⁴ᴷ R62A 7 Train being Transferred from Corona Yard to Westchester Yard
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2024
- The remaining R62As on the 7 line are being moved off of the 7 line. In a few weeks, it is entirely likely that the 7 line will be completely made up of R188-type equipment. Here we see a consist of R62A-type cars being transferred from the 7 line to the 6 line. After this set, just two sets of R62As remain in use on the 7 line. Enjoy!

7:51 eye spy a 11 line rollsign lol, nice catch!
TheTransitProductions found it
Yep! Interesting set, indeed.
TheTransitProductions also at 6:17
why did they even make rollsigns with that high of a number anyway
Puckhead_ ...They we're incorporated into the signs in anticipation of any new future routes, express services or expansions. This way, the signs would not have to be removed and replaced if such did occur.
I can only imagine how much money a train operator would make doing a shift like that, imagine being able to pick that as your regular tour?? You did an AMAZING JOB capturing one train and one move!! Excellence!!
Nice video! Sad to see the R62As leaving the 7 Line though, remember riding those when I was younger and that was the only rolling stock the 7 used. So yeah we all need to see it one last time before they are gone for good.
R32 G Crosstown Train , me too. I loved the r62a 7 trains since i was younger too.
R32 G Crosstown Train yeah it's gonna be hard for me as well
Wow That's A Long Route 😀
Farewell to R62A On 7 😓😢
Matthew Osman because all the R62a 7 train are being replaced by the R188 7 train
Matthew Osman because Flushing Line is almost complete with CBTC with all R188 so the R62A cars on 7 will transfer to the 6
they wont, not with cbtc being activated on the line
Computer Base Train Control. It's what the L line has.
Communications Based Train Control
I always wondered how they did that, thanks!
7 train says “ I’m backing up”
3:17 I hear an Amtrak Acela in the background
Flight Simulators Dude me too
Yes. Very interesting. They used a combination of moves from the BMT lines and IND lines to get the 7 train to Westchester Yards and turn them into 6 trains.
Yay, my birthday is this Friday. Happy Snow Day everyone.
Funny watching this as I'm on one right now lol yeah better get your vids and clips soon people!
I wish I had the chance to lol
So satisfying how the IRT connects to the BMT and IND. Idk how though. I just like it
Interesting video I like how you showed the entire route taken by these R62As 1916-1920, & 1961-1965, as well as when you showed the next train move when it was heading to a different direction👍🏻.
if always wondered how'd they get them fro. the 7 to the 6 line
I guess from Grand Central or Times square?
They would come from the yard to transfer to the other yard I think.
it went like this: Crona yard --> Westchester--> Westchester yard (it is a yard for the 6 train) the that is all
One Of The Train On Eye Spy On 11
My first time seeing that R62a 7 train on the b-division like the IND & BMT lines. That was great video you made
To make no turns it will be: 7, switch to east bound track, switch to N, swicth to Southbound track, keep going to coney Island then keep going onwards to the Q then switch to B then D then go to the 4 at bfb yard then switch around bowling green then swicth to 6
nice work
Dj Hammers
I've always wondered how the trains from the Flushing Line got to the 7th Avenue and Lexington Avenue lines. Seems the people who built the IRT would have made a provision in Manhattan for an easier transfer when the IRT was being built. Back then they had the money and the space to do it.
Nice catch
Transportation
Maybe the MTA should make this the new 7 route, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!
Impossible. The 7 Cannot run BMT routes like Bedford Park Blvd on the B/D. The 7 Train is a IRT routed train. Therefore no. Also the 7 would have to switch into the N/W's Territorry to do so. The R62A does not meet platform length requirements to run on a BMT line.
For the 7 to even be on that part of the city it would need to be on various different routes that the 62 does not meet requirementz
xXEpiCoolKillzXx - Gaming & More it was a joke
RovuxToday YT they could make the movable stations like in union sq on the Lexington ave line so it’s not impossible just unlikely
@@blankspace_kxng Probably a faster way to get to the Bronx without stopping on N line stops
im ngl this opinion i had is a year old by now
Ive been on that train before
Cool I want 7 trains in 6 trains lines and the 7 to coney island
Joel Leon hello son
so mad they gave them back the IRT lines was all new now we are back to the old r62a i hope they buy some new cars soon and not hold onto them for years like they did the red birds
This was the 11 train
Car #1964 says 11,rare,SELDOMLY found on S 42nd Shuttle .NICE CATCH
Nice work with the map, a little fast in spots to keep up: may i suggest you do a "follow the moving dot"to help show the route, and move a little slower in some spots please. Other than that, great job, thank you for sharing!!
