I hope this works. Very nicely done YouTube video of several NYC subway lines-including some vintage cars

I don't guess the question "where was it taken" need be asked. 
Excellent-and the music was just-so-Manhatten!!  I almost expected to see Eddie Gonzales and the whole Fort Apache Band walk into the car at 57th st; congas, piano, bass, and all!!  One question:  Did I miss something, or did you omit "a-hundret twenty fifth street"?  That is one famous stop, Right??  Mecca to guys like me who really dig jazz.
If you could, could you e-mail me as to who was doing the music?  It was very tasteful-appropos, if you will.

This video brings back memories of commuting to high school on the "dog" or D train. The best view from the train, for me, was at the front window of the front car, next to the motorman's cab.

I rode a fan trip on the very old low voltage IRT cars years ago, but I am also old enough to remember when they were in service.

A visit to the city is not complete without visiting the Transit Museum in downtown Brooklyn.
