I hate how on R160s you have no privacy to railfan because no matter where you sit,anyone can see you.I love privcay of the R46s

[Allen1628famm]

@TheSubwayMustango You must record your R160 vids while your sitting down?

[TheSubwayMustango]

@Allen1628famm Yeah but R160s if you sit or stand anyone could see you because there face is always turning on you lol.

On an R46.Some peoples faces are turned the other way because of the seats.

[Allen1628famm]

@TheSubwayMustango Well I don't really let that bug me. Thats why I usally do my sidedoor train vids late at night because its not that much people looking at the cam. And I usally pick a train car that don't pick up alot of people.

[TheSubwayMustango]

@Allen1628famm Yeah but I have been filming much less recently than I used to because of the 9/11 attacks.I wonder how great railfanning would have been before 2001.

Are any of you guys old enough to remember when the Jamaica Ave el ran skip-stop between 168th St. and B'way Jct, then express to Myrtle Ave., then on to Essex St. Express trains did not stop at Marcy Ave. The westbound express track from B'way. Jct. to Myrtle Ave. was downhill all the way and straight as an arrow, There were no timed signals and trains ran full throttle making it the fastest express run in the subway system. MTA has royally screwed up that service.

[Allen1628famm]

@sonny99 O I remember that I also remember the Z Train skipping Bowery. Yup MTA did F&%k up the system.

@Allen1628famm, what other stations do the J bypass besides these 3 stops? Can you list all of them?

[Allen1628famm]

@Videos6548 Well at that time the J Train only skips these station stops and then runs local making all stops to Jamaica Queens. Thats whenthe Z Train stops running the J can't do ant Skip-Stops. I will have new Videos up later on that will answer your question.
