[TaxFreeVM]

Arghh sound dissabled..! where is this world coming too!

This stuff is educational, if i follow a graffitti course they show me this film probably.

[fernandonorat1]

1:12 That was my truck!... cant' believe I'll found it here, so many memories from back in the days

[NYPDTB]

Great era.

[oatstao]

I'm trying to put this in context. If I was accustom to seeing these grey beasts chattering around NYC, and one day you look up and you see it with all these vibrant colours and Letters and what appears to be joyful insanity the odd happy character, message, symbols, gliding down the track, you would have to be a very very very rigid depressed jealous joyless soul-less sub-human. This stuff is surreal and would love to see that in person... EARTH IS HELL.

[noreaga12326]

they need to bring back these  old subway cars and dump the new pieces of shit in the ocean

[Ryoku75]

Its a shame how graffiti on trains and buildings is illegal but its okay for companys to commercialise the whole country, I'd much rather look at someones drawing talent then another ad telling me to waste money.

[TheLastBrainLeft]

Hmmmm, nothin' but IRT. A shame, some of the best taggers operated in ENY on the J, M and LL lines.

[santyrush]

I like,m but the sound?? not music....

[Buggy702]

yo mad love for uploading this! to bad the sound got disabled though. is there a other site i can see it?

[RAPMONSTAR]

some of those were kind of rough arpund the edges but some ehere clean.

[ThrillaDaMcColdKilla]

@RAPMONSTAR not fair to criticizize em when they had no one but themselves.. now a days we are over exposed to so called "GRAFFITI ART" or the graffiti art we are told that is art. when you look at this you can put it down but the graff you are comparing it too might have its roots here.

[craziestbxboy]

call me crazy but i grew up with the trains looking like this i actually like them this way they look more artistic and vibrant!

[Flatbedkw]

Thanks for posting this. I was born in NYC and lived there from 1978-1988. In spite of how bad things look in the vid, it's great to see the city from those days. It brings back a lot of great childhood memories.

[todtubetod]

such great footage. too bad the sound is off.

[bitchslap666]

what's a brotha gotta do to get part 3?

[sjice69]

Ughhhhh! Can't believe they disabled the sound.

[kmothersil]

@sjice69 This is why I haven't posted anything on youtube yet, part of the reason is things like this. This is however a good film even though.

[AnObsoleteMan]

ahhh the golden era, when the trains ran colors, its a beautifull thing, i love and hate my city so much.

[BKG82]

did part 3 get deleted? where can I see it?

[THEBRONXISBURNINGNYC]

I love the art work. thank you for posting this

[sheadysheaALLday]

thank you for the vid, you put tears in my eyes. those were the days.

[kylecov]

i wish i was around back then , i live in shitty england with no trains,

[Nyclassic2006]

Youtube,

You took the audio out? R U serious...fing ..lame...f..ing Toy!

[beatsone]

I love those kids just chilling watching the trains go by.. you see their eyes trying to scan every bit of the train as it zips by.

You could spend the whole day doing that.

[endlevelboss]

Part 3?

[DerKosmonaut1972]

NYC kicked ass between 1977-82! I grew up during that time. There was much more freedom and expression of culture. Today NYC is a sanitized, corporatised, fascist city where one can't smoke, can't fuck, can't dance and can't drink. Fuck Guiliani and Bloomberg! For your information, there was no crack in 1980. Crack didn't appear until 1983-84. I would gladly exchange NYC 1980 for the fake bullshit the city is today. NYC was much better when it was run down and trashy!

[Izakokomarixyz]

That's why I always litter in the streets.... If more people did the same maybe it would return.... Also write in graffiti "fuck hipsters"...

[Nacho773]

Man... same thing is happening to Chicago.

It used to be all gritty trashy and free

Now it's all shiny, depressing, and infested by starbucks.

Graffiti is buffed right away thanks to some stupid special graffiti buster task force.

Condos are being built kicking the regular people to the burbs and rich yuppies/hipsters move in and take away the neighborhood style/feel/soul by turning it into another carbon copy of an already gentrified neighborhood.

Like 3 coffeeshops in everyblock

[Izakokomarixyz]

Tell me about it... But don't worry, this recession will hopefully return the grittiness and trashiness back to both our cities... But this time, it might get a little out of hand...

[resetuniverse]

i agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[milkbeforebed69]

Wow, that's so awesome...

Yeah, Guiliani I heard cleaned up some crime, whilst cleaning up a lot of NYC's gritty culture...

How much has gentrification changed NYC?

