This film focuses on the (L) Train, which runs on the 14th Street Line in Manhattan and then crosses the East River to continue along the Canarsie Line in Brooklyn until it terminates at Rockaway Parkway.
The (L) train is currently the only line in New York City, which uses automatic train operation (other lines, such as the IRT Flushing Line are in the process of being upgraded). This makes the (L) train quite fast and fun to ride.
This film shows some (L) Train action, first at Lorimer Street in Williamsburg, but most of the film focuses on 14th Street-Union Square, 6th Avenue, and 8th Avenue stations in Manhattan.
Enjoy!
Filmed on June 15th, 2015

The automated announcer lady does sound a bit funny, but it's probably the best announcement system I've ever heard. Impossible to mis-hear, ev over the hustle and bustle of fellow commuters, and that's why I love it (the voice, that is).

I rode the L train as a kid. I always took it to union square to transfer to the 4 5 and 6 to grand central for my junior elementary school, and to bleecker street for junior fitness practice. After junior elementary, I took the L to 8th ave to transfer to the A C and E to 23rd street or penn station for my senior school until I moved to NJ in 2008. By then, they were still introducing the R160's. Too bad the L got Alstom ones, like the one in the beginning. Long live the R42 L train. The R143 is still a nice train though.

The only thing the (L) needs is a 10th Avenue extension, but it would have far stop spacing to make up for the line being 2-track. The new stations are: - 72nd Street - Amsterdam Avenue (1)(2)(3) - Hell's Kitchen - 57th Street - 42nd Street (7) - Hudson Yards - 34th Street (7) - High Line - 23rd Street (7) - 14th Street - 10th Avenue (7)

Hello, I was wondering how warm it can get on the platforms in NYC and how warm it gets in the cars? Do they have AC?

@Luftschlange 8 лет назад

+Martin Kong Owald They do have AC, which is rather strong. As a result you freeze inside the cars and due to the exhaust heat of the ACs which is blown into the tunnels and platforms, the platforms can become uncomfortably hot.
