I rode the BMT line in Astoria in 1950's and 60's when it was the Brighton Beach Local with BMT Standards and D type Tri-plex cars. They got new R27 cars in 1960 with Olive Green Paint, Pink plastic seats and destination signs that lit up green. Those were the first BMT cars with Letters . The Brighton local became the QT weekdays and QB on weekends. The West End Exp ran rush hours to Astoria and became the T.

What part of Queens are these graffiti?

[mmcckkgg]

@cuco1989 This is Long Island City Queens, just over the bridge from Manhattan.

[NJNetsFan5152433]

I'm from Queens but at 1:48 what's the name of that graffitied building? I see it all the time in pics and I think I even saw it in GTA 4!

[acp1778]

nah u ddint see it gta 4 was not a carbon copy of nyc and to tell to u the truth i think nobody knows what the name is

[NJNetsFan5152433]

I know it's not a carbon copy of NYC, cuz like my area (Jackson Heights) is all messed up.

But that building in 1:48 is there in GTA tho. lol nobody knows o well

[acp1778]

o wait well i may have the name by which the grafiti artist's call it> five points. the buildings name itself or to who it belongs to is a mystery

[NJNetsFan5152433]

Yea it is called 5 Pointz.

It's an industrial building, but it's rare cuz grafitti is allowed on it.

[metal718]

Its called 5 points my nigga

One of the ILLest graffiti spots in all of queens

[NJNetsFan5152433]

are you allowed to just walk up and tag it? or do you need to talk to someone?

[tmoore2010]

U need to get a permit to piece there. u gotta go inside to the 5 points office located in the building and apply. bring a portfolio

[noreaga12326]

the red birds represented all of NYC. the new subway cars they have today sucks big time. they would look good in any other city like chicago or maybe boston but the older subways is what represented NYC. if it was up to me, i'd bring back all the graffiti trains.

[noreaga12326]

i agree with the comment that AMERICANRESOLVE left. the newer trains are garbage and probably should be used as garbage trains instead of passenger trains. the newer trains dont look right for new york city. if it was up to me, i'd bring back the redbirds and the graffiti trains.

[Izakokomarixyz]

yea bring back the old ones... the new ones are annoying

[allme1209]

newyork!!!!! i wuld say brooklyn but i dnt diss sooo newyork!!!

[WoWHero111794]

BS the redbirds were better represented in MY hood. da bronx. 4/5 all the way da soul train

[pilotboy087]

for a second i thought that was a 7 with an r142 pulling into steinway tunnel

[NASCAR90]

I am mets fan didn't the 7 train go right into shea I don't the tracks are there anymore because Citi Fwild is going up

[byanes39]

i miss the redbirds ! they represented queens !

[pilotboy087]

yea

[fresnel1956]

At the very end of this slip, you'll see a pale red stub of trestle, this is a remnant of the second avenue elevated that switched off to cross the 59th st bridge. Also untill 1950, trolleys crossed that bridge aswell, there are still elevator shafts at midpoint down to what was then called "Welfare Island" -now Roosevelt. Today those side roads are for vehicular traffic and bicycles.

With growth of L.I.C. if the second ave el existed today,I'am sure alot of NY'ers would find it very useful.

[lirr56890]

why did he blow the horn.

[AmericanResolve2]

this isnt the 7 train cause they dont have these garbage trains yet! it has to be the N or W. the 7 line uses r62 trains!

the r160s are GARBAGE!!

[televoid]

Actually, the first 35 seconds is the N train, and then it switches to the 7.

[AmericanResolve2]

i knew it!

[waqar88]

i cudn't agree more. Bring back the redbirds!

[DrSurprise]

i meant that the 7 doesnt have the r160s yeat

i meant that the 7 still has the silver trains that don't have the automatic everything the r160s have

[lirr56890]

this a r160b.
