⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Front Window View: NYC Subway - Vintage R1-9 Holiday Train from 2nd Avenue to 96th Street!

Take a rare front window ride through Manhattan on the world-famous holiday train! A yearly event in the month of December, the holiday train uses vintage preserved subway cars for regular passenger service runs on a portion of the NYC Subway system. The trip starts at 2nd Avenue in the famous Lower East Side of Manhattan, and continues up 6th Avenue towards the newest tunnels of the Second Avenue Subway (opened in 2017)! Recorded with a high-definition camera and a directional-beamforming microphone pointed at the gap in the cab door to pick up as much of the control noises as possible (while minimizing any talking), this video showcases the cutting-edge in "driver's view" front window video techniques! 🚇 About the Train and the NY Transit Museum: This video was filmed with permission from the passenger-accessible front window of an R1-9-type museum train. The R1-9 cars, built in the 1930s, were the first subway cars built for the Independent Subway System (IND), and were retired in 1977. They feature a classic operator's cab design, where the compartment occupies only the right third of the car, leaving a central front window open to passengers. From this spot, riders on the train can enjoy an unobstructed view of the tracks ahead, something modern subway cars do not provide. Today’s New York City Subway rolling stock features full-width cabs only, which makes front window views like this virtually impossible on regular service trains, except in extreme edge-case exceptions. That makes this ride not just a trip across the city but also a rare look back at how millions of New Yorkers once experienced their daily commute. The NYC Subway is an industry leader in the preservation and regular operation of historic rolling stock. Widely seen as setting the global example in this regard, MTA New York City Transit and the NY Transit Museum operate several museum train trips per year, using a wide variety of preserved rolling stock. These preserved vintage subway trains are also regularly used for film and TV shoots, as well as other special events. As a result, these are some of the most cash-positive per-revenue mile pieces of transit rolling stock in the world! Other cities, such as Chicago, Warsaw, and London, have similar vintage train programs that are modeled after New York's. 🔒 All footage in this video was recorded with permission.
