I missed the W train because of slow walkers. Bombastic side-eye! Oh, the lights are out. Welcome back to my channel, all about the journey through New York City. This is one-of-a-kind destination content, which is why you're getting repeat viewers who come back for more and come

back to every video. Today, we're going to take the all Queens train. Shout out to Patreon member Derek, a super friend, for the idea! I got to start here at Atlantic Terminal, take the Long Island Railroad to Jamaica, and hopefully catch the Z train. First, a quick shout-out to all the

super patrons. Thank you for being sponsors of the channel. Second, quick shout-out to Roberto Blake. He did a quick review of my channel on his channel. He is a YouTuber who helps YouTubers—YouTuber better—and he gave me

some fantastic advice, a lot of which I will probably be implementing. West Hempstead, track two—this is the one we're taking. 7:29. Not that...let's go!  Leaving soon. Oh, nice! Brand-new train! I am not familiar with train models for

the Long Island Railroad. M9, maybe? Let's get my ticket activated here. All right, so ticket's activated. I'm going to cut until we start. I activated the CityTicket, even though I don't have a CityTicket sponsor, so you know it's okay.

Though I love all the sponsors. I always love this little thing at the end of the platform where nobody's allowed. [Music] Got a few stops to go before we can get to Jamaica, but this is the first Queens train we're taking. Yes, all of Queens!

Trains are being taken to No Avenue station. Next stop No Avenue.  Only the first two cars make the platform at No Avenue; the last two do not. Take this time to walk up. Now it is early, and we need to get to Jamaica to make sure we get on the

Z train, and boy, are we slowly moving along! Let's get on, get on past noon so we can get to East New York. Man, it looks really good this morning, doesn't it? The low sun in the morning... Oh, that's an interesting little apartment

complex, uh, condo complex by the... It's like something you would see in the suburbs. East New York. Yes! Ding dong! This station is East New York. I'm aware of that.  Is the train headed to the next station, Sutphin Boulevard? Oh, dang it. Okay, so we got

to stop at the employee-only part. That's okay; we'll see how it goes. I hope we don't linger here long, and I am cutting it close, catching the last Z train at Jamaica. Yeah, it does look like I might catch the last one if

I catch it at all. This station is Sutphin Boulevard. This is the train to West Hempstead. The next station is Jamaica. All of y'all can see from the thumbnail that I did, in fact, catch the Z train. It was not easy, though. There's a little lookout there...

Lookout [Music] Hey, another Long Island Railroad. That one's probably going to Grand Central, or maybe not. Could be going to Penn Station, but regardless, we are done with the Long Island Railroad, so let's go! Let's go!

That's me being very confused about why nobody's opening the [Music] doors. All right, finally! All right, well, that was useless, sitting there a minute on the platform without the doors opening. Let's see if we can catch the last Z train.

Guys, I was a little stressed out because I got a bit of a late start, and now there's a broken MTA  ice cream machine. That's okay; I can climb stairs. Got to go up and then take the elevator down.

Subway. Somebody's taking it to the street level. All these [Music] delays. Here we go. Subway level. Oh, smack! So I redid TrainFanner101's uh... omn smack tribute because I got his name wrong last time. I said

Railfanner or something. TrainFanner101, thank you for being a Patreon sponsor. And I'm on the wrong platform. Here we go. Let's see... there's a J, that's a J going the wrong way. I need a J going towards Manhattan

and... or not a Z. Going there! Yay! 6 minutes. Wow. Looks like 6 minutes. That's all? I was all worried, and now I just got, like, you know, here's a J train. I don't even need that J train. Get on!

Out of [Music] here! Main time challenge of the day has been accomplished! Yes! So on to all Queens trains. Yeah, I can relax a little bit. Z train selfie! Z train selfie! Because, you know, I don't think I've taken the Z

I've taken this train maybe five or six times, so now the trick will be finding a place to cross over. Looks like Wood Haven's a good place to switch to the J train back to Jamaica.  Holding it... no, it's not coming. Or not... I can't open two of them. You coming in?

Yeah, the lady behind me was saying, "I've got to get to work!" You could tell I was getting a bit agitated, too. But, uh, you know, that New York thing... sometimes we have time, sometimes we don't. But I hope she...

