Full Length Front of Train Ride on The Morning Rush Hour R160 (Q) Train to Coney Island Stillwell Av 

It was the D train for us when we were kids.... Front car, observing the ride....oh the excitement we'd feel at the first glimpse of amusement park rides..

Hey guys I had to re-upload this video because of a video quality issue with the original. This upload here should fix the pixelation/blurriness especially in the outdoor portion of the line with all the trees. I appreciate all of the comments and support on the original video!! 🙏

The sounds and the sights of the video is superb couldn’t ask for more

Amazing so sound of AC propulsion!

Honestly one of my favorite lines in the MTA! I loved having to go to Kingsborough through this beautiful line (with the B also).

The Q and the R pulling into Dekalb Ave at the same time.

Love that you can hear the announcements too! Great video!

Keep making these man. I've been wanting these for so long...

This footage is awesome!! Thanks for sharing! I rode this train a few times while visiting NYC.

Great JOB! paticularly enjoyed the unique Franklin Ave Shuttle trip---clear and well done

If you need to take the Q train, it is best to not be in a hurry because my goodness it is slow. Excellent video!

Great video! Love the acceleration and de-acceleration sounds of the R160s

thanks to the abundance of lighting underground and to the clever positioning & angling of this lens, superbly spectacular is NY's subway...wow 🍸

thank you for sharing, nice to see the new 2nd ave extension as well as the Brooklyn run too

The express sprint between 34th St. and Union Square has always been brisk. It's one of my favorites.

Awesome! I subscribed. I love full length HQ front view videos of the NYC subway system.

Im just loving these RFW videos with the announcements its like i can railfan any line i want anytime even though i dont live in NY anymore looking forward to what more lines u got coming up hopefully the D line or the 3 & 5

Thanks for the old, familiar ride -- this time from my couch in California

Love those R 32s

OH man, l miss riding the R1-9s and theR-32s over the racetrack back in the day, if you got the railfan window you would truly be in for an experience!!!!!!!

R160,😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

"Wonderful ride love da Brighton Line yes!!!!

I like this video very much 👍🏻 Thank you for your ride. Greetings from Berlin.

This is really cool

amazing!

The glimpse of outside after being in the tunnels for so long felt so good 😂 i was so bored inside without any internet

You have natural sound affects for a horror film. This is great to watch.

Some abandoned tunnels and secret abandoned subway

HOLY CRAP!!!!! How fast is this sucker going between stops????????? I'll get to my destination in no time!!!!!!!

It’s a nice train ride

This is such a W view and you are so lucky that you got to drive an R160 because THESE DAYS I DONT SEE THEM NO MORE ON THE Q

Cool Video! I live by the q train (cortelyou and beverly) stops!

good video !

5 STARS!!!!!

Nice, and its an R160

Interesting. The first few stations have a clean European feel then it's back to the New York Subway look!

This is so exciting

I remember the D running on this line in the early 90's

oh wow cool!

The fact that you got this much accommodation to film in this manner from the MTA is actually surprising. It's a unique view to be sure.

The Alstom ONIX remains one of my all time favorite sounding electric train tractions systems.

THE GANGSTA THUMBNAIL! XD

Great upload. Hopefully you can get the D line (Bronx to Coney Island) or the 3 Line (Harlem to New Lots Ave)

My stop is Neck Road. Live 5 minutes away. Very cool.

First stop is where I am 😀😀😀

This is awesome. You want to go over the top? Take the peg style stop board that is on the advertisement board inside the car, onto the screen and follow the dots like the tourists have to do every time they jump on the trains. Ha ha... That would be cool.

Reminds me of the movie mimic 🤘🏾

Im like, what the heck is that green thing on, my upper left TV!!! 🐸 Scared me, but on closer examining, realized at was the channels😄

I remember when the M train was this line

the multi-station catch-up to that B train reminds me express services seeming more decongestive than much else on- or off-island there

39:33 AKG MATT done caught lackin

I love your video! Give me good memories about NYC! Last time I visit was before the pandemic! Also that’s perfect angle, you work for MTA? I was curious how you set the camera in the front so perfect 😊

Have to connect those completed sections between 96 and 125 st . they have been sitting unused since the 70’s when the city was broke.

