You know this a veteran operator by the speed going thru the BX. I also know this was recorded on a Wednesday as I know normally on Wednesdays they be doing this track maintenance cause service to skip stops in the BX.

@lamargoat2.054 2 месяца назад

That is nowhere close to a veteran's operation speed. They would've never slowed down approaching freeman on the middle track, Rocking past that station at about 45 mph

Thanks for sharing this video of the 2 line. I have great memories on this line getting on at either 225 and 219 Streets when I lived in the area 45 years ago. Now, i live near the 5 Dyre Ave line what was known as The Dinky. Back in the day, the 2 line was known as the Beast when it ran to New Lots Ave, Brooklyn up until 1983 when the switch was made between 2/5 and 3/4 lines.

@oeleyinafe 2 месяца назад

My first time taking the 2 was when it still had R33 cars from the 5 train. 149th Street-Grand Concourse was the stop where my parents, brothers, and I changed from the 4 train (because I lived next to the 4 at Mount Hope Houses) to get on the 2 to 96th Street as a result of a commencement ceremony my eldest brother had from a jesuit Middle School once located north of 96th Street. It was one of a few lines that I took regularly to the Borough of Manhattan Community College after I finished high school in Taft. I now live near both the 2 at East 238th Street-Nereid Avenue and the 5 train at Dyre Avenue, though I prefer taking the 5 train due to the Dyre overpass connecting the Bronx Park section.

@SigmaRho2922 2 месяца назад

Garrett Goble actually lived near the southern terminus of the 2 train at Flatbush Avenue, which has an inadequate platform setup for a terminus station. It is a sister station to the Misakiguchi station on the Keikyu network in that both stations are on lines with aborted expansion plans. The building of the IBX will make congestion at the station even worse and I feel that an extension down Nostrand Avenue with three underground stations at Kings Highway, Avenue S and Avenue Z would help relieve this. My earlier idea was to extend the line to Kings Plaza, but this would overload the B44 bus because it would serve a corridor where bus ridership is not high enough.

Memories! Back in the '50s my dad had a shop on White Plains Road about a block south of Allerton Ave. If he went in on Saturdays for a while he sometimes took me along.

Safety concerns.

Starting at the 28:30 mark as the train takes the curve to the right of way to the tunnel portal, for many decades there were large brick commercial buidings at both sides of the tracks, which included the Loew's National theater at Bergen Ave. By 1979 that entire block was one huge vacant lot. Now we watch this segment and commercial buildings are again at both sides of the tracks.

A noob question from a London Tube Geek: I see from around the 20:00 mark, the train transfers onto the centre track of a 3 track arrangement and that this allows the stations to be bypassed. What about "express" trains going in the other direction. Or does the reverse service simply not exist?

@carlcaulkett3050 2 месяца назад

Or is the centre track bi-directional? The Y junction where the 3 track goes back to 2 track, makes me suspect that it it, and that the express trains are just carefully scheduled not to meet 😉

I can't believe that it took 8min 7sec to get from Newkirk Ave to Flatbush Ave. ! That is pathetic. Now I know why they really have to put in at least 3 tail tracks past the terminal, similar to what is at Norwood 205 St on the D. What were the IRT planners thinking when they designed that ???? Was it a bad day at the office ? The Rogers Junction was also a massive brain fart on someone's part; It would have been so easy for the IRT designers to have done it correct from the get go. Damn ! I loved seeing at least 5 different tunnel types on this trip; different shapes and designs. I loved the fast run through Broadway - 7th Ave on the express track. Deinterlining is really, really needed in my opinion. It would be so easy for Flatbush and New Lots - Utica riders to cross the platform at Franklin Ave - MEC to get Lexington Ave or Broadway trains. That isn't so difficult. Aarre Peltomaa of Mississauga, Ontario
