ᴴᴰ R160 Q Train to Astoria / Ditmars Blvd - Charlie Pellet Announcements (2013)

A throwback to the time Q trains operated to Astoria Ditmars Blvd. This service lasted from 2010 to late 2016 when the W line was reinstated and the Q was routed to 96 St - 2nd Avenue. Here are the announcements from this service in 2013. Notable differences: No M60 SBS yet and the original Dekalb station announcement. Various Charlie pellet announcements before the "Ladies and Gentlemen" was removed and a FastTrack announcement.
From Coney Island to Astoria:
via Brighton Local
via Whitehall St - R line
via Broadway Express
via 59 St
via Astoria Local

@MTA Railfan Can you do the V train announcement to Canarsie?

[@maximase2008]

I like Charlie voice on announcements

[@nyc_silver]

Nice !

[@naterose3437]

great vid! Can you do a downtown 5 train from Eastchester to Flatbush??

[@MrRailfan]

I will be doing a 5 announcement in the near future

[@naterose3437]

@@MrRailfan I cant wait!!!

[@Flash_Warn1ng]

Brings back childhood memories also why did the Q stop at 49th st back then there was a switch after 57th st

[@polylol4891]

if I had to guess either
1. 49 St is a busy station since it’s near times sq-42 and it’s in times sq
or
2. it would cause delays for trains at 49 st since a Q would be in front of a N or R train

[@Sean8888TTP]

@@polylol4891 no cause back then Q trains went via 59/60 Street now it goes via 63rd so it would cause a bit of delays

[@anthonygiunta1070]

Pretty cool I like this version

[@KeshaunPlays]

Cool

[@AndrewCampbell-wu9rm]

If this was to ever happen again, how would yall feel if Charlie voice the station stops while the ladies did the door warning announcement?

[@lenguasmexico8266]

You forgot the W train in one of the train station transfers in Manhattan.

[@jasonwhitman4109]

The w train was cut in 2010 and came back 2017

[@colleenflattery4755]

I have been watching a lot of your videos lately and it's like fascinating of the MTA community and Underground community. Kinda stinks that MBTA doesn't get love 😕. Also I found a MTA token recently at my Grandparents house. Are tokens still useful?

[@iNevaan]

You can't use them, but if it is a rare it's a collecter item

[@SomeRamdomAhole]

Ahhh high school days but going to CSI from 14th Street Union Sq was bad

[@timelessparad0x_]

ooo

[@dollartree207streetyard2]

Seriously someone should pay u big amount of money to do this.

[@davidthaler7018]

Neck Road is a local station. You can’t transfer between local and express there so the announcement is misplaced.

[@MrRailfan]

That announcement played at sheepshead bay, which is an express stop. It played after the announcement that says neck rd is next.

[@davidthaler7018]

@@MrRailfanI stand corrected. However, after that announcement, the next one announced the next stop was Avenue U; I think the stop AT Neck Road was missed.
