Here we see a pair of R32s, as well as the two retired R17/R21/R22 Continous Welded Rail trains, being transferred off of MTA property and then by NYNJ Rail from the South Brooklyn Railway 2nd Avenue Yard to NYNJ Rail's 65th Street Yard. NYNJ rail operates street-running trackage over 1st Avenue in South Brooklyn. Once they arrive at 65th Street Yard, they'll be transloaded to flatcars and brought out of the city to Ohio for scrapping. This is one of the longest trains we have seen running down 1st Avenue in a LONG time!
Enjoy this rare view of the end of an NYC Subway car's life!
Highlights:
00:00 Leaving the Yard
02:59 Crossing 3rd Avenue
05:10 Street Running on 1st Avenue
07:33 Drilling in 65th Street Yard

As a Train Service Supervisor, thank you for your contributions, and thank you for the warning at the bottom of the video about staying out of non public areas. I can't tell you how many people have been hurt or worse doing that kind of stuff. Stay safe out here.

@DanknDerpyGamer 10 месяцев назад

Indeed - it's incredible how many people underestimate the power of an oncoming train (and/or underestimate, if not are oblivious to) the danger of the third rail (or on railroad where applicable, overhead catenary)). Damn, even though my railfanning is always in public places, some of the public locations I've found being safe doesn't stop me from lingering nagging feelings about being safe if that makes any sense. Maybe I just overanalyze things, IDK.

I am old enough to remember when the R32s were new in 1964 and next to the World's Fair R33 and R36 type for service on the 7 line they were the most beautiful subway trains in NYC during the Mad Men era of the 1960s! 😊

@KingofGamingAndTrains456 10 месяцев назад

A video by AKG Transit claims that #3938-3939 has been "officially preserved to replace #3828-3829." In that same video, I also saw #3888-3889, #3894-3895, and #3646-3647. It seems the MTA wants to keep those sets.

@KingofGamingAndTrains456 10 месяцев назад

I do not know what exactly happened that made the MTA give up on #3828-3829 and preserve #3938-3939 instead. My guess is that the latter was determined to be in better condition than the former.

I was really surprised to see R-32 cars 3828-3829 in that consist being sent to an Ohio scrapper. I thought all of them that weren't being saved had already left. I was also surprised that when being pulled through that MTA yard at the beginning of this video, the interior lights were clearly on in those two cars {2:30 to 2:40 on the time bar}. Don't tell me they still have third rail shoes on them. Is there live third rail in that MTA yard or were the lights running on batteries? Hard to imagine that not one rail museum would have loved to get those two R-32 cars. They look to be in nice condition. Did I see roll signs still on them? If so the TA needs to have their heads examined, considering the value of those two cars and the roll signs to collectors and museums. What a missed opportunity !!

After these two R17 CWR cars went, there are only three R17 cars left in existence (6609, 6688, and 6895). I am going to be operating 6688 on 6/27/2024 and 6895 is pretty much a rust bucket now, with missing windows and possibly other interior stuff. I kind of wanted to acquire 6895, but considering how bad of condition it is in and considering I am thinking about building a replica of the never-built R39, I might as well also build an R17 replica as well.

the only slight problem is that for this to happen all the stuff stripped has to be... added back (maybe parts from 6346 and 6348 could be salvaged) and plus the electrical components might need to be redone in a way that only 6349 and 6350 have electricity and not be permenantly attached to the damaged cars (6346-6348)