I hope she got on the right train. I hope she knows where she's going. There are really only one or two directions to go, and one of them is only one stop, so I'm pretty sure she's going

the right way. So, I don't see... is there a crossover here? I think there... I can't tell. Oh dear, that's okay. Wood Haven was a white dot stop, so there probably is a crossover there. I guess we'll wait until we get

there. I really wish I could know better if there was a crossover, you know, a little mezzanine with an underpass to go under the tracks and go the other way. Here we go, Wood Haven. What are you kidding me? The classic MTA

shenanigans! But I guess I really need to research these things better. So, there's Wood Haven Boulevard. The Jamaica-bound platform at Wood Haven is closed for MTA reasons. Here's 85th Street-Forest Parkway, and I'm going to risk it.

Here, can I go this way? No, let's go this way. Can't seem to find a crossover at a station, but I... I was going to do it at Woodhaven, but Woodhaven Jamaica-bound is closed for MTA reasons. MTA reasons are always the, uh, the most

reasonable reasons. Bypass Woodhaven. Okay, just a little reminder for the train operators here: don't forget to bypass, as if you can't, you won't notice when you get there. Yeah, it's a mess there. By the way, should I tell him? Should I tell them to bypass Woodhaven Boulevard? Wow, it's a bit of a crowded

train up here. Wait a minute, it's only crowded up here; plenty of standing space back here. So weird, man. Strap-hanger logic is so odd sometimes. Anyway, we're on our way back to Jamaica, passing Woodhaven here. Get an up-close view of all the stuff

happening. I guess they're doing the whole thing on the J & Z line; they're doing the whole thing they did with the, uh, B and Q in Brooklyn, and just completely renovating the stations, which is good. It's just bad that it's taking so much

time, and they have to shut down the stations to do it. Okay. [Music] 111. Anytime now. Sun's coming up. Time's marching [Music] on. And I have only ridden... this is the third train of the Queens... all Queens... all trains Queens Day.

Here we go. All righty then, let's do this. That took a bit longer than I had anticipated. That's okay; we got it done. Yeah, I'm actually... it's actually quite a relief to, you know, when you catch the Z train, because you never know it's one of

It's the only actual thing that I have to schedule when I do these trains.  Oops, nope, that's not the right way. So I'm trying to find the AirTrain now, and I should be able to find it. I don't know...oh, I was all the way at the

back of the platform; that's why. Whatever, there it is. Not in service. Oh, look, some good bus/train combination action there. And the Chipotle? No, thank you. Ah, yes, the Long Island Railroad ticketing office. One of the cool things here...well, that was a roundabout way to get here, but I'm

here. Almost, almost here. We go! Time to feed the ticket machine...you know what? That's too slow. I'm going up the stairs now. I'm about to test the Omni readers at each end of JFK Airport AirTrain. Yep, the AirTrain. So I

don't see any Omni readers, though. Oh, there's one! There's an Omni reader over there to the right.  Gotta tuck my camera away. So this guy...that's right, Steven L. and Nigel Lewis...well, the one at Jamaica...

the single Omni reader at Jamaica seems to work. I'm dedicating the...uh...my battery's running low. I gotta change it. So I'm going to create a light here. And we're back up to $825 twice. You know what would help me out? Subscribe to

the Patreon! Only $145 for the lowest tier. As I was saying, I'm dedicating the Omni readers for the AirTrain to returning Patreon members who have been subscribed for over a month.  Stopping at Federal Circle for the hotel...

So, free parking and all cars follow by airline terminals 7, 5, and all right, let's do this. We only have to go to Federal Circle, then change to the Howard Beach train. Man, that is a beautiful shot! Look at that. Say what you want about the

craziness of Jamaica Station, but it is... it's a pretty station. Mostly whether trains go in and out of it on schedule, that's a whole another deal, you know, for the Long Island Railroad. Anyway, bit of a mess. Hey, there's a perspective I usually

get in the front car, but this is kind of cool. We are arriving at Federal Circle. Here we are. Uh, all terminals... no, sorry. Construction alert. Oh yeah. Oh, I'm glad I don't have to venture into the crazy... uh, the crazy... Closed down. Now I'm at the Howard Beach area. Let's see

in 4 minutes. 3 minutes for Howard Beach. Now it's getting hot. I'm going to take off this "Train Everyday" hoodie real quick and uh, reveal the Bad Street USA tee. That's right, Bad Street USA tee and "Train Everyday" hoodie. I mean, I'm not great at designing

them, but I like them. They're warm, they're comfy. Please stand clear, the doors are closing. Please hold on. All right, now let's go on a roller coaster ride here at the [Music] front. Let's see which track are we taking? Which track are we going? We're

going left. All right, let's do this. Le Boulevard for long-term parking is next. Oh, look, one of the AirTrain cars got separated from the other two. I wonder if that happened at one of the track splits. I was like, "Hey, what? Guys, where are you going?"