😍😍😍😍👍👍👍

Great videos! Would you be able to film the return trip?

43:36 it's now Newkirk Plaza formerly Newkirk Avenue.

This would be the train featured in the movie - the Warriors (1979).

Passing my the stops I use every day

27:59 Announcement Mashup!

Funny that you almost caught the B at Sheepshead that overtook you a long time ago lol.

So a Subway train when they depart from there terminus stop they use the buzzer but was they continue there destination they don’t use it? How does the engineer knows when to go?

Would have been better if the diamond plate didn't take up 1/3 of the screen

I don't know how you managed to leave the camera outside the train without it falling because of the speed of the train

That was extremely good animation. Is that from photography into computer graphics ? I really liked to see the tunnel bulkheads from 19:20 to 19:30 where the original north two tunnels of the N train are closed off as we go from the north 2 tunnels to the south 2 tunnels of the 4 under this part of Canal St before the Manhattan Bridge approach. In the old days, we would have gone onto the north two tracks of the Manhattan Bridge, and the south two bridge tracks would have gone to Chambers St. When the Christie St connection was built, it took the two north bridge tracks, and now we are shuffled over to the south two bridge tracks. The old south tunnels are still behind these bulkheads, but without tracks; A little further, the Christie St IND tracks curve into them. I love track layouts, operations, routings, and history of the structures. The only thing that could have been better is a bit more ditch lights shining on the tracks in the tunnels, but I guess this is the best that it was illuminated; I could see the track layout, and exquisite tunnel details !

Great video! We need more of these with the corner cabs gone. I’m assuming your a motorman?

100M/100m On Dis Video MAn!

The stations are 1/2 mile apart and no express track (BRAIN SURGERY)

Dare you to up a 6 line local run! And u might steal my sub from that other notable channel…

I have been looking for a view like this for the longest time! Do you have any others??

19:21 looks like they did some corrections

4:50 Lexington Avenue 59 Street transfer

Good stuff. Shame the bottom third is blocked by the step though.

How in the world did you stick the camera to the front of that train

The R160s made the Q line so much faster and reliable, now the R46s ruined it :(

Can you do the R160 W

What kind of camera did you use for this and how did you set it up so well on the front of the train?

Very nice video. How did they let you put your camera right ridge just outside the train? How is the camera mounted, as it appears very secure and the images are steady and not jerky due to the track vibration?

Can you do one for the D line too? :D

Do the W train to 86 st plz

Bring back the 32s...........

im scared and suprised about the fact that this is a r160 q train and not a r68 or i think the r41

Not the dump and recharge at At 44:15

Right at 36:00 is where the biggest loss of life on the nyc subway happened on the track on the right.

These railcars sound like the brakes are always engaged. 🤷🏻‍♂️

37:34

Wait why he went into emergency at newkirk?

Me: "I notice very little graffiti along the way; what stops vandals from doing their thing??" Subway:"Watch starting at 19:25 and pay attention."

Whats that sound at 0:02

Question-- you don't get in trouble or any strange looks for placing your camera? There's nothing wrong with what you're doing, but if someone placed a device on the front of a train, I'd like to know that it'd be investigated lol

Do you have permission to put ur camera by the front of the train? Jw

The canal street to dekalb takes too long and should be looked into

The stations are too far apart: There should have been a 91st Street station (the 1 once had one), a 79th Street station, and maybe even a 68th Street station as well.

What is that 😮

Subcribe to AKG Matt He's @ 39:32 lol

is it me or new tunnel make it louder

Too bad you don’t make videos anymore showing the anti climber which I prefer much more like tbjs

Neat trick with the camera position. Makes it hard to see the 200 lb thug bash the 110 lb octogenarian for shits and giggles.

video can be better. Bad shot

Where are the people pushed in front of the train by DeBlasio and his BLM family?
