A special upload this time, here are the original automated announcements recorded from a R143 L train circa 2001 - 2002. I put some effort into levling out and reducing the distortion on some of the audio clips and making one uniform audio file, let me know how i did.

From 8 Avenue in Mahattan to Canarsie - Rockaway Parkway in Brooklyn via 14 Street Local.

Some notable differences from today's (2019) version:

All transfers done by Charlie Pellet , a different "Next stop" and "this is" announcement, the "Next and last stop is" announcement hasnt been added, some defunct routes are announced and the lack of any Select Bus service routes.

When the L train say “The Next Stop is” it sound like when the J M & Z say “ The Next and Last Stop is “ but without saying “ And Last”

Gotta love that zestful “Rockaway Parkway” announcement at 6:08. Much better than today’s droning, monotonous ones.

Original Announcements: 2001-2005 Current Announcements: 2005-present These announcements were changed since 2005, because that’s the year they started testing the R160s and they once signed it up as a L train as a preview, so they updated it. When the R143s ran on the M as a shuttle back in 2005, they used the current announcements.

When the transfer announcement says “This is,” it sounds like the one used on the (B), (D), (N), (Q) & (R) today. Very interesting

The “Next Stop is” Announcement sounds like when a J L M or Z say The Next and Last Stop is Announcement.

Those announcements have Charlie doing the transfers like the IRT lines (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

The “the next stop is” creeps me out tbh it sounds so weird then the present day “the next stop is”

It’s weird hearing Charlie announce transfers on anything at isn’t IRT.

(My heart, my gut): Jenn, these announcements were made the time we had R143 Siemens propulsion.
