New York City Subway | Front Window View: 219th Street to South Ferry (Annotated)

One of the many great things about the New York City Transit Museum's Low-V Nostalgia fan trip was we were able to get those great views out of the front of the train. Up until the design of the R44 subway car in the early 1970's, New York City's subway cars were designed with small operator cabs, known by many as "half cabs." This design allowed any spectator to directly see out of the front window on the train, known as the "railfan window." Modern subway cars have evolved to having the operators cab span the entire length of the subway car, so these views directly out of the front of the train became obstructed. With the retirement of the R32's in January 2022, there are no more subway cars in the NYC Subway System that have railfan windows. These kinds of views are now only available during special occasions when older equipment is placed into service on Fan Trips. This trip will begin at 219th Street on the IRT White Plains Road Line, served by the (2) Train, and travel downtown to the South Ferry Loop on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line. Because this was a ticketed-only fan trip, we will not be making any stops along the way. This kind of view is hard to achieve for this line. Most of the Subway cars that had "Railfan Windows" were removed from service on the (2) train in the early 2000's. Additionally, the South Ferry Loop Station, served by the (1) train until its closure in 2017, has not used rolling stock containing "Railfan Windows" since the 1980's. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! Note: This video only contains the footage filmed out of the front of the train.
