One day Amtrak will electrify the Hartford line to Springfield… one day…..
Excellent footage
I think all of the trolleys will eventually come back, but this is certainly a start and SEPTA did great restoring these!
I've heard from reputable sources that 8 are currently operational and SEPTA still plans to finish overhauling the other 10. At some point the service should be entirely PCCs again!
Great Video!
I Love the GE e60c2 ❤
Same here! I just HAD to make the trek to see the last ones in operation! 😁
Compliments on your dedication and hard work on the Awesome visual footage of the various stations along the Far Rockaway route. I had the privilege of residing near the Inwood and Far Rockaway stations. 👍👍
Great video
[2:01] "VALLEY" Interlocking: LIRR's Far Rockaway, West Hempstead and Long Beach Branches merge west at Valley Stream Station. LIRR's Montauk Branch skim pass these branches east at Valley Stream.
Wonderful, unusual, different from most vids which look up the track from the front cab. A work of love for the Train which I too share, its beloved funkyness, the true human communion in congregation of NYC!
The Wellington station is actually Belmont
Though you are correct that the station visible in the video is Belmont Station, the video was taken from Wellington Station (technically just outside).
Is there no r160?
They're uncommon on the Q nowadays. Most of them were swapped to the F, G, and R services a few years ago in anticipation of the activation of CBTC on the Queens Blvd Line.
The underdog branch.
DANFORTH AVE
Thanks for visiting my home line!
Happy to do so! It's a fun one to ride 😁
@@mvcrailphotos sure is!
Great video, really well put together!
Thank you! I had quite a fun time recording it too 😁
Great video and shows just how far the DLR has been extended since I first saw it back in the 90s. It has truly brought that area back to life and a great innovation. I found the background chatter a bit intrusive, but nevertheless a great video (especially on a tv).
Thanks! I'd never ridden it that far out before, which was quite enjoyable. I was also hoping for less background chatter, but the train filled up at ExCeL and I wasn't about to get off and try again...
The child is precious
Nice work buddy
I really enjoyed this, nice compilation.
Thank you! :-D

