Rare move on IRT New York Subway Shuttle tracks

[meliketrolleys]

We were in the right place at the right time. 25 years in New York when i lived there and never saw this. Used to see the garbage train and the money train all the time around 11 PM

I've seen this car a few times, on the West End Line (D), by my train stop (Fort Hamilton Parkway)..

[Roboman2121]

Ah, that's the MTA's NYC Subway Track Geometry Car! Nice catch there!

[KMNKeyboardVault]

[zMurderification]

[caze192]

@zMurderification really, i think thats what its for, its probably vandal squad tryin to catch writers, ive never even seen those trains on ny, and i hope i never bump into one when im in the tunnel bombing

[nakabar]

[Dooby1986]

@Kote12TK

thats just the floodlights from the first car of the train.

[tryithere]

@MrUncomfortableTruth Yeah that sunlight in tunnels can be a real problem

[MegaGiovanni1984]

That is a mta geometry car I saw one on 125 street on the Lexington (4,5,6) ave line

[legoofeggos]

@Kote12TK

[TheWindowdog]

[larlio55]

[amzad89]

oook thats strange nd rare. but nice catch though and vid

[imdanumber1]

That is rare...exactly how do they lift the bridge at Times Square though?

[meliketrolleys]

It's a steel plate bridge over the tracks. They just lift up the plates and put them aside.

[EdwinR890]

@meliketrolleys WOW! So some of them come out of those bridges there?! Wow I gotta go check it out!
