Jamaica Line Posted January 17, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2012 Decided to hit one of the blocks that dead ends at the Brighton's ROW. Got some nice videos in return. First a Manhattan bound ( hauls ass as it takes the steep downgrade followed by a . VID00005 - YouTube Then a Stillwell Ave bound struggles to keep a decent acceleration up the slope. VID00002 - YouTube Love seeing trains at grade. I'll definitely hit this spot up again. BTW, my youtube channel is not a serious channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan05979 Posted January 17, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2012 A 160 going up a hill would smoke a 68 that had a 500 car lead. they should paint R68's green cuz they are '75 turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted January 17, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 17, 2012 I don't know about you but like @Dan05979 said as well, those 160's don't have problems going up that hill. Should just see them when the (Q)'s went express for the time of the rehabs being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted January 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted January 17, 2012 Agreed. The train does have to slow down, there's a station at the top of that hill (Ave H). An R68 going up that same hill stopping at Avenue H would remind you of a M34 bus during rush hour.* *A bit sarcastic, but you get the idea.

Jamaica Line Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted January 17, 2012 I don't know about you but like @Dan05979 said as well, those 160's don't have problems going up that hill. Should just see them when the (Q)'s went express for the time of the rehabs being done. I know the 160s don't have a significant problem climbing a hill. But of course, it's only a train and gravity will take its toll. So it won't accelerate at the exact same rate as it would on normal grade. That's how I came up with the catchy description. I've seen the 160s bypass Av H during the rehab (N/b and S/:(. I used to get off at that stop just to watch a few trains pass through. Agreed.

Yea I know, Av H has been one of my favorite stations for a while now. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaica Line Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted January 18, 2012 Well I didn't make these videos for nothin', rather as well post the rest here. In this video you can really see the size of the steel beast. Love how it wonders into the "wilderness" near the end. Remember the HD option is available.

3railgreg Posted January 19, 2012 Share #8 Posted January 19, 2012 Very nice video, at grade complete with the high security "wrought iron fence". Great to see they have survived since I was there. Thanks Jamaica Line for them!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaica Line Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted January 19, 2012 They looks like railroad videos. Yea, I'm not used to seeing trains from my level (did once before but that's a whole 'nother story ). Glad you enjoyed it. Very nice video, at grade complete with the high security "wrought iron fence". Great to see they have survived since I was there. Thanks Jamaica Line for them!:cool: wow. I really do appreciate it. Nothin' like replaying some old memories for you guys. Thanks! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
