unless he does something incredibly stupid. And they have securities. So it’s definitely a permanent job.

fred They’re keeping their 3rd generation metric units, protocol are always gonna be traditionally.

@@augsnow2067 sarcasm isnt your strongpoint is it?

@fred He can’t be fired cause theres this train conductor who raps every time the train reaches to the station.

Indrukwekkende infrastructuur inderdaad.

4:09 - The old tracks that used to go to the Manhattan Bridge switches off to the right down that dark tunnel.

OG`s Fishroom if you look closely you can see the blue walls to the left for a new bridge, they are starting a rehab project

ok its about time lol

YO WTF WHEN

"Bridge" There's no bridge being built. There can't be any time of bridge in the station, unless I'm mistaken. They're most likely cleaning and repairing the platform.

And has for...what decade is it? Easily 30 years.

He said it correctly. I caught that.

You’re not the only one, bud. I like riding on subways and using my bike to get around the city. 🚇🚲🗽🏙🍎

"Hi, RU-vid!"

Which dude? I missed it...the wino in the beginning or the weird dude , smiling and taking pics at the end of the platform?

@@fbernard08 May have been a rail fan :) I too take pictures of trains and trams and lots do.

at least we know he's happy thats good, it's better to see somebody smiling then trying to look cool and frown

why would it still use old signals once cbtc is done?

@@metromannyc6033 what does cbtc mean or stand for

CJ The Reactor Communication-Based Train Control.

@@metromannyc6033 lol who cares

why do you always reply to my comments?

if you do get a job at the MTA then you get about 63 sick days a year or possibly even more since everyone there is in a union

I dont know since I dont work for the MTA but here in london if you work for TfL, work for a bus operator which runs a Tfl Operated route in your garage then you get free travel on TfL Services so I assume that if you work for the MTA then you get free travel on MTA Services

@Derrick Tan You get an employee I.D metrocard that lets you into the system for free. All nyct subway lines and bus routes are free except express buses and you get an option of either metro north to be free or L.I.R.R you cant choose both.

R 4 2 Sorry to hear about your death..

Did they replace the R32 cars with something the same size (length and width) and number of doors? Given what I've heard about how certain lines and stations are paired based on car design, I imagine they didn't have much leeway there.

I always wondered about that area of the Delancy Street station! I used that station a lot when I lived there! I was always fascinated by the subway and the various sites of former platforms. I always wanted to explore the freedom tunnel but never did it.

I remember that area My Dad (recently passed away) Worked the J line for nearly 35 years showed me that old terminal

Glad you enjoy them!! 😁 To be technically accurate, it isn’t a cab video, but a video taken out of the passenger-accessible front window. Anyone can have this view if they ride the J train 😊

Dj Hammers And an amazing view it is too. Thanks for clearing that up - and thanks again for all your uploads!

I love RFW videos!

3:21 most beautiful train station in Ohio

But do you miss the taxes ? I love new York too but it's expensive.

@@j340_official to be honest with you, it seems like taxes are getting higher every where you go . In fact, everything seems to be getting higher nowadays . I now live in the south and a one bedroom apartment goes for about $850 a month . Sad thing is, I remember when that same one bedroom apartment used to cost about $350 a month to rent and it wasn't that long ago .

@@JamesDLegend2070 fair point, there is inflation no doubt. but $850 is still far better than the $3000+ in Manhattan.

@@j340_official apartments in Manhattan are $3000+ but, the scary part is that, there are one bedroom apartments around here that can go for $2100+ . It depends on which neighborhood you go to . And, we don't have half the stuff that Manhattan has . I say that to say this: I pay less rent now than I paid when I was up there but, there's really nothing to do here . It's kind of worth it to pay those high taxes because of everything that you have access to .

@@JamesDLegend2070 true that New York has hella things to do. A lot of culture. No place like New York. But the thing with life is: tradeoffs. Unless you’re super rich.

Me too

I know right

I hate the 4 and q

shof515 no

He's filming. He's not the motorman of the train.

can you follow the train CJ?

@@simuresquiner3633 I will when I start playing GTA sa

Since my last ride on the R42 in December 2017, there were ONLY 40 cars left on this line. (5 eight-car sets)

No because of the MTA fucking the l service

Trains on the L have a transverse cab making the POV impossible !

NOT all of the stations are ADA accessible, therefore I suggest you go to MTA website www.mta.info and download a PDF of the subway map and study which ones are ADA. MTA is slowly renovating the stations so that they ALL will be.

officialmcdeath It is unused but the occasional out of service train or full service train (it’s rare) do use those tracks to skip those in between stops. I thought those express tracks weren’t used until one day a train was flying down them😂

I agree with you. They should run express to Broadway junction

Um no. My stop is right after Myrtle. I hate walking through myrtle. The Z train should run express tho

dgigante There is no other service that can replace J/Z service between Myrtle and Broadway Jct. There is skip-stop Service there though.

Many years ago there were more services available on that line. Myrtle Ave trains originated at Chambers, Jamaica trains had express and local service originating at Broad, Chambers, or Canal, and a Broadway Brooklyn local originating at Canal Street, some of which went to the Canarsie Line. Because of all these services, some trains ran express from Marcy all the way to Broadway Junction.

It used to when I was a kid. The train was called the JJ and it ran to 168th Street but was torn down in the late 70s when they built the tunnel to Jamaica Center. There used to be a K train that ran local to Broadway Junction and the JJ would do the full express run.

An express service between Myrtle Avenue and Eastern Pkwy would be unfeasible unless you want those stations to service every 8-10 minutes (6-7.5 trains per hour). If you want express service on this stretch at decent headways, you would need to double the service between Myrtle Avenue and Eastern Pkwy, which is impossible due to the M using the local tracks north of Myrtle Avenue, unless you want Myrtle Avenue riders to also receive poor service levels (the capacity limit on the Williamsburg Bridge is 24 trains per hour). For this reason, it is better to build the South 4th Street Subway so that the 3-track Jamaica Avenue El section over Broadway is replaced with 4 track underground subways offering express service on both Myrtle Avenue and along Broadway.

?

It’s because of speed limits and it’s aging infrastructure

Possibly yes

Alex The everything fan great

Both run as a skip-stop service. Whatever stations the Z doesn't stop at the J will and vice versa.

The J actually is express between Myrtle Avenue and Marcy Avenue every weekday during rush hours. The Z is also express but it skips some stops that the J train stops at.

A part of each station is still being used

Because of a crash in the 1950s-1970s

@@user-acs64 I thought those weirdly pleased was placed after the 1995 crash? Maybe there was also "crashes" and accidents in the 60's-80's but have not heard of any.
