The 7 express line rapid transit service in the A Division of the New York City Subway provides express service along the full length of the IRT Flushing Line. It operates between Main Street in Flushing, Queens and 34th Street - Hudson Yards in Chelsea, Manhattan.

So many buildings are adjacent to this line today that weren't there when this was filmed. Crazy growth in Queens.
I use this video in one of my streetcar operator training classes to show switches, interlocking signals, ST & GT signal operation, station approach considerations and typical passenger loading considerations of a heavy rail system. It works perfectly. Thank you. I especially like the steady camera and clear audio.
Even I liked it. Good documentation of my happy place. You had a fast motorman too.

My daily ride, while I was in NYC a month ago.
this is a true meditational pleasure to watch
12:48 wooow. Manhattan looks amazing. So nice to take that curve 🤩
True! You cant see the skyline so much today with all the new buildings which have sprouted near that curve.!
I always loved being in the front car when I was a kid and seeing out like this....to this day i still do the same thing whenever i ride the subway ...
Iv been in the R142 cab ITS BUTIFULL
I wanna visit every station in NYC and neighborhoods!
There are 469 stations, it may be a bit difficult to visit all of them in one sitting
Great video, awesome to see the train leaving the extension that was added to this line.
Thank you for the Videos Now this will give me a Idea of what to Study for and Look for whenever the Train Operator Test Decide to come up again
The ULTIMATE train in NYC
the r62As on the 7 are my childhood, i love to see them in vids like these :)
To my knowledge, the unique thing about the NYC subway is that it is the only dedicated express/local subway system built from the ground up! Philly's Broad Street line is the only dedicated four track express/local line outside of New York. Chicago has a three track rush hour express service along its Red Line! But throughout the rest of the US, Europe and Asia, their subways are strictly two track systems! If that's not correct, please feel free to inform us! The New York subway was built with four and three track lines throughout the entire system. Most three track express lines run express service only during rush hours during the workweek as you see in this video! The four track express/local lines run 24/7 but increase the number of trains and the headway during rush hours!
I remember when we had trolleys and electric buses in Brooklyn!
I like your video I use to live out there in the Bronx I always take the 2, 4, or 5 train
All aboard one of the most famous commuter rail lines in the Western Hemisphere!
great to watch and remember........
Excellent express run!!! And quite heavily used too during rush hours1😀😀
i love so much this videos, thanks
I thank the IRT gods for express tracks.
Amazing.
Nice video really like it!!! Thanks
Awesome video. Won't be the same without the R62A's on the 7
Also at 3:07 "Former"
felicitación por su esfuerzo que ustedes hacen por todos nosotros estamos bien contentos por sus vídeos son excelentes
Thanks. Great Video.
Great video👍
That was really cool---
Just a suggestion; it might be nice to take a shot or two of the train in their terminal station before the trip begins to give the viewer an even better sense of the ride and maybe a small banner on the bottom of the screen with the station names! I've seen this in videos of the CTA video rides! As the #7 is leaving Hudson Yard station; you may have heard a distinct sound that is made while the train is making that curve. I've asked several motormen and conductors but no one seems to know exactly what causes that near deafening sound! If anyone has an answer or an idea, I'd love to know!! I posted this elsewhere but during my high school days of the 60's, I rode every line in the city including the Staten Island line! I would go after school and sometimes not get home until very late. My parents knew of my love of subways and urban transit and I told them I was going to do it! I was told to 'be careful' and off I went! I saw parts of my own native born city that I had never seen before! I would even get off the train in some neighborhoods and walk around to get a feel of the area then head on home! That was a wonderful hometown exploration! I want to thank DJ Hammers for recording and capturing for posterity our beloved urban railway! You are an 'urbanrailer' like myself and so many who love urban transit systems, domestic and foreign!
Outstanding video!
+Jarell Clark Thank you!
I lived along that line from 1969 until 1975 when I moved to a different neighborhood. Now I live on Whidbey Island Washington. Please feel free to visit but don't move here if you like NYC.
16:26 That switch to the left connects the 7 to the Astoria line. It is the ONLY connection between the Flushing line and the rest of the system!
When was the last time it was used for revenue service?