I ask because I only first visited for the first time last month... I'm from the southeast...

I wanna move there...

I love the run down trashy gritty feel.

Fuck the condos and starbucks.

[77Andee77]

where i can got the 3 part ?

[YalkOne]

The Fabulous 5!!!

Best crew ever in my opinion

[babz1991]

[skipstops]

The New York City Subway Garffiti Strated in the late 1960's. The New York City Subway Cars had Graffiti in the 1970's and the 1980's. People that did Graffiti on the subway cars were arrested before. The NYC MTA did repainted sometimes to get the subway cars to be cleaned. In late 1984 G.O.H began,to rebuilt,repaint,and clean up subway cars. In the Summer 1989 the NYC subway Graffiti died. By 1990 all the NYC subway cars were clean and no more graffiti.

[Ihuffglue91]

better than state your name, fuk graf, and style wars(well style wars is second to this). But this is, was, and will always be my favorite movie about graf period.

[railmogul2]

wow NYC looks like a hellhole in that vid

[lexyota]

I miss that hellhole.

[hillcrestG]

its amazing seeing the transition of graff, cuz today its all so clean and measured and everything. so much that anything sloppy today would be hated on. but this shit is incredible cuz they used what they had. shitty brands of paint, and stock caps. really love this footage.

[CyDaSnake]

That and nowadays its mostly pointless tagging, I wanna see art, not sophisticated signatures.

[Izakokomarixyz]

It's too time consuming, you can get caught easily, and it will get buffed immediately... That's why you mostly see tags in the streets...

[Nacho773]

Especially with cameras, cellphones, snitches everywhere nowadays ...compared to back in the days.

[Yayakills]

but i think if you hit trains up now day its even better.

just imagine what one ha to go thri just do a simple throw up.

thats fuckin instant fame.

thats why we call it going on missions

[hillcrestG]

this is amazing footage. so rare.

its too bad this is all gone in history. this era will never be repeated just like this ever again unfortunately. theres always a first for everything. sadly somethings dont last as long as wed hope.

[graff2hell]

dang man, this is amazing! came2..

[YOTETIRO1]

old school incredible

[Matt9207]

Wow have nyc change alot.

[Addison5000]

Too bad the invaders and masters degree central park latte migrants have erased the culture of NY. Gentrification is a motherfucka!

[dino47]

mike nelson ---" hey you catch Kotter last night"

[dino47]

if you go to my channel and go to page o4 of the video book you can see how i made a tribute to this great film /

[xNewYorkCityx]

Very good documented Subway Graffiti.

Graffiti History

[FennerGuy1992]

on 0:17-0:20, is that a painting of Charlie Brown, because it almost look like him but the paintings is darker

[hatchetxrip]

this movie was called Trains of the elevated, made by some German dude- a true classic!

Copped mine off Shadow 1 The Rebels in Union Square

[SDIGGIE]

I can't FUCKIN believe they left the Bronx like that!!!!!!Thats cruelty to Humans!!!! CRRRAAAZZZYYY!!!!!!!! How can one treat humans like that when you have the ability to change it over night?

[steelgiant]

I must owe the NYC Public libary a fortune for this video...I checked it out about 15 years ago...never to return it...LOL...

[Rach84]

ah, the south Bronx in the 80s...they've come a long way. It still needs improvement obviously, but it's gone a long way since then.

[abhcvn72]

Incredible footage. I remember some of these when they were running.

[patmix]

lot of cuts just 4 the tags that sux

whitout respect

[patmix]

doomsdayz for nyc era....... often tags means war signs for streetgang

gr8 films

[vynilspinner]

Damn this shit it tight! N.Y.C. just as I remember it. The the trains, love the tags and call me wack but I used to love playing in those abandoned biuldings, we had nothing else to keep us busy. GREAT VIDEO!!!!! Where can I get a copy of this?

[bugstrut]

I bought this from Mr. Bongo, in London, almost 10 years ago. The proper title of it is 'Ststions of the Elevated'. Zephyr and Min One (who was then known as NE), were involved in the making of it. i love the Charles Mingus track, 'Haitian Fight Song', at the end of the video. Gangstarr sampled it for their 1992 song 'I'm the Man', on their 'Daily Operation' album.

[python394]

first of all-it's not called elevated stations,secondly-it will now be sad when you have little toys saying "u seen elevated stationz-itz sikkkk"(like style wars)thanks for ruining the enigma of this little gem.

[beatsone]

chill out man, it would just prove even further that they are toys. the main thing is we get to see this shit here. thx for uploading

[Yayakills]
