Actually on the mta's channel, they explain how the cars are different widths and how the bmt and ind can't fit into an irt station and how an irt car can fit but the gap is dangerously wide.
I just wonder where does the Express track start at? I think it starts from 8 Avenue to 86 Street. And how come the N train never uses it? Not during midday weekend construction or due to slow traffic. And I LOVVVVVVEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD the way the R188 ran super express like the Amtrak.
Andrew Campbell express tracks skips 8th ave to 86 st, running from 59th street to coney island. the center tracks are used for testing equipment or for transporting trains. because it skips the entire sea beach line, it's kind of useless for customers and besides, the southbound express track is disconnected from the system.
Andrew Campbell There was an NX Express that ran years ago, in 1967.The train ran from Ocean Parkway on the Brighton line, to Stillwell Ave/Coney Island. At that point the train ran on the N express tracks to 59th Street and 4th Ave. It went all the way to 57th St. in Manhattan, making only a few stops. Because of low ridership, the service was phased out in 1968.
I agree the express track is stupid what the is the good of having an express track that goes from 59th st to 86th st with only one cut off from the express track to the local track before the kings highway station smh shame on mta
the first train went through so smooth
I agree
I thinks it’s because of the new tracks with less welds
I remember this I loved the way the R188 zoomed passed 18 Avenue very fast
I loved the very middle part on that R160 N Train, it was Fabulous!
I like how smooth it ran
N train is my favorite line.
It for sure hauled faster then the 7 exp at 90 street
Great vid.
I liked where the CZcamsr looked on the R160 N train 2:07
R188 looks like one of those toy trains

Killer Mercenar#@Gdcfdv
Ok and what’s your point....
@@theofficialr3298 Duh.
They're point is that a IRT train could run on BMT/IND tracks as shown in the video but a BMT/IND train can't run on IRT tracks
Why cant sea beach exp go that fast but the R188 can
On express track the r188 goes back and forth
the sad thing is that theres a chance I saw this and thought it was just another r160
It's R188 A

The BMT wanted a way to just go from Manhattan and the original part of Brooklyn to Coney Island without intermediate stops.
MTA just took over what already existed.
Was this a speed test on the r188?
emergency brake test
How is there a iry train on a BMT line
Donnall Greene irt, bmt and ind tracks are the same width. however, bmt and ind trains cannot fit in irt stations.
Oh they should start putting irt trains on BMT and Ind lines BC they really need it that r160 ain't that cool
Donnall Greene it's impossible. the irt train models are narrower, which means the gap between the train and platform would be too dangerous.
Donnall Greene It's simple: 207 Street or Concourse Yard I believe.
Is that the test train. Going back and. Forth. At. 18 avenue?
Artur Avanesyan It was a test train.
Why can't it be 12 instead of 11 lol
Justin M.
way back in the early 1900s they didnt make the stations that big to take 11 cars blame the past
Qt
L
Pinh Luckett g
Justin M. Because 11 car is 11 car.
Ok
Whoosh.
Why does it make that sound @ 0:16?
Guest 720 An emergency brake that tells to stop the train.
@@arielgonzalez5296 no not that emergency break sound the other sound before it
@@Dislynn It was a test train that went faster before applied the emergency brake.
👀
That’s a not in service 7 via N line
rebecca balfe it was testing this was taken in 2013.
He sped the video up when the r188 was going by
Jhared Edwards he didn't dumbass
