Hey guys my name is Jacob I’m 16 and I like trains and buses.

My favorite NYC train models are the R62A, R142A, R143, and R188. Mostly I record the 🟢 6 line. I usually record R62A car numbers from 1900-1960. Yes, that includes the 🔴 1 line and the 42nd Street Shuttle.

My favorite single car numbers on the R62A are 1910, 1922-1923, 1934-1935, 1937, 1942-1944, and 1950-1960.

My favorite R62A single sets are:

1954-1904-1958-1924-1905

⚠️ Just a reminder ⚠️

Let me know what door chimes I should go look for but it has to be from R62A cars 1900-1960 only except for 1902-1904 (Not in passenger service till October or November of 2026), 1909 (derailed), 1924 (Not in passenger service till October or November of 2026). If anyone wants me to record a specific unit just let me know what car number it is and I will go record it.

This seems like yesterday Metro-North P32AC-DM #218 set but here is the thing apparently car 6444 is trailing the train but that’s wrong. Every car number is good but it’s flip 6444 was the first car to leading yesterday P32AC-DM #218 and 6227 was the trailing car yesterday.

The MTA LIRR Montauk Schedule features a direct weekday afternoon train from Penn Station to Montauk at 5:13 p.m. that now operates year-round instead of only during the summer

Here are the stops for Train #20.

It will leave Penn Station at 5:13 PM and gets to Montauk at 8:30 PM.

Yesterday 2019 New Flyer XD40 #7577 almost caught on fire 🔥 while in service on the Bx36. The incident occurred on University Avenue/G.W Bridge Entrance. Glad that this bus didn’t caught on fire since I used to record it back when Michael J. Quill of Grand Avenue Bus Depot gave some of their XD40s to West Farms Bus Depot sometime in 2024.
