This line is special when it meets up with the 1 line that was the first tunnel they made over 100 years ago.

You know this a veteran operator by the speed going thru the BX. I also know this was recorded on a Wednesday as I know normally on Wednesdays they be doing this track maintenance cause service to skip stops in the BX.

[rick_fortune]

Really appreciate the little phone app showing the route and the showing the stations. Glad I subbed.

I used the 2 train from 72nd st (which my school was) to all the way to the last stop thank you for uploading this video i love

[JSythe]

Looking forward to your bronx to brooklyn 5 train video!

[christiankelly]

Absolutely love the supporting visuals you add, the "next stop", the animated journey on the iphone, sweet touch

My first time taking the 2 was when it still had R33 cars from the 5 train. 149th Street-Grand Concourse was the stop where my parents, brothers, and I changed from the 4 train (because I lived next to the 4 at Mount Hope Houses) to get on the 2 to 96th Street as a result of a commencement ceremony my eldest brother had from a jesuit Middle School once located north of 96th Street. It was one of a few lines that I took regularly to the Borough of Manhattan Community College after I finished high school in Taft. I now live near both the 2 at East 238th Street-Nereid Avenue and the 5 train at Dyre Avenue, though I prefer taking the 5 train due to the Dyre overpass connecting the Bronx Park section.

Thanks for sharing this video of the 2 line. I have great memories on this line getting on at either 225 and 219 Streets when I lived in the area 45 years ago. Now, i live near the 5 Dyre Ave line what was known as The Dinky. Back in the day, the 2 line was known as the Beast when it ran to New Lots Ave, Brooklyn up until 1983 when the switch was made between 2/5 and 3/4 lines.

This source delivers the true New York experience. Another awesome piece.

[OnTheRailsNYC]

Probably my favorite video!
Great job!

Starting at the 28:30 mark as the train takes the curve to the right of way to the tunnel portal, for many decades there were large brick commercial buidings at both sides of the tracks, which included the Loew's National theater at Bergen Ave. By 1979 that entire block was one huge vacant lot. Now we watch this segment and commercial buildings are again at both sides of the tracks.

WOW!…. Absolutely awesome video👍 10/10

[osagiee.guobadia-secondytc]

These NYC Subway videos are my favorite every time I visit the city, I looked to catch the train

[christa-clik]

superb work always a lot of fun watching the journey

[kyatisback]

Such a nice video! Thanks! Does somebody know why the tracks at the NY-Subway are not Welded?

[HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

WPR is the largest trunk line in the Bronx. 241st & BPE in the upper part, 180th & 149th-Concourse is the lower part of the Unionport Yard

Loved the 2 when the Redbird were rock'n..

[stormk]

i remember riding to the brooklyn museum stop in the summer of 2002... on the 1, when it was still rerouted into brooklyn due to rector street being impassable after 9/11. should also have included that the brooklyn museum stop has a transfer to the franklin shuttle.
