IRT Flushing Line: AM Rush Hour R188 (7) and {7} train action at 46th St and 33rd St.

This video was filmed on May 8th, 2026. Welcome back to the channel everyone. Today in this video, we have some Manhattan, Flushing-Main St and Mets-Willets Point bound R188 (7) and {7} train action at 46th St and 33rd St. Now if you're wondering what is going on here, let me explain. Due to station improvements, Manhattan bound (7) trains are bypassing 69th St and 52nd St until May 25th, passengers who wanted service to 69th St had to transfer at 61st St-Woodside to a Main St bound (7) train while passengers who wanted service to 52nd St had to transfer at 46th St to a Main St bound (7) as temporary platforms were placed over the Manhattan bound local track at 46th St, 40th St and 33rd St. However, on the day I filmed this was the last day of temporary platforms at 46th St and 33rd St in the Manhattan bound direction as beginning May 11th, Manhattan bound (7) trains would bypass 46th St and 33rd St due to upcoming ADA work at those stops, so the temporary platforms had to be removed at those stations so work could be underway. Also, during this time, Manhattan bound {7} trains were stopping at 46th St, 40th St and 33rd St too, hence why the "EXP MAIN ST-46 ST" program was being used. During the AM Rush hour, some (7) trains terminate at Mets-Willets Point. Timestamps 0:00: 46th St 11:24: 33rd St.
