TrainRider Railfan - NYC Subway History & More

Күн бұрын

After many months delay, the Nevins Street Lower Level and IRT Brooklyn Line provisions video is finally here. Not only does the video cover the evolution of the track layout in the area over the years, but also includes footage from Nevins and nearby stations, as well as railfan window footage, showcasing all the legally accessible remnants for the platform itself, and provisions for proposed Manhattan Bridge, Lafayette Avenue, and Fourth Avenue lines. Have more information or urban exploring footage/pictures? Let me know! Big thanks to QQWERTY Railfan for some of the footage and his expertise on the IRT in general.

This is just terrific. The amount of research is extremely impressive. I have always wondered about the history of the insanely complicated Atlantic Avenue Interlocking, which has always fascinated me. In 1966, when I was in High School, and the Transit Authority answered my request for a set of the NX/UR interlocking Typical prints (edition 1958) designing my own implementation of that snazzy new interlocking was my self-assigned summer project, 30 years before I would write a simulator allowing me to test such a thing, and today Atlantic Avenue is one of the handful of "real" interlockings distributed with NXSYS (see my personal site). Thank you again for publishing the answer to a lifelong mystery for me!

10:43; The ceiling at Atlantic Avenue, that Train rider railfan is standing, does represent the 4th. Avenue section and the old radio station from the northbound and southbound 4 and 5 trains.

8:23; The underpasses of Nevin Street show a door with many locks indicates the lower level of the station that isn't used for service any longer. Great discovery!

As a kid, growing up in 80's NYC, I was very intrigued by the following tunnels: On the 2/3 line, from 96th to 110th On the 4/5 line, from 138th to 149th & GC On the 2/3/4/5 line, leading into and leaving Franklin avenue. The south ferry loop and the other side of the wall whereas, you could see the 4/5 trains passing by. On the A/B/C/D lines, the tracks between 59th and 125th.

Additionally, on the 6 line, from Cypress to 143rd In regards to the middle track on the 4 line in the Bronx, why isn't that used as an express route?

They replaced the door with holes to completed seal door so no one could see the lower level station anymore.