0:46-0:50 I’ve been to that McDonald’s before, and then the ride to First Street Station is surprisingly short; only a few seconds
I was in Miami during the March break (around the day this video was published). I rode the Metromover, but I was frustrated because it took a long time for the doors to close
That was definitely surprising to me too! It was a fun little system otherwise.
Oh how I miss the R38s
Thanks for posting. I lived near the Culver 'F' Line and remember when the R-1/9s were in use, up until about 1972-73. Prior to 11/1967 the Culver 'D' Line was all R-1/9s.
Man, I would love to have been around to see all that! Glad the transit museum has done such a good job keeping these historic cars running at least :-D
I was in Miami last month and rode on the metromover. Only thing I didn't like about it is that it's notorious for breaking down and sometimes, you have to wait like forever for the doors to close.
I remember the doors taking surprisingly long to close too! Thankfully I didn't experience any breakdowns though.
Pretty much the metromover has shown it’s age through the years and I remember when this used to be a little faster even when they used to have the older cars. But I heard they’re getting some refurbishments to This system and possibly extending it.
I missed out on the opportunity to ride the metromover during my trip in miami 😕 i was right near the station with the basketball courts. Anything beats Boston's train system. Don't come up here expecting a short commute. Rail work won't be done until the end of 2025. Shuttle buses replacing every train line for weeks on end....best not get carried away. I miss visiting miami Brickell is beautiful 🥲
The man in the trench makes the scene
I’ve been on the DLR lots of times and I still like riding on them.
It's always enjoyable, especially when you can snag one of the front seats!
😊
It's nice to know that London has adopted the classic American concept of light rail transit. Of course, the possibility does exist that WE adopted it from THEM...
Now I'm curious where the first tram/trolley was, and later the first of what could definitively be called light rail... Hmm...
The train to no where.....
Ha! It seems like it's mainly just a commuter service to and from the ferry during the week.
It's actually Martin Luther King Drive, not Martin Luther King Boulevard.
It used to be MLK Blvd; it has been pointed out to me that many of the station names I used in these videos are outdated. The system map on Wikipedia, which I referenced for these videos, is definitely out of date.
Omg man, foamers😐🙄
Ha! I would've been upset if I were taking a photo, but the spectacle of it on video is quite entertaining!
Actually, the first stop out of Hoboken is called simply Newport. It hasn't been called Pavonia-Newport for a few years now. This is because Pavonia Avenue no longer exists as such within the Newport development; the street was renamed Town Square Place a number of years ago. Also, the stop before Exchange Place is referred to as simply Harborside, although of course it serves the Harborside Financial Center. However, the onboard announcements still call both stations by their old names.
Interesting. Then the map I saw on Wikipedia needs updating.
The Urban Mass Transit Administration in the 1970s Awarded 3 US Cities to develop People Mover systems which went to Detroit, Jacksonville and Miami. Out of the three only Miami was able to make it a success by tying it into the city's Metrorail system. The view from the front is fantastic!
It is a pretty nice ride, and you're right it really only makes sense as a local distributor for the Metrorail. Jacksonville and Detroit could potentially increase ridership by putting parking garages near the stations, incentivizing people to drive in and take the people mover around downtown. I did hear that Jacksonville's system is going to be closing soon though...
@@mvcrailphotos UGH! Don't get me started on Jacksonville and their Transit systems! They could be given a Subway and wouldn't know how to Operate it!
Bruh why did they list it as a in service one train if it's just gonna ship all the local stops?
Well the original intention was for it to operate as a local the entire way from Chambers St to 137th St, but due to the crowds on the first day it was changed to run express on the local track so that it wouldn't delay actual 1 trains.
@@mvcrailphotos Was it at least rerouted onto the Express tracks at any point?
@@robotx9285 No, because it needed to be on the local track at Chambers St to go to South Ferry to turn, and needed to be on the local track at 96th St to continue up Broadway. Any switching would've just interfered with 2/3 service.
I know that the WTC station is the most important on the PATH system, but it's by far my least favorite. I just can't stand that place. It once took me over 20 minutes just to find the Greenwich Street exit, and I ended up in the same place four times. I try to avoid the place whenever I can.
I agree that it's unreasonably hard to navigate, unless you're transferring from the Subway to the PATH. I've had to use the Apple store to exit to Greenwich St from PATH!
These PCCs are still going strong. But once the Green Line's Type 10s arrive, they plan to transfer the Type 9s to the Mattapan Trolley.
That's interesting... The MBTA recently refurbished one of the PCCs, so I would be curious what the future plan is for them.
@@mvcrailphotos the refurbishment is supposed to keep them in service for another 7-8 years. My guess is that the refurbished ones will stay for a bit longer than the ones not refurbished.
Magnificent catches of the train coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, my friend, Greetings from Portugal to the USA

Looks like a funeral with the grieving in procession.
Over a half-century in revenue service, it basically is a funeral.

Great show.

While the 4109 sounds awesome, 6007 sounds like a goose slowly dying lol.
I went to all of them :)
Nice! I missed the last weekend since I was out of town, but it was a great time every day I was there!
@@mvcrailphotos yep
Isn’t this the worst line?
In some people's opinions maybe, I don't really have a strong opinion about whether the Z is a good line or a bad line. Granted I do miss when it was R42s with the (Z) bullet on the front!
6:43 Get off your phone, nigga! Your job is to look for criminals, not sext your baby mama!
Only the BU cars can run on IRT with the R10/R16 Irt version these are the R12/R17 trains which is the TOMM Train of many colors. BU Cars when running on IRT museum train service these must end at the last elevated station before a tunnel section
Very good, thanks.
So good to see them again!
Awesome bonus content!