and the other two were like, "Haha, we turned Bob the Train loose!" AirTrain is a [Music] bully; in fact, the entirety of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a bully, as far as I'm concerned, charging $825 for an AirTrain

that doesn't go to every terminal anymore. Full fare for half the travel time. To take the A train, I've got to go towards Rockaway so I can take the shuttle, the Rockaway shuttle. First, let's test out the OmniReader here at Howard

Beach. If there is... that's right, I got to pay to exit. And where's the Omni? Oh, there is one right here. Okay, Omni. Boop. Thank you, Jack Ovich, returning patron, and Simon Brady [Music]. LaGuardia, Broad Channel-bound. A train will be the next one. What if we'll

get an R211? That would be cool. Brand new. Oh, oh yeah, oh yeah. Supertoe. Ha! By the way, the R21s got taken out of service. Completely normal headways, completely normal... completely, yep. The R21s got taken out of service on Thursday. Supertoe did

not know that. You know, I think I'm going to... I'm going to cut... I'm not going to record for 10 minutes straight of "Yeah, headway." Yep. So that was a cut. Oh, there's a roach there. Hey, Mr. Roach! All right, here comes my R46,

A train. Yeah, whatever; it'll get me to where I need to go. Broad Channel. Can't win them all. Got one more chance though. Yeah, I'm going to have to take the A back next time. Broad Channel. Okay, those were clear announcements. Good, good, good on the 46, right?

Oh, let's say goodbye to JFK-Howard Beach station. Oh man, gotta love Broad Channel! Look at that, just gorgeous. The only stretch of subway that passes over so much water. So pretty! I mean, the 1 train goes over the Bronx River, but whatever. Okay, do Broad Channel now. We need to

take the Rockaway shuttle. What is that down here? Nope, I think I see an R160 for a Rockaway shuttle. Yeah, that's weird. Let's see... Broad Channel. Ooh, what the heck? Did not expect that, but there it is: an R179

shuttle. AirlineFlyer on Twitter mentioned that this is kind of a waste of an R179, and I kind of agree. This is... it's a bit fancy for a shuttle, if you ask me. Stand-only. Need to go one stop anyway.

And then we're taking the shuttle back. More water! This is Beach 9th Street. Transfer is available to the A train; transfer to the 2 service, by the way. Rockaways... not trying to be mean, but enjoy the Rockaways while they last. 50 years, they're probably not going

to be there underwater. Hey, Pidgey! Oh, he doesn't want to... he doesn't want to say hi. Pidgey's not in the mood. 12-minute wait. Fantastic! Whatever. Broad Channel spur. Goodness, I thought the A train headways were bad. Yep. Oh wow, let's take a while

we're waiting, and let's take a look at the stained glass, little porthole here. You can peek out of... or people would probably throw trash out of. That one's pretty. Look, oh, the sun's shining through it! Yeah, right time of day for this. There's another

One looks like a whale breaching. I guess whatever it is... pretty... whatever it is. No, only three. There's some on the other side, but the sun isn't shining through them, so let's just get the shuttle train. Yeah, I guess... I guess 179 shuttle. A thing and rock.

away. Okay. Oh, I like how the stained glass is shining through and touching the... Look at that! Look how it shines! Look at how it shines onto the pavement there. So nice. Platform. Okay, this is not correct; we're going the other way. That's why there was a manual

announcement just now. Huh. Okay. Oh, we're going to race this boat! We're going to make it? No, looks like the boat's going to beat us under the bridge. Yeah, same time, actually. I guess... I sure... I'd like to take a boat. Maybe I'll take... maybe I'll take the

whole ferry system one day to cross over and street. All right, 3 minutes. Fantastic! Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yellow light, caution. Now I have to take the A train to Broadway Junction, which is in Brooklyn, but that's because I have to

take the L. I'll explain why I'm taking the L when I get on the L, but for now, let's just wait for the A train. Again, here it comes. Oh good, a 179; that's cool. I can deal with that. Yeah, I'm going to this

one. The number is not as cool, 3261, but there are fewer people on [Music] it. We just passed the R179 shuttle we took and we're off to Howard Beach JFK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to Brooklyn. What?