Red marks between cars 1965 and 1920 on a 7 train
In 2016 I Saw A R62A 7 Train
Bravo! Excellent, excellent video (as usual).
One question...
The first move switches from southbound to northbound at HP. Why does the next move show it coming in on the southbound track (lower level) at QBP? Wouldn't it come in on the NB track and switch over to the N on the upper level just north of QBP?
Excellent catch and they could have used 57th street 7th ave 63rd Street Station and 47-50th or 5th ave Bryant Park as reversing points for moving trains between Corona yard Flushing and Concourse yard in the Bronx which is connected to the Jerome Avenue line rather than sending it down all the way to Brooklyn for reversal
It came off Ast-ah....no. That'd hold up service as that'd call on crossing in front of the (B), (D), (F), and (Q)...so out of the question.
This would mean it reverses at 57 St 7th Ave (1) to 72nd Street 2nd Ave (2) to go down to 34th Street 6th Ave (3) and then finally reverses up to the 8th Ave.
Going down to Atlantic keeps the reverse movements to one instead of three.
MumboJumbo21 to get your logic and if you look at the first 2:00 of the video there is a total of seven or eight reversal moves between Corona and Westchester yard by reversing in Manhattan they could have saved 3 or 4 steps but at a cost of delaying 6th ave B,D, & F trains and BMT Broadway Q train
Er, I am explaining what your idea entails instead of going straight to Atlantic Ave from Astoria. By the way, there are no up/downtown crossovers at 63rd and Lex, it'd have to keep moving up to 72nd Street and 2nd Ave. There are no compatible crossovers at Rockefeller or north of Bryant Park. They have to go down to Herald Square.
I have a suspicious feeling you thought Astoria connected to the 63rd Street & Lex station instead of 59th...
Are you going to record the last 2 trains after this?
YES THE MUSIC RETURNS :D
I’m glad I got my ride on these on the 7
New York RR fan same
Same
Why it says F train at queens plaza at 0:31
Nice!!!!
GCheck the railfan I got to agree!
Oh my gosh! I realized this is the same train that I rode the most when I was little! Like, it’s the same cars! Nooooooo!
Ok so the 7 train reverse at 86 street on the N & R line and reverse at altanic av on the D & F line and reverse at bedford pk blvd on the 4 line and reverse at 86 street on the 6 line to westchester yard. Amazing 😶😶😶
I just rode on 1920 last week on the 6 and rode on 1961 a few years ago on the 7. The Years of Our Lives cars...
Me: _Waiting at 57tb St - 7th Av_
7 Train: *Blows through station*
Me: My dream has been fulfilled!
I saw a R62A on the 7 2 days ago in service
In that clip towards the end I like hearing that lady saying ATTENTION EVERYONE N trains are not running LOL LOL
The R62as are back on the Pelham line while the R142as make their way to Flushing line and Jerome avenue 4 line.
R62A's return to the Pelham Line: The Movie
I wish I saw this lol, my school Bronx Science is right next to Concourse Yard and Jerome Yard.
Wow and to think all those 62As on the 6 moved all this way from corona like that
NOOO! IT'S GONE!!
6:17
R62As should have gone to the 4, not the 6
Winson Thai For what reasons? Those 6 line customers could really use those LED signs and the two extra trains that will be added to the schedule to end the constant overcrowding and super long dwell times that exist on Lexington Avenue. Plus, with the change in car assignments, the 6 can be 100% R62As (simplifying maintenance), the 4 can get the last R142As from the 6 line to increase frequency for central Bronx riders, and to displace some R142s onto the 2/5 to increase service on those lines. Between the simplification of maintenance at the shops, the introduction of a new modern signal system to end signal problems on the 7, and an increase on service on most of the IRT, putting the R62As on the 6 line is a win-win-win situation for everybody.
@@TheRailLeaguer the 6 needs more like 4 more trains per hr because in just 4 stops the train is already full.
XP JR 22 88 There should be an expansion of service beyond the planned two train increase when the R262s and Lexington Avenue CBTC go online.