@@nyrmetros Probably not since the 2nd ave el with its spur over the 59th street bridge was torn down.
@@commonsense6512 they shouldn't have torn it down.
Flushing is perfect for grocery shopping!
Very nice to know N Y sent one block of cement. Really like Rockaway
If you have any plans to do more of these railfanning videos in the future, my advice is go to the 6 line. Also, I would hold off on any round trips on the 1 line until the new South Ferry platform reopens next year, if I were you.
At 23:06 on the far left, you'll see my old elementary school building, the one with the tall spire
I think this is the fastest express line in the system now. Timers has killed a lot of the expresses. There are two on this line for the middle track, one i understand as you are on a decline coming into Citi Field. But the timer coming into woodside doesnt need to be there...
I never understood the point of timers, just makes local trains out of expresses
no if you ever rode on the 3 train going down westside of manhattan omg the speed on the express train i swear the train was gonna jump the track thats how fast the train was running 4 and 5 ,7 and the 3 trains are the fastest.....
@@jayreal1971 Yeah the speed is so random and the lights go out at random moments on the 3.
Why doesn’t this happen on the 1?
Thanks a Ton, DJ Hammers, for this ride! Last time i rode the 7 was in 1986 before I moved to California, and I was riding the Redbirds going to Aviation High School for my sophmore year! I like how the new cars have a splash of red on front as a nod to the ol Redbirds! I wonder if they do Nostalga trips with Redbirds?
No
Many Pass Trains Got Throw In The river or in One Of NYC Subway Yards
Theirs New ones today Though
Awesome cab ride video and thumbs up! Subscribed to you ;-)
+Tuukka Varjoranta Thank you so much!! Be sure to share the video with your friends. I subscribed to you as well!
Dj Hammers Thanks dude! :-)
Be sure to check out my latest video with new metro train for Helsinki metro ;-)
+Tuukka Varjoranta I just did! Very interesting! :D
I Love This vídeo
That was fun
its sucks not seeing the 5 pointz tower in long island city :(
+shof515 Yeah. That was a true piece of NYC history.
Dj Hammers in these video clips do you drive the train? or you took this clip?
Nice...we have vids from Chicago doing the same
The "Diamond 7" would FLY out to Shea, skipping about fifteen stops. Also good for coming back from day games.
this is a R62A. normally you would have taken the R188 since more of them are in service
We used to save time by catching the 6 to the RR to queens plaza or we thought we were saving time. I think we were. Coming back it dpended on if the RR ws coming or not. Nice little donut shop/restaurant underneath QP elevated.
Very cool.
• Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
+trainroomgary Thank you!
Excellent!
What did you do to suppress internal reflections?
amazing
+THE Minecraft Iron Kid Thanks!
Suggestion,only you could pull this off.Take pictures of the elevated portions using a Drone...thxs keep up the good work...b
Very good video, D J Hammers! :o)
Thanks!
No estoy
That my old house at the left in 22:26 (pause)
Ok. We paused it to see your old house 😂
I did. You mean the tan building? Your house? It's very big for someones private house. Is it apartments, or condos?
@@HemlockRidge Went to Google Maps and found 67-16 Roosevelt Ave - a tiny house tucked in next to the large tan building.
I like the sounds, are we on the >7< train
+THE Minecraft Iron Kid Yup!
That was the only set in service the entire ride from what I saw. My favorite part is always the express run from 61 ST WOODSIDE to JUNCTION BLVD. Very Nice Video. Has to be just a handful of sets now on the 7
+John Kaufmann Thanks! There's very few sets left on the 7
+Dj Hammers Dj? Today saw 3 sets of R62A in service today. Rode #1960 Rfw From 34Th Street Hudson Yards to Main Street. It was express then rode #1960 back to 61 ST Woodside. Very Nice Ride today! 😊
+Dj Hammers Apparently the railfans were out today. I guess word is out the R62A will be history soon on the 7 train. Had 2 join me at the RFW on Car #1960 heading to Main Street.
The R62A 7 Express Train from 34 Street to the Flushing Main Street
In the NYPD Blue opening, its the 7 line coming up with the Manhattan Skyline behind it. Dont know the station, Im guessing its 33/Rawson
Friend of mine who is a T.O. out of Westchester Yard told me another 10 cars of 62A arrived Wednesday Morning from the 7 train to the 6 at the Westchester Yard.