He just went out the emergency exit there. Interesting. Aqueduct North Conduit. Next stop isct RAC. Normally, when I take all trains in a single borough, I stay in that borough, but with Queens, I would have to take a lot of buses to do that. Wow, this is crazy.

Little cliff here in that gap. That's uh... we're sitting a bit low on that platform. Oh, is that the old Long Island Railroad Rockaway track? That's a... that track has fallen way out of use, like big time. All right, cool. Yeah, it's a bit of a trek

to get to Broadway Junction. Be junk... 88th Street, Boyd Avenue, 80th Street, Hudson. Oh boy, the A local. So right now we're just kind of... this is kind of a waste of time. This has always been interesting to me about Grant Avenue: that font doesn't match

that font, or the font that's hanging up on the top there. Wayfinding. It's like there was somebody who chose the wrong font, printed a whole bunch of signs, and they were like, 'Go with it. Nobody's going to notice.' It says Grant Avenue. Okay.

We're back in Brooklyn. Utica Avenue. There's... oh, there's an R160 C train there, just chilling. All righty. Shepherd Avenue, skip. Now we go express. Van Siclen, skip. Liberty, skip. And we're... oh, there's a C train. Hey, hey! Oh no, man, that C train

definitely beat us to it. Another... wait a minute. Oh, dang it! I always choose the wrong end of the platform. Now I have to walk the entire platform to get to Broadway Junction to the LIRR. Yeah, I always... I know the exit for the... Oh, look at... let's appreciate

That's for a minute, the dueling R179s. But I know the exit for the Broadway Junction A and C is at one end or the other of the platform, but for some reason I always apparently choose the wrong end. You know what I'm...

going to climb these stairs instead of going up the busy escalator. That is a lot of stairs; that was a mistake. I'm tired now; my knee hurts. Okay, well, at some point my SD card ran out. Here comes the L. Yep, a bit

of a bit of a skip there because my SD card—my camera just stopped working, and I did not notice. 128 GB SD card; that's how much footage I'm recording. Oh yes, a 143. We'll let you off it. Okay, let's record this whole thing; we'll

time-lapse it. Think it's safe access a ride with the disabil... ever think you'd be able to charge a subway ride to your credit card? And you will get a MetroCard at a subway vending machine in your station. Fantastic! Thank you for that brand new

information! Brand new information. Okay, Bushwick-Aberdeen. It's one of my favorite-named stations. You know, I got to say, I got to do the groundskeeper Willie accent sometimes: Aberdeen, go Aberdeen! Probably like, "Trains are bookland trains. Why are you taking it when you're"

taking all Queens trains?" There's a little stretch between Wilson Avenue and Myrtle Avenue that goes through Queens. It wouldn't be complete if I didn't take the L train. Also, second reason: the M doesn't go to Forest Hills anymore, so I have to take it toward

Metropolitan, because that's a queen's train. Yep, a queen's train that doesn't go along the regular M path to Forest Hills anymore, so it's a bit of a unique, 2023-type thing. Oh, look, the R143 has got the

little... Oh, I'm in the middle of the train, pretty much. And that was it; we're back in Brooklyn. All done.  The L train went through Queens just now. Yep. Underground through Queens. I met Hy, and there's another L train bombastic, side-criminal, offensive side...

He didn't like me having a camera. That's one of the things that happens, though. Oh, homage to the brown M. We're going up here to take the brown M train. One minute to wrong way, two... 11 minutes. Okay, well, I've got to take the M

toward Metropolitan, only one stop to get into Queens, and then I'll take it back. Um, but it looks like I got 11 minutes, so you know what? I'm just going to... wipe. There it is! It's amazing what editing can do. Wipe directly to the M train that

we're going to take. All right, we tucked ourselves in. Just got to go one stop to Seneca, I believe. Great. I'm going to have to wait for this train to come back probably before I can take it back. One stop. Yeah, it was not fun seeing that...

that Manhattan-bound or Brooklyn-bound? What? Manhattan-bound M train. At least we'll get a perspective here. Okay, see, if it was just a little bit earlier, I could have just crossed right over here. Well, I took the M train to Queens; you know I have to take every

Queen's train into Queens. I just can't take it because it goes to Queens now. It's leaving, and I have to wait for the other M train to go to Lefferts, so I have to do a manual transfer, pay another fare for the G train. Yep.

Let's enjoy this autumn foliage. Wow, a lot of those leaves have fallen off. That bet was just amazing looking like a week ago. Okay, this is...this is an odd place to put this. I guess it's obviously a J&M equipment installation.

