Independence Eve Railfanning the Montauk Branch with @3985uprr 7/3/24
Great afternoon of train watching! Got to catch the Cannonball with 516 leading and its signature rear horn show as well as "Spaghetti" engineer make rounds between Babylon and Patchogue. Also met Long Island and Montauk Branch native @3985uprr who gave me a lot of information about the branch and LIRR rolling stock. First time catching the cannonball since 2022.
Correction: 12:40 80 originates at Long Island City, not Babylon

    This is awesome to see its incredible how the engineering and structures are still there for the Northeast corridor from NYC to Boston granted the New Haven to Boston section being newer. Also curious on the New London Station in which is the third track going to be electrified since it was shown on an Amtrak official document of construction but nothing has happened there? Which is weird doesn't it disrupt service on the NEC Amtrak services and SLE?

    • @nathanjiang100
      @nathanjiang100 День назад

      so the bridge can move easier. note that the catenary is raised to allow the pantographs to spring to the highest setting without hitting anything and the train coasts across the power gap.

    Good Monday afternoon Nathan. This was really a outstanding video when you got past Providence and said you couldn't fix the camera focus it was still pretty good no complaints I was wondering if you would show the train as it was going past the VRF cameras and you did Plus one I didn't know about railside live New London camera. Just last week retired rail fan did a video right there riding the ferry from Long Island over there that was a good video also. I always mention you to him when I send a message both of you guys are outstanding. I am a little confused right now watching railside live East Greenwich Rhode Island every time I hear a train pass nothing is there where the camera is and then later on here comes a train with no sound it's like video and audio are out of sync.
