New York & Atlantic Railway RS-90 on the Bushwick Branch

My friend James and I made an early Sunday morning trip up through the hustling and bustling area of New York City to make an attempt and catching one of the many jobs run by the New York & Atlantic Railroad
The NY&AR serves many business and runs several jobs 7 days a week on Long Island and the New York Metro area, interchanging with several railroads, including CSX and P&W, and one of the Sunday jobs is RS-90, which serves Manhattan Beer and Waste Managment along the Bushwick Branch, which runs through several neighborhoods of Queens, navigating under buildings, through alleys and some very urban areas.
We find the RS-90 as they reverse down the branch after picking up a few boxcars at Manhattan Beer and shoving across Metropolitan Avenue in Queen's Ridgewood neighborhood with leased CITX GP38-2 402 and PR20B 300 for power, They are seen soon after pulling a long string of USWX empties from Waste Management across Woodward Avenue and then across Maspeth's Flushing Avenue before we called it an early day due to unforeseen circumstances. Enjoy!

If I am correct on my NYC subway history, if you follow the Bushwick branch to its western stub end at Bushwick and Montrose Avenues, that was how the BMT was able to get subway cars into the western end of the 14th Street line before the eastern section was completed to connect it to the Canarsie line at Broadway Junction. A temporary ramp was built to send the cars onto the newly constructed tracks that were ready to begin revenue service.

@Bluesky65 4 года назад

pretty sure that was actually the south Brooklyn railway, that's how the BMT got there geometry cars and work trains.

Are there any route maps for NYAR? I see the tracks all over Ridgewood, Bushwick and East New York. I've always wondered where they intersect and branch off to all the areas this rail line covers

Morgan Avenue Brooklyn New York Just off of Johnson Avenue near Newtown Creek.

@bohemoth1 2 года назад

There are still an active track for freight trains on Morgan Avenue near Newtown Creek in Brooklyn New York. Can you please do a video about it? We actually got stuck when a Locomotive was pulling ten freight cars across Morgan Avenue. There's a firehouse on Morgan Avenue which is Engine Company 237. You can stop by their quarters and ask them about the 1965 LUMBER YARD FIRE. It was a great BIG CONFLAGRATION with flames shooting over two HUNDRED feet high. Actually it was the FDNY'S SUPER PUMPER'S first fire, which didn't belong to the fire DEPARTMENT yet. It was going through a shakedown trial on Welfare ISLAND which was the fire Department's training school.

This is amazing, I thought that train track was going to be torn down. I'm glad it wasn't.

How great to see freight train movements on NYC streets !

@jamessurace8217 4 года назад

Instead of strictly using for freight, why can't NYAR create a passenger line that utilizes the Bay Ridge branch that runs from Fresh Pond all the way thru Bay Ridge? Or the Lower Montauk Branch that used to service the LIRR? I am sick and tired of looking at the poorly-maintained and dirty NYC subway cars. These diesel trains look so much more interesting and would probably run at a more efficient speed.

@JerichoWhiskey 4 года назад

A passenger line utilizing the tracks from the Bronx to Bay Ridge has been discussed for years called Triboro X.

Awesome. I run up and down Metropolitan Avenue a lot but haven't caught any movements. One of these days - but this excellent video will suffice for now. I was a kid living near the Fresh Pond yard (late 50's early 60's). Man that was a busy place - back in the day. Thanks.

@sheilatrachtenberg8997 4 года назад

Thanks - I like this video - with it's freight train in an urban setting. Bit it would be nice if the railroad could grade separate like the New York Central did in Manhattan.

Ny and atlantic has beautiful paint schemes compared to Long island passenger blue and yellow. I liked when LIRR was orange and grey

Why is titled NY&A when a CIT is front engine?

@trainutjob 4 года назад

joe r NYAR is the railroad, they are just leasing the CIT Geep.

@1atech 4 года назад

But, doesn't the NY&A have many new engines (ecofriendly ones) from about 2-3 years ago?

@1atech 4 года назад

I know. Why are they leasing an engine if they have their own?

@1atech 4 года назад

I just assumed that the NY&A would have enough engines since there aren't as many freight customers as in the 1960's when the LIRR was used. ie central branch in Lindenhurst.

@mychemicalbromance97 4 года назад

many railroads lease engines long term, too. Indiana Rail Road leases all of their SD90MACs from CIT and it's not uncommon to see one of the blue CIT lettered locomotives on an Indiana Rail Road train. Sometimes they just need a lease engine for short term while some of their own engines are in maintenance and sometimes they need them long term if they have an increase in traffic and not enough power to haul it.

This is within the city itself, though NYA runs out to the suburban counties of Nassau & Suffolk, too.

@ogragan3492 4 года назад

Why are those conductors walking and flagging the crossings while going short nose forward with working lights and bells on the crossing ? Very unnecessary and a waste of time just do your whistle sequence and proceed with caution sheesh haha

@jaysmith1408 4 года назад

OG Ragan thank you! So now a motorist sees either the engine coming, or the crossing lights, and stops. They now have to wait for a less than enthusiastic engine to pull up, stop, the conductor to walk up to the crossing, stop, the train to pull up, stop, then leave. Until the conductor reaches the crossing, running the crossing is fair game, thereby defeating the entire point of the warning.

@mattheww2797 3 года назад

Its required under federal law

@ogragan3492 3 года назад

@@mattheww2797 yeah for a MALFUNCTIONING or OOS crossing it is hell even while riding the end of a shove thru a lighted/gated crossing you dont stop you convey the condition of the crossing to the hogger as you uproach and as you fully occupy the crossing .....
