Awesome pictures and videos Curtis! South Ferry almost made us deaf, man was The Brighton Line cold or what, but totally worth it ! B)

I never knew NYCT was using concrete ties until I saw these pics either. Is there an eventual plan to replace all outdoor wooden ties with concrete ones? Using them underground would likely be problematic due to humidity and temperature issues, it's pretty brutal down there during the summers.

nice one, but when u take night/Sun Set shots, you should try to take the picture before the train gets closer to the cam. So it wouldnt shake

 

@Orion although u can raise the MPs, it wouldnt be so good to rase to high, cuz one photo can end up being 10MB cuz of the MP. Just like my 7MP, it came out to 8MB

Awesome shots and video, really love the South Ferry video, but all of them are awesome.

Well the I didn't know the was using concrete tiles either, but the Sea Beach and Rockaway Line are using concrete tiles has well. I guess eventually the wooden tiles wil get replaced by the concrete ones
