New York Subway 7

[MrBrownhornet1974]

wow. thanx for bringing back my childhood

[koolmazin]

make a subway 8 video with R62s/68s

[chris40539]

i like the newer ones that new york has today

[Scoinsoffaterocks]

Hideous! I love the NYC Subway, hate the cars. Toronto has the exact opposite problem. I love the Toronto Rocket.

[Dortizr160]

i miss those trains

[dmc081]

they should of left this train it looks better

[BreezesofConey]

Where can I find actual moving videos of the old trains?? I miss the way they sounded, all clinkity clankety and squeaky.

[super58173]

So that's what 14th street looked like before it was overhauled...

[fhfh60]

@ 3:57 they got a long as line of trains such as the metro north m1

[MegaRMan7]

what train is that at 0:30?

[sega31098]

What year did they implement a "Ding-Dong" noise when the doors close?

[kmothersil]

@sega31098

These cars already had them installed when they were delivered.

[koolmazin]

@sega31098 i lived in ny for a while theyve had them ever since these cars were created

[Noveltooner]

@sega31098 1971, with the arrival of the R44s as seen here at the beginning of this video. They "bing-bonged" before the doors closed. This was changed with the R46 order to somewhat slower tones that sounded as the doors closed, the standard today. The R46s are seen here on the then-rush hour only CC line where they had been exiled as their Rockwell HP-2 trucks continued to crack and fall apart. THe HP-2s had never been tested on the subway; yet, all 754 cars were ordered with them.

[yahooveritas]

Wow! I forgot about the "train to the plane."

[mtagenius2]

I have a way to know the difference between the r44 and r46.tHE ROLLSIGNS ON THE R46 (THE FRONT ROLLSIGNS)ARE LIKE TODAYS R46 ROLLSIGNS AND THE R44 HAS A ROLLSIGNS LIKE A SQUARE,AND IN THE MIDDLE,THERE IS A CIRCLE, BUT NOW THE R44S HAVE THE FRONT ROLLISNS AT THE BOTTOM OFTHEBOX

[koolmazin]

the R44 now has a white stripe and the R46 is nude

[koolmazin]

@mtagenius2 R44s are bein retired early anyways

[Lobta]

I miss these R44's shown here as well. Where I lived, I rode the R32's mostly. So to me getting on the R44's was like riding the LIRR. Being able to sit down and actually face the direction of travel while looking out the window? Couldn't do that on a R32. lol!

I also forgot how much graffiti were on the trains back then! The simple random tags looked bad, but sometimes you'd see a whole car tagged up (bombed I think it was called) and I have to admit, sometimes they looked pretty good.

[noreaga12326]

i agree with u 100% in my opionion old skool subways were the best. now they got all this new crap and one of the things i cant stand on those new trains are the new train lights. they're bright as hell and they hurt my eyes.

[nizaralvarez1943257]

what up the image at 4:28?

[noreaga12326]

the R44s looks almost exactly the same but with out the blue stripes and that dumb yellow L.E.D. they should of kept the blue stripes and the M on the side

[pspguy4]

they repainted the blue stripes on the 44 because they started to rust and the M is the old mta logo, you can still find them on some trains

[noreaga12326]

i like these trains in the video better.

[noreaga12326]

i agree BLACKMANOR1000. Even though these trains were kinda similiar to the ones that are still running today, i liked these old ones better and the song went well with it.

[Maserati7200]

the first song

[Maserati7200]

what song is this?

[DJGeorge2007]

why did they get rid of the blue stripes? I thought they look cool on the 44 & 46.

[vynilspinner]

Didn't they? I thought the blue stripes made the trains look better too. Now it's nothing but stainless steel all around. Other than a dash of red on the R-142's the trains look so plain.

[pspguy4]

they didnt get rid of the blue stripes, they repainted them sliver because they started to rust

[noreaga12326]

The A, F, G, R, and V trains that are running today are pretty much the same trains to the ones you see in this video. Only a few things about them look slightly different but in general, the cars are almost the same.

[xUnKnOwNOnEx]

What happen to the doubled lettered trains?

[NewYorkEmperor555]

Double Lettered Trains were eliminated because it caused confusion to people.

[sice]

i liked those trains better

[bklyntech09]

was that really how the trains looked back in the 80s?

[BVEguy]

hey blackmanor... im BVEGuy... anyways, nice vid...