I know
@@TheRailLeaguer The 4 Can use these leds too , In the bronx the 4 can run on the exp track or the lcl track of jerome - burnside elevated. It would be useful for indicating if a train is running exp to 125th or local to 125th.
I knew CZcams would think this video is about COVID.
I really want a copy of that map
Me too
@@_tsiatsiaros.k 7 train goes to the bronx
That is alot
You did not see the number 11
Oh, no wonder I saw a lack of Full Cab R62A 7's on the Flushing Line. I believe there's about 2 full trains that still on the 7. The sets I recall are still on the line are 2091-2095 (5 Car), 1904-1954 (6 Car), 2075- 2--- (5 Car), and 2--- -2085 (6 Car)
Yes lean street is back but r.i.p all R62A 7 Trains
(7) train via the N line when?
Queens plaza
There's a diamond crossover on the Northbound N and 7 just outside Queensboro Plaza. It is the ONLY connection the 7 has to the rest of the system. N trains COULD switch to the 7, but that'd be a VERY bad idea, since N trains are 10 feet wide. You'd take out a LOT of platforms! LOL!
Joker In The Bronx imagine seeing a train moving by slowly while the platform breaks! I would laugh
when will they retire them the r 62a trains . and when will the 6 train get newer cars
2026 that too long
Don't like that move the 7 should have keep them
Douglas Wells Why? That would deprive 7 train riders reliable service, and also deprived the entire IRT , including the 6 and 7 lines, with the needed increased service to relieve overcrowding and long dwell times. You just want people to waste time passing up too many trains because THEY ARE SUPER CROWDED TO BOARD!!!! Get with the times.
Douglas Wells The 7 Line is one of the most important lines If they do that then CBTC won’t be active which means Trains can’t run as Quick as they Do now
@@ninofromkitchennightmares1497 nah 4 is important
Welp. That's the end of that.
0:18 As if there was a station at every yard(Canarsie and Rockaway Park are the only ones like that). Or if there was a train identified by words(besides JFK Express)
R188s Are In The 7 Line
I wondered how they moved them on to the 6... thanks to everyone who illuminated this journey.
Yes they did moved all the R62as back on the Pelham line back in 2013 and 2018 That's the reason why the R188s on the Flushing line the Flushing line was ready for Cbtcs they was talking about this for a good while. We all knew that this was going to happen we have to start appreciateing the R62as on the Pelham line now because the Lexington avenue line s is getting brand new R262s in the future
Looks like the LAST 62A 7 TRAIN SINCE THE 62SA CAME OUT IN 85
That's alot of work, 😀
Theres no more R62A 7 Trains anymore since March 14, 2018.
*When 7 train decided to move his final R62 to the west chester yard
7: yo 6 train, I'm gonna send an R62 to you
6: Ill give u another of my r142As if you do
7: 6 train, its gonna be a long journey, but ok
6: You are able to depart right now
*At Queensboro plaza flushing bound track
7: Hey N train, Im gonna send a R62 to west chester yard, can I use your line for a while
N: Its the only way, why not?
7:I thought you was gonna say no
N: Nah man, 6 train called me that 7 train will go all the way to west chester depot with many switches and all
7: I might switch at 39 ave, where the W went express in 2001 on that track
N: So where are you gonna end?
7: Atlantic Ave then ill follow the D
N: Gotchu
*At atlantic Ave-Barclays Center
7: Hi D train, can i use your line all the way to beford park blvd?
D: Why though?
7: I need to send a R62 to west chester yard
D: Oh yeah, 6 train came to tell me, and 4 train says he will welcome you to beford parkway blvd
7:Ok then
*At bedford Park Blvd, the R62 switched from D line to the 4 line
7: So 4 train, ima roll down to 86 st then reverse
4: ok, but6 train says he's in a hurry
7: Can i use the express track of yours
4: I don't need it but don't know why
7: Ok, so 86 st then i switch
4: Correct
*Later at 86 st
6: your finally here! the last thing you have to do is take it to west chester yard
7: No more switches and reverses for me now
6: If you can get it in by 30 minutes ill give u a R142A for trade
7: Is it ok if i use that express track of yours?
6:Ok, whatever you want
*At west chester yard now
7: At last! the shipment is complete
6: thanks
7: No problem, now can i take one of your R142As since the R62 is now yours
6: why not? you helped me
How do u get ahead of train to video ar each reversal? Seems to me hard to do on surface streets
If you don't mind me asking, how do you make the service change maps?
