Grant Avenue to Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue via Rockaway Local part 4!

[SportsFreakfrom94598]

Wow, on a ride from Grant to Far Rock, we pass an R38 A train after Rockaway Blvd and an R44 A train at Broad Channel, then see an R46 A train at Far Rockaway. And we're riding in an R32 A train. Only in our dreams will we see that kind of diversity in the NYC subway again.

@SportsFreakfrom94598 I don't know where you saw a R-46 in this vid b/c there wasn't one on the A @ that particular time I filmed this video!

I took the A-Train to Far Rockaway when I was at NY last summer.

Here in Germany we have not as big subway networks as in NYC. In my city we just have about 18 tunnel stations. xD

I hope you can understand me^^.

[JamaicaQnzFreak]

Glad you enjoyed the ride on the A train and yes I can understand you :)!

oh wow i kno da 2 train goes far but i thought dat da 4 train was the second longest after da A train but now i know something lol lol... if u eva eva had da chance 2 record from Inwood all the way to FarRockaway dat wud be soo nice and interesting but i kno u wudnt do dat lol lol

[JamaicaQnzFreak]

The 4 train isn't that long. I already recorded along the Central Park West and 8th Avenue Lines.....all I have to do it record along the Fulton Street Line and from Inwood-207th Street to 145th Street and I'm done!

[naruyamcha]

The reason is because that used to be part of the Far Rock'y and Rock'y Beach branches of the LIRR back in the day. After the wooden tresle in Jamaica Bay caught fire in 1950, the LIRR decided to sell the remaining part of the branch to the Transit Authority who took over and converted the lines for subway use from Rock'y Blvd and south. Just notice the "dead" abandoned tracks in the middle,the Rock'y Beach Branch had 4 tracks all the way up to Ozone Park. If only the LIRR hadn't given it up...

[merldongustave]

Thank you. You got good eyes....I was waiting for someone to point that out. You know whats funny that looks like the same roadbed they used to fix the tracks on the Long Island Rail Road b/w the Woodside and Jamaica stations either sometime this year or last year!
