My grandmother (God Rest Her) rode this train daily to and from work. After getting off at 242nd, she rode a bus to 262nd, then walked up Broadway, then Caryl Avenue in Yonkers. Every weekday for years.

When I was a kid my Uncle Jack would pick me up just for the purpose of me standing in the front car of the subway and riding for hours!This brought back some GREAT memories!

When my son was little, he loved riding the subways, in the front car, nose right up against the window. Of course, I had to lift him up. The Broadway Local was our train. That's when we discovered the mystery 91st Street "stop". This video brings back those times...my son as a little guy, and these sights in the early '80s. Thanks!

This line is pretty unique for a local, amazing coverage! I love playing these videos on 1.25 speed. It's gives a feeling as if we have trains that haul and accelerate like BART or WMATA.

WOW JUST WOW
When the train emerged from the tunnel at 125th it is just surreal beauty
The smoke stack with the flashing light looks like a furnace blaze
These are amazing videos thank you for all you do

I stumbled onto these subway videos by accident but I just love them. It could be in the blood because one of my ancestors helped design the BMT, but when I lived in NYC, when I rode trains, it was principally the IRT. I used to take the East side lines up to White Plains Road in the Bronx to go to work, and later when I lived in Yonkers I would take this train down to the West side to go to the Art Students League. So many memories, a lot of them very vague, but all of them fondly remembered, even the smell of piss and all that. I suppose a lot of it has to do with the fact that I was so much younger then. Days gone by and all that.

I love that we can see the Times Square shuttle connection and the abandoned 91 Street station!

I can't get over how much more lights there are in the tunnels, compared to when I rode the subways in the late '40's and '50's (as a child).

I used to watch the 1 train pass by in my old apartment bldg when I was little. It's amazing how people actually document full rides!

The best video of the NY subway on You Tube. Excellent photography! Well done!!

The old South Ferry turn around station was built in 1904. The new one opened just before Suoer Storm Sandy. As the lowest station in the system with NO PUMPS it was devastated and closed cleaned reopened and the corrosion returned closed again and completely rebuilt. The rebuilding cost almost as much as the initial building!

Wow! This is High Quality stuff! This took me back to my childhood growing up NYC riding the (1). Thanks for the wonderful memories!

I used to be able to see straight out the front window of a 1 train. In 87 there were no R62A cars, just regular R62 cars.

17:27 my home station. Even though I still live on this line, this brings back memories from being younger (at the same station I’m a teenager) and taking the 1 train uptown and looking out the window. Thank you for this experience

116 St - Columbia University 🦁

Brilliant video, and it reminds me of something I miss so much about New York: the ease of getting around by public transit!

Having also lived in Astoria, I cannot wait to see an N train video.

[ACLTony]

Crisp, clear quality vid. Cool to see an IRT route! No "viiolin" sound, so this is an older train.

[MrStark-upfi]

Took this train earlier today to get from Penn Station to the World Trade Center. Absolutely blown me away as it was my first time taking the subway in New York

[bhigdaddymark]

The line that I grew up on and intend on modeling in both HO and O-scale one day. LOVE IT‼️‼️❤💖💝💜💙💞💕 Thanks!