They should add a connection from the Flushing line to the Lexington ave line or 7th ave line
The Flushing Tunnels are way too deep to permit a connection like that.
1 week later, is it?
3:17 Amtrak Horn or LIRR DM30AC or DE30AC Horn Sounded
Transfer wow
Farewell R62As
WE WILL MISS YOU R62A 7 TRAINS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
But it can be found on the 6 train local
I miss these on the 7 the mta should have left these on the 7 and leave the remaining r142a on the 6
Andrew Simon Why? Would you not want CBTC on the 7 because they can’t work with CBTC (unless you want trains to show up missing at the command tower)?
@@TheRailLeaguer obviously I just wish their where 1 or 2 r142a on the 6
Andrew Simon Well every once in a while there is an R142A on the 6 whenever service in Manhattan has to be cut from the Pelham line (service would usually run to 149th Street-Grand Concourse in Mott Haven).
@@TheRailLeaguer Ik i just like an r142a from Brooklyn bridge to Pelham bay park
Next to #1964
I wonder why they never made a track connection between the flushing line and the lexington avenue line, could've they have done it at grand central or is that logistically impossible?
ARK124 The Flushing Line is way deep underground at this point, so it would be impossible to connect them.
how did you get this map?
The 7 train is all over the place
That platform gap is ridiculous at Bedford Park@ 10:30
That is quite the gap
In my opinion, the R188s go well on the (7). Yes, I understand how some people have memories with the R62s on the (7) Line. But I'm sure you guys were sad when the (7) gave up their Redbirds to and you probably hated the R62s on the (7) back then. Maybe when newer trains replace the R188s (which won't be in a billion years) you'll then miss the 188s on the (7) and so on.
Lucas English And the R188 is compatible with the new CBTC system they’re installing on the heavily-used Flushing Line. This could bring more frequent service for those who use the busy line to and from Manhattan every day. Also the 7 line R62As are going back to their rightful place on the 6 line being reconfigured back to 10-car sets to make some extra 6 train sets, so more service for those who live in Mott Haven, Parkchester, and Pelham Bay, so everybody wins.
Ngl the r188s looks cool at nighttime
What song is that called in the beginning of the vid?
Goodbye R62A 7 train
Why are portions of this video duplicated? I saw car 1961 getting its interior lights put out twice!
How long did this special movement take?
Beat street. Wildstyle...
I did not know the route at 0:33 was possible
Well, my memory r62a 7 train is at stake. Like this comment if you loved the r62a train. I loved it since i was a little boy.
Same
That is lot of travel time.
Technology VVVF from Kawasaki ? The best for Commuter Train. 👍
i agreee
Did the Train at 57 St 7 Ave Scare You? Because You Jumped.
2:12 Listen to the beat
Intro music name??
I smell the R62A
Hi DJ
What’s up?
Dj Hammers um my Question is that how many sets of the R62A went to the yard of the 6?
The whole fleet.
JamaicaZ160 rlly ok thx man ill miss The R62A alot Like if you miss the R62A on the 7
They transferred to the 6 because the 6 still had some of the R142/a?
The rest of the R142as went to the Jerome avenue 4 line so there is no more R142as on the Pelham line just. Straight up R62as only
Wow
The (7) line will nevet be the same again...
RIP R62A on 7 and R142A on 6 for now, I guess...
What's the music called and how do you do those maps?
BenTheMiner / MTA Railfanner There will be no more R188s. You might still find an R142A on the 6 if you are lucky.
BenTheMiner / MTA Railfanner I found an R62A on the 7 On the 19th
QuarioQuario54321 Shut it 7 trains Will still have the R188s
no r142 look ugly on the 6
BenTheMiner / MTA Railfanner edit mode on pc
Why did it have to go to Hunters Point to reverse? Couldn't they have done that at Queensboro Plaza? There also seem to be a few other places they went further than the first opportunity to reverse.
They had motormen at each end It's not as though reversing was going to be a time consuming process that had the potential to hold up traffic. One guy takes his key out, the other guy puts his key in.
dogmannz Sorry for the late reply, but probably that to save the expense of blocking traffic at a busy station at Queensboro Plaza and the fact that the switch is on the Upper level. Relaying at HP Avenue was better than going through all of the switches between Queensboro Plaza and 33rd St.
6:17 Wait a minute..Didn't I ride #1964 on the 6 today without the weird 11 rollsign in the middle?
