This has been was the most anticipated line for me personally considering it features the world's tallest train station in the world Smith and Ninth Street. Really enjoyed the sounds of the r160 bustling through the tunnels and into the night sky. I'm very happy and satisfied for what I have waited to see for a long time and would love to see a follow-up if ever in the future and possible, maby a round-trip during the day that way people can see the skyline in the opposite direction.

Not a NYC native but used to go into the city with my Dad in the 60s and 70s to watch the Yankees or the Mets, and sometimes to the Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaurs and the planetarium. We always rode the subway out from Penn Station and back. Been in San Diego for 30 years now, but was privileged to ride the subway again in 2015 with my then 6 year-old daughter, to see the Statue of Liberty and the Upper West side on the 1, C and E trains. The games and museum were all great, but the subway was always just as much of a thrill -- loved the sound of the trains approaching the platform with a low rumble, and then a sudden boom! as they came out of the tunnel. The one thing I never got to do was sit in the front and see all the stuff between stations. So these videos are a major treat! THANK YOU folks for giving me that experience. Tho it would still be great to actually ride up front one time with my kids!

This is the train I take to work every day and have been taking it since I went to high school when I was 14. I am 46 now and still riding the good ol' F. I take it from Ave X into the city. What fascinates me is stuff like 29:08 where there is an abandoned tunnel. I guess there is where the famous "mole people" hang out. Also what's interesting ("frustrating" is a better word to use when I'm actually ON the train) is why the stoppage or slowing down at parts when it was clear there was nothing in front of this train? (I know traffic, other lines crossing, etc. cause it but not on this ride. It must have been a weekend or something because it wasn't very crowded and nothing was in front of this train). Anyway, these are really cool vids!

We appreciate you and we are happy that you get the chance to experience a train you’ve ridden for so long/to this day. The video was recorded during the week but we have to say, although we may not have seen any reason for the delays, the cbtc system is in charge of how fast the train is allowed to go. The train operator has to obey whatever the system is saying as the system is able to read the “traffic” way ahead of the operator’s line of sight and therefore, causing them to slow down for what appears to be for no reason.

That's what makes the NYC MTA so amazing. It happens all over the place. Did you see the approach to Coney Island @1:36:36? There is another line above the one from the video. Even when this F train arrives at Coney Island you can see another resting there at a slightly higher level. This also reminds me of when I first rode on the 1 Train way back in 1979 when I was a kid. I remember being underground, seeing a train next to me that all of a sudden started ascending.

Originally, the Culver Line north of Ditmas Ave started from Ninth Ave, which is why the latter has an abandoned lower level, thus making it a former bi-level express station similar to 145th St where the A and C split from the D and B, respectively and vice versa. The section between Ninth and Ditmas was converted to a shuttle in the same manner as the 42nd St Shuttle, that being disconnecting a section of a main line and only running shuttles on it. This was done to connect the 4-track section from Church Ave to the 3-track section from Ditmas Ave. The former was run by the IND and the latter was run by the BMT. The shuttle was discontinued in 1975 and was later demolished due to low ridership, therefore making it impossible to travel between Ninth and Ditmas by train anymore. This is why the IND Culver Line used to be the BMT Culver Line as mentioned on Wikipedia (although it’s only for the 3-track section). As for the 2-track section from Neptune Ave to Coney Island, it was added to extend the line to the latter. However, it had to take over West 8th St’s lower level which was originally served by the Brighton Line’s local tracks whereas the upper level is served by what was originally just the Brighton Line’s express tracks. This is why the Brighton Line’s local and express tracks merge into each other after Ocean Pkwy and also why B express trains short-turn at Brighton Beach whereas Q local trains continue, since there isn’t enough room to turn around all B and Q trains combined on the same tracks and because Ocean Pkwy has no crossovers. This is an example of a railway line’s evolution also affecting other lines.

F has been my one seat ride to Manhattan during my high school years. My favorite subway line! Wish the MTA makes a full express service for both Queens (21st Queensbridge to Jamaica-179th St) and Brooklyn (Jay St-Metrotech to Church Ave) one day.

今回も、地下鉄に乗っている気分で視聴しました(笑)。 地上区間には、いくつか分岐などがあり複雑な配線になっていましたが、地下区間でもさらに地下に下りていく分岐があったり、車庫に向かう分岐があったり、通過線と各駅線が一時的に離れて通っていたりなど、やはり複雑な配線になっているのも分かりました。 日本で、かつて漫才師「春日三球・照代」による「地下鉄漫才」があり、この漫才のサビは「地下鉄はどこから入れたのか」です。 そうなると、ニューヨークの地下鉄の漫才ネタでは「どこを通って来たのか」「どこへ向かうのか」がふさわしいかもしれませんね(笑)。 これからも、ニューヨークの地下鉄の動画を見て行きます。

Sometime in my college experience, I asked my classmates "when will I marry"? And they answered - take the F train to the last stop, and look on what's written on the wall. The first thing which came to my mind is 179 - if it's date it can be read as January 7, 2009 - but no it's not the day of my marriage. The first stop in Queens (if you travel toward Jamaica) rather can be deciphered as "the day I've met my girlfriend" but without mentioning the year. Note - this prophetic conversation took place before 2000, and F train went through 53rd street tunnel; the guy who told that - could be from Queens, so for him - the last stop in Queens could be one 23rd Court Square.

At Lex and 63rd, the reason the F train comes in on the left track is because the southbound Q train stops on the right side. Trains running towards Queens or upper 2nd Ave. are on another level. And Yes - there are crossovers between the two lines here. Someday a northbound Q train could run to Queens, or an F train could go up 2nd Ave.

23:55 I see that the engineers had to underpin the original IND vertical beams with concrete on steel beams underneath to make the F train drop here, where there used to be a level track before. They must have put up temporary supports next to the originals while they dug underneath them ? Anyhow, they did a magnificent job ! They didn't have to move the beam's original locations.
