A young fellow has been making some wonderful videos of the NYCT. Real time runs of entire lines. He must be attaching his camera to the front of the trains. Really nice videos.
Since I cannot get into the city, I really appreciate his efforts.
Here is what I think is is second full length run on the Brighton bound (B) train.

His first video was on a northbound (A) train.

Welcome back Brother Lion! Good to see you again! [:D]
WELCOME BACK!!!
I also saw that trip on the A train to 207 Street/Washington Heights from Mott Avenue/Far Rockaway. As a former New Yorker, I can tell he had his camera placed against the glass on the lead car’s front end door. The older subway cars had passenger access to this door and it was always a joy to ride in the front car for the view. The newer cars do not have passenger access to that view any longer as the motorman’s cabin now extends the full width of the car. So sad!!! [:S]
The Chicago Transit Authority has a similar arrangement with their cabs that began with one-man operation some years back. A full-width cab is required for the motorman to operate the doors when the platform is on the left side of the train.

I wonder if this means the Harlem Division and NH trains use the wye connection at Mott Haven?

Subway cars built in 1917 and still usable. Incredible.
They sure built 'em good back then, didn’t they?
Since the Mott Haven wye is not part of any regular route that I am aware of, I wondered if it was excepted track only for use of shop moves, MOW, etc.