+John Kaufmann wow, that means there's only 2 to 4 sets left. I'll go out and film some this week
+Dj Hammers Wednesday afternoon rush hour I will take a ride on the 7 and see how many R62A sets in service.
+John Kaufmann Alright! :D
I see this is before they installed those flashing green signals at Times Square 42nd Street for the R188 train cars.
What is the area past Junction Blvd called, before you get to the parklands? It looks really sketchy almost like Baltimore.
The "N" and later the "W" line was my home lime back in the 1990. Back.then, I never understood why a 10 car "N" train would extend past the 7 platform (rear and front). Than someone told me the length.of the "N" cars are longer. And to top that off, the "7" is the only one with 11 cars. All the rest have 10 or 8. And the AA had 4 when I used it in.the 80s. 15:53
When do we start to the express track
Is 33 minutes a record time for this route? I noticed the seamless transfer between the 7 and the N....b
Does the 7 - Express only run on weekdays and/or at certain times? I don't always see it passing the 7 - Local when I've watched those videos.
I love the curcis in queens it was good in Mets will
Point is that right
How come there is no "S" or 11 sign at Junction Blvd? I looked all over and couldn't find it for some reason.
do you guys know any decent games that arnt roblox that has the nyc subway?
What do the blue lights in the NYC subways mean?
I doubt I will get an answer but I will try. What speed does the NY City subway operate at? I realize it will vary with traffic but what generally is the max speed? I have heard all kinds of different speeds so someone who actually KNOWS answering this would ne nice! Thanks for your time. Oh, great video, thanks. It brings back some great memories.
The top nominal design speed is 55MPH although there are a few spots where trains may hit 60-65 from time to time.
Thank you very much. They are faster than I thought.@@DJHammersTrains
16:42, that would be the title of Queensboro Plaza.
the express passed no all stations and those platforms were crowded. plenty of trains going back to town. so do wise people go all the way to one of the three stops and then take the other direction back to where they wanted to get off
It's a single track for the express, bypassing stations;, is it one direction in the morning and the other in the evening, or is it only ever express in one direction?
vitajazz Express service is in the peak direction, meaning the flow of passengers during the rush ours.
Runs express Manhattan-bound in the morning, Queens-bound in the evening.
Greyareas27 Also Manhattan-bound after special events in Citi Field or the Tennis Center in Flushing Corona Park.
what camera are you using to record this? the auto light adjustment works well
Word Hustle looks like go pro
15:47 anybody see the signal say 420 and 169
yep!
nice
It says 3 and 169
Do the person in the middle of train operate doors?
AzAzGod yes he does
AzAzGod ok so does one drive it and one operate the train
@@danielpatterson5245 There's a driver and conductor. The driver drives the train, the conductor works the doors and can sort out questions or issues passengers have.
they should run the 7 under the Hudson to NJ for people who hook up with NJ Transit...
sky17
Can't. That extension would be under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority.
And it’s the Nyc subway not Nj subway
I never knew there were so many R142a 7 trains I thought they were rare but I only saw r142a 7 trains no r62
Great video by the way keep on the good work you should do r46 a train next
Thanks!
Those are the R188s, some converted from R142a's.
What happened at 3:05?
No stop announcements on this line?
Rod Giacoleetch there’s probably not a speaker in the drivers area
Rod Giacoleetch
Probably because it's rush hour -- I know London has two modes for train announcements (rush hour and other times).
pretty fast,hum.how long is this line
This is the shortest line in the system that's not a shuttle, with only 4 stops in Manhattan.
There is light at the end of the tunnel...
😘aw
I ment 😘 awesome
Made before CBTC was cut in
I miss 5Pointz :'(
The black girl who got on at 5:00 was cute
you have good eyesight, all is saw was a blur of people.
surprised you did not get on the 7 with any delays
+hockeyboss 689 It was a very fast ride!
it stinks that most of these time lapses were done on trains with clear windows, not on some weird windows, where it is not clear to see through.
Video blurred.
is amazing but....in world of subway 4.....this not exist.😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
Nicu Je87 sometimes it goes express to Burnside Av
