New York City Subway M Train to Forest Hills-71 Av (via 53 St / Court Sq) Front View | Pre-2025

Join us on a unique front view journey aboard the M train, beginning at Middle Village-Metropolitan Av and traveling to Forest Hills-71 Av. This video captures the M’s pre-2025 weekday route, when service ran from Queens through Brooklyn and Manhattan, then back into Queens via the 53rd St / Court Sq corridor before the permanent weekday F/M swap took effect on Dec. 8, 2025. The ride offers a full look at one of the system’s most distinctive services and the neighborhoods it connected along the way. 🚆 Journey Highlights: (Train Equipment: R160) 🏡 🌳 Middle Village Start: The trip begins at Middle Village-Metropolitan Av, the M train’s Queens terminal, located in a quieter residential section of the borough. From here, the line heads west through the eastern portion of the route before entering Brooklyn. 🌆 🚇 Through Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Back to Queens: One of the M train’s defining features is its unusual full-length pattern: Queens to Brooklyn to Manhattan and back to Queens. This video preserves the M’s earlier weekday routing through the Myrtle Avenue Line, across the Williamsburg Bridge, through Manhattan, and onward toward Queens via the 53rd St / Court Sq connection shown in this footage. 🏙️ 🌉 Queens Neighborhoods to Forest Hills: As the train returns into Queens, the route serves a series of busy local stops before reaching Forest Hills-71 Av, a major Queens Boulevard station and the northern terminal shown in this ride. 🔔 Explore NYC’s Unique M Train Route: If this front view ride along the M’s pre-swap route gave you a new appreciation for the neighborhoods and connections along the line, please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE for more journeys through the NYC Subway. #MTrainJourney #MetropolitanToForestHills #NYCSubway #QueensToQueens #Pre2025MTrain #WTAE NYCT Employees - “Thank you for your service to NYC.” Intro/Outro Song: “Space Heat” - https://music.apple.com/us/album/spac...
