Unfortunately, you can't manage this if you happen to be riding in one of the new R-142 cars on the #7 line. But if you catch a train running the R-62's, then go for it! (It's also just as much fun to get a rear car view).

You convinced me to take the ride. I've never been on the #7 outside Manhattan.

(I'll look for a car with a front window.)

I've always thought the front was superior to the rear.
It's just that feeling of seeing what's coming that I need/like. Lol

Nevertheless good video.

A kid at heart, I see. I, and every kid I've every know at some point loves to stand in the front subway car looking out. For New York kids, its a rite of passage. And I guess for some adults too.
