    Your videos make me miss trains with front windows so much...I'm grateful for my memories of discovering and appreciating the infrastructure that makes everything work as I grew up. It's so easy to take these things for granted, which is what allows the powers that be to cut corners when it comes to maintaining and improving the system. If you do a bad job maintaining streets and highways, drivers notice and complain. If you do a bad job maintaining a rail system, passengers decide the train crew just felt like being late today or whatever, instead of demanding the system be treated with respect so it can continue to work and even improve over time.

    • @wtaenyc

      We appreciate you for taking the time to share your valid opinions and thoughts about the situation and how things can be improved. We will continue to send positive blessings to all those folks who can make the necessary change, so as to make this system become the most spectacular one in the world. It’s a pleasure to bring you back to the days when looking out the front window was a blessing to, like you stated, enjoy the views of the fantastic infrastructure that keeps NYC, “the city that never sleeps.” This is why we stand by saying that “New York City is Underground,” which ties into how everything works.

    J train extension! Yayyyy…
    The J train would go south from Jamaica Center, ending up along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard.
    Along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard in a circular-like tube.
    Underground.
    First stop-
    109 Av - accessible, island platform, ordinary design, and connection to the Q111, Q113, and Q114 bus services.
    The station would spam from 108th Avenue to 109th Avenue, because more residents live near 108th Avenue, while there are more connections at 109th. So, it is basically two birds in one stone. I guess station could be: 108-109 Avs.
    Along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, underground and fast.
    Next station-
    Linden Blvd - accessible, side platform, nice designs, and connection to the X63, Q111, Q113, and Q114 bus services.
    Along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard.
    Next stop-
    Foch Blvd - accessible, side platform, ordinary design, and connection to the Q111, Q113, Q114, and QM21 bus services.
    Along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard.
    Next stop at-
    130 Av - accessible, side platform, ordinary design, and connection to the Q111, Q114, and QM21 bus services.
    Along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, underground and fast.
    Next station--
    137 Av - accessible, side platform, ordinary design, and connection is available to the Q111, Q113, Q114, and QM21 bus services.
    Along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard.
    The tunnel would be circular-shaped again, as the line is going under Belt Parkway, and the parkway is below Guy R. Brewer Boulevard.
    The next and last stop-
    Farmers Blvd - accessible, side platform, cool designs, and connection is available to the Q3, Q111, Q113, and Q114 bus services.
    I have another planned extension, but I’ll do that later.
    But for now,
    Buh - Bye!

This vid Made me aware of how many of those Equipment buildings there are along the route, super makes me curious as to what the majority of them are for! Bway Junction is So Central to everything ive loved about my time there! Lindsey Park Hi-rise buildings around Lorimer are another of my old haunts, absolutely loved seeing them from this angle! Loved hearing the Rain too! Super impressed with how clean the video remained even while barreling through the rain!! (Kinda wild that the camera got Swimmers Ear!!)(Oh whoa! What was that pattern on the side of the one train going the opposite direction on the Williamsburg Bridge??) I see Canal St seems to finally have gotten a bit of a makeover, and Chambrrs looks way better! Thank you Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood!

    Interesting camera level, I am guessing it was fastened to the coupler since it is below train floor height. I spent a lot of time in the BMT East when I was new as a motorman. The J only went to 121st St when I started as a Conductor in '88. I never cared for the J, too many timers and I didn't like the relay at Broad St. The camera is very steady and smooth, I liked this video. Brought back memories of a sore wrist from the 160 controller LOL. I've been retired since 2015, an left NYC in 2017. Nice to see the city again after so long.

      Great observation and questions. As to WHY, we would love if the right folks could answer that question for you, as we are not quite certain as to the reasons behind that. The 3rd middle track is possibly inconsistent due to the island platforms at the stations where passengers are able to board either the uptown or downtown train.

No track, but the beams are still there !24:57 A moody scene; ballast in the tracks also.32:30 It looks like you are going to ram into the M train !! Surprise !32:55 The former Myrtle Ave El over our heads. No track, but the beams still have to be there, I guess, for structural integrity. The M train on our right that we fortunately did not smash into. We will now take the express track.38:32 Back to the local track, ahead of the M train.40:06 STRAIGHT AHEAD used to be Sands St terminus (gone). Now we take the lead to the Williamsburg Bridge, the bridge built after the Brooklyn Bridge (The Brooklyn Bridge is my favourite bridge on planet Earth ! I will kiss it's abutments the next time that I get there; Excuse my bluntness ). Since the tracks are in the center of the bridge, you don't get the million dollar view of the East River like you would from the Manhattan Bridge.45:42 The former trolley terminal off through the beams to the left.47:33 The newer connection to the Christie Street connection for the 6th Ave IND, now used by the M train.50:55 Oh my gawd, CHAMBERS STREET ! It used to be the ugliest, and scariest station on the system; good for horror movies. It looks like it has been cleaned up. Wow ! It's almost civilized ! 54:00 I remember continuing on the train past this point back under the East River to Downtown Brooklyn. Those days are gone.

      Except I didn’t have a experience with Long Beach area to long I was there like before 2010 came
      I move to Puerto Rico to nyc like 2006 and moved to Rochester Ny like 2009 that was like a little experience not long because I remember if I’m correct their was a blizzard or big snow storm in 2008? And I do remember because during that time on toon Disney aka now Disney XD was premiering Cinderella3 and I didn’t know their was a 3rd Movie I thought they skip Cinderella2 but I found their was a sequel

    I think the only positive thing about the J and Z trains is that it is known for sounding just like the singer, Jay-Z. Other than that, it’s inconvenient because skip-stop service is too confusing. Plus, it wouldn’t be possible to travel to the next station since the trains are alternating stops. There’s a provision for a center express track so an express service could be convenient and it would make it much faster to travel between Lower Manhattan and Jamaica. This provision is also found on the New Lots Line but I think the Jamaica Line needs it more.

    As soon as you approach the Manhattan portal the garbage on the tracks is disgusting.

      Once when I went to NYC to see family, i found out My Mom and Stepdad at this time had moved into a cheap apartmemt right next to the tracks: cool, i thought! They put me up in the master bedroom right next to the tracks, me Not realizing that the windows were not double paned: that night i went to sleep: and i Promptly fell out of bed the first time the train passed by, not realizing how Loud that was gonna be!! I had wondered why they were sleeping in the smaller room next to the kitchen!! XD (they dont live there anymore)

    • @wtaenyc

      It’s truly amazing that they are able to live there, while having to endure the noise. We can only hope that their windows are insulated and as the system continues to improve, it would become quieter, so those folks can get a peaceful night’s rest.

    How fast are these Trains allowed to travel?

    • @raminfellas

      I think it depends from train to train

    • @raminfellas
      @raminfellas Před rokem +1

      Its around 40-50 mph i think, yeah its slow cuz you can go faster on a car

    • @wtaenyc
      @wtaenyc  Před rokem

      Thank you for asking. Each train varies and certain sections are faster than others due to the grade but usually trains are able to reach at least 44mph on a straight track. One of the fastest speeds we have experienced has been over 60mph.