Just...it's just, you know, this is right here. Why would you not put it right here? Oh, look, another Middle Village-bound M train. Yep, fantastic. There we go. That's okay. Here's mine. This is a Brooklyn-bound and local train. The next stop is Myrtle...

Walk; stand clear of the closing doors, please. All righty, so now we're taking the M all the way, like I said, to Lefferts, one of my favorite...having to pay again for transfers apparently when I take all trains of some sort. The very first time I took all trains in

2017, I took...I changed from Lefferts to the G train; G to the M, I believe it was the M. I don't think the J stopped there. I was very confused, but I've learned better.  Neck Boer...that looks like...that's interesting.

There used to be tracks there. I mean, now there's just a platform for the graffiti artist to stand on while he does his graffiti. What's the center track here for? For the former [Music] track? Hm, how central is Central Avenue?

Do you think Myrtle-Broadway is next? But I need to change at, I believe, Myrtle-Wyckoff, right? Oh, we're getting some interesting... This is... Oh, we're getting to an intersection. Oh, the J train! Oh, no, check out the head! Yeah, I missed that.

I missed the shot! I missed the head... head of the head of the dragon, 'cause I'm looking out the wrong side. But you gotta love all these crazy beams and tracks coming in. And I missed the J train, too. Oh, man, dang, I missed that.

Shot would have been cool to see the train... the two trains converging on the tracks.  Stand... CLE... Flushing Avenue. Is Flushing somebody's name, I assume? Or is it just like... 'cause it's a very popular thing to name an area or a

street here in New York. That was a lot of trains converging all at once, wasn't it? Lorimer is next. Finally! Let's go ahead and get there. Oh, looks like they're doing some renovations to a building there, or building it more... stained glass, very nice.

Don't have time for that, though. The sun's not shining through it. Going to scooch through the heat and scooch up to Broadway. Now it's time for the classic transfer that should be free, but is not, to the G train at Broadway. I

didn't they make this transfer free for a little while during the pandemic? But now they were like, 'Nope, gotta pay.' I don't know why. Doesn't make any sense. Well, let's... let's pay tribute to the brown M sign here. That's... wow, they

Stickered that up real good. Whatever. G train, here we go. Oh, her hair is the color of the G train. Very cool. Omn Smack Michael Wallace, thank you very much for sponsoring this Omn Smack. Queens G train, that's the one we're going to court.

Square. Oh, look, a river! Let's go surfing, boy! It's flowing fast, too. Here we go. What up, G 9427? This is a Queens G train. The next stop is Metropolitan. Now it's time to take the G train ride to Court Square, where

we'll do something. We'll make a transfer that I've never made before. This is the Nassau Avenue station. We're on the G train, where every station looks the same except for the words on [Applause] them. Green Avenue is coming

up. There it is! [Music] Green 21st. Cool. It's... we're about to get back into Queens now. About time! Oh, the lights are out! That's a man... that was so cool. Dang it, I wish I caught that earlier. I think the lights only stayed out for

like five or ten seconds or so. Well, anyway, we're back in Queens, taking all Queens trains. I believe that was the last time, until we take the F shuttle, that we will have to leave Queens. Oh, thank you, Mr. Honky Train! All right, this is one of the reasons I wanted to

take Derek Super Friend's suggestion and do all Queens trains. Transferring to the F at Court Square is something that is unique to 2023. That's right, because of all this weird construction, the M terminates in Manhattan and the G is going the wrong way.

Missed my turn. What are we doing here? Is this the right way? Yes, this is correct. Okay, so yes, because he was carrying some pipes, that's why the Mario music. As I know, they weren't plumbing pipes; they were ventilation pipes, but still pretty funny.

[Music] Court Square. See? M will not serve this station. There's the F train going towards Manhattan. No, wait, that's away from Manhattan. No, that's towards Manhattan. 6 minutes. We're going to do it. Wait, hey, I didn't wipe. That's a pretty cool shot with the...

Court Square. F train behind the signal, the green signal. Okay, transfer accomplished at 23rd Street for the F train. Now we're going to take this express along the E line. Wait a minute, that's that's not right. That's weird. This... this H... I'll listen to the announcement when

we get to the [Music] station. 36th Street is next. This is all right. That F is supposed to be going express, according to literally everything, but it's apparently going along the R line local, so I'm just going to wait for the E to go to my next place.
