Local transit historian and railfan Dj Hammers makes tons of great videos showing how subway transit works and runs in the City. In this recent upload to YouTube, Dj Hammers captures the entire trip on New York City's longest subway line—the A train—from the front window during rush hour. See the trip all the way from Far Rockaway in Queens to 207th Street in Manhattan. Check it out!

Some of the trains that run on the A line are made up of R32-type equipment, which have passenger accessible front windows! This allows for the creation of videos that show the view ahead. Enjoy!
