  • cool

  • the two boys fighting at 9:35 took the elevated train

  • @FallenDeathAssassin At the time... however, now that 2 years have passed...

    W train is no longer, and no more Z-train as of now. And they are making a new T-train line running from E 110 St all the way down to the Wall Street area.

    There used to be a 9 train along the West side in Manhattan as well as a K-train doing a Queens to Manhattan run long ago.

  • @garoukike they mean The United States of America. It's a country.

    For latin americans it should be a whole continent

  • @FallenDeathAssassin um actually i tink dat h and k did exist at one point

  • Madrid yeah xD

  • What do you mean in America? -> continent?

  • Too much background noise!

  • This documentary is quite outdated:

    1. The 9 Train is still in service. (Defunct in 2005)

    2. R33 Redbirds are still in service. (Before they all retired in 2003.)

    3. The East Side Access, at that time when it was proposed, is now under construction.

    4. Fare price in 2003 was $1.50 per ride. But since June 29, 2009, a fare per person is $2.25 per ride.

    4. Yet more to come...LOL!!!U name it!!

  • This when this new subway super system is coplete I hope I am one of the first to try it out.
