    For those asking why Astoria Boulevard is here, Astoria Boulevard was closed 9 months in 2019 and came in very low in ridership. The real least used station that should be on this list is 39th Avenue otherwise. If the station was renovated in 2018, it would not be here.

      Thanks. I was surprised to find Astoria Blvd on here. Of course, construction is temporary.

      I have it planned, but it might need to wait until the construction is complete.

    I lived at Ditmars, and worked every line that went through Astoria Blvd. Years ago, An over height truck tore a hole in the token booth area and hit a stanchion. It's a major transfer to buses and serves the entire Upper Steinway area, including the police station. Before the 21/Queens bridge station opened, 39 Ave served that area.(in case of a transit emergency, people jumped off to go downstairs to 36 St on the IND. A city social services office was also near on Northern Blvd, also giving that station use.

    Guess this is the end of an era. I was here since the 2 train video (i remember when it was linked to on the nycrail subreddit) and now it's done. I'm glad that it still doesn't mean the end of the channel or something like that.
    Edit: also i'm glad that the series ended on a station with a nice view

    Thank you for this least used station series, Mystic. it was a great one, we learned that some stations are least used or rarely used. Keep up the great work on your future videos! :D

    You have a point here but when going from Lower Manhattan along Broadway to LGA it's used heavily by N train riders to M60sbs to LGA airport.

    This is the station I usually get off at when going to my college, as the M60 and Q19 are right there. But sometimes depending on the circumstances I take the 4 or 5 to 125th Street to catch the M60 there.

    You need to talk about Queens project options
    -Northen Blvd line
    -7 train eastern Extension
    -N train extension to La Guardia
    -Port Washington line Subway conversion

    The center express track has been unused since 2002. If the line ever extends to LGA, then it may become a weekday peak-direction express track like on the Pelham and Jamaica lines, since there would be many people traveling between Manhattan and LGA.

  • @JoseNunez-hh1yr
    @JoseNunez-hh1yr Před 3 měsíci

    A look at the pre-RFK bridge area shows the station as 'Hoyt Av', which is the big boulevard that makes the bridge entrance. Astoria Blvd continues alongside to 11thSt. Fun fact: as you probably know, all the stations have abbreviations, yet Ditmars Blvd gets 'AST', while Astoria Blvd gets 'HOYT'.

    Although Astoria Boulevard is the least used station out of all of the other stations that are along the N/W strip and, quite frankly, just any other line ever, I happen to like the train station a lot hence why I did make frequent visits to it.

  • @cedricmalfoy2311

    Can you explain whats going on with the 7 express? It only skips 4 stops now. They said it would return to normal in January.

    • @nyctransitrailfan
      @nyctransitrailfan Před 3 měsíci +2

      The track base structure below the express tracks is being rebuilt, which is part of a station renewal project on the 7 line, this project along other projects on the 7 are severely delayed for some reason
