You should make a part two! This was excellent! I saw some stuff I didn't even know existed on the LIRR! I can tell you worked very hard on this! If you do make part 2 you should talk about the LIRR MP15AC'S and SW1001's parts units at Morris park and the LIRR M7 battery operated train tested on the oyster bay line! Keep up the great work!
I grew up on the Island and used to ride LIRR for years. Every time I return to the Island I end up riding the LIRR somewhere. I will be back sometime in 2022.
Born and raised on Long Island for 23 years. Diehard rail fan too, I never knew there was an ice berg, other than the abandoned spurs near NCC, Kings Park & Pilgrim State psych centers, and the rock away beach branch. Very interesting stuff and it’s nice to see this railway get more Recognition.
Very interesting & informative! Minor correction, they leased RS-3’s not 2’s from the Reading. You missed the combine in Terryville ( near Pt. Jeff.) also. Thanks for the credit (1974 preservation cars) too.
I am an Oregonian, born in Ohio, but I love the LIRR. My Grandfather, Homer Weatherly, retired in 1970 as the Chief Engineer of Switches and Signals on that Road and was a dedicated LIRR/Pensy man to his dying day. He never had anything polite to say about the Penn Central.
(20:17) I would like to see another experimental livery with a MP15AC It would be pretty cool to see a MP15AC in a gray and orange world's fair livery if LIRR would actually paint that livery on a MP15AC and not a SW1001
I remember being on a couple of excursion trains back in the early 1950s. One of them was "Farewell to Steam" I recall a locomotive being reversed on a wye at Port Jefferson. Also going to Bay Ridge and seeing LIRR switchers with catenery, since the New York Connecting Rwy had overhead power. Another route was from Valley Stream through West Hempstead, past CLP and on to Oyster Bay via Mineola. For fun I would ride my bike to Mineola in the afternoon to watch the steam locomotives, since 3rd rail on the main line ended at Mineola.
Great video. Very interesting LIRR facts and trivia. I’d like to have seen more on scheduled fan trips over the years. Specifically the 1971 good bye fan trip running MU electric double deckers which ran to Huntington on the newly electrified track from Mineola to Huntington that never ran anything but M1s and diesel. I believe that was the only time any MU electric cars ran to Huntington other than M1 cars. I did see this double decker MU electric train at Syosset but had no camera with me.
404 is usually the troll engine on the LIRR as we called it, lol. Also LIRR mp15 still have HEP for passenger cars. Also great video! Lots of history I never knew coming from an LIRR family for many many years!!!!
Go right ahead! I was able to pull off this much info for the LIRR since it's my home railroad, but there's plenty of info on endless railroads around the nation that can be researched by other railfans and historians. (That, and it would take me a while to make an iceberg on every other railroad).
Now, as a native Long Islander, do you hunt missionaries and cook them? You have a nice presentation of LIRR leased and historic power, although we all know, true LIRR power is painted gray and orange, and was constructed by ALCO. Still, when one considers your youth, you can be forgiven in your belief that EMD power is real LIRR power!
I come in peace, and I respect all time periods for various railroads. Depending on who you ask, true LIRR power could be black ten wheelers leased from the Pennsy (hence my channel name, minus the typo).
OK so funny thing when they were talking about the oyster Bay branch I switch to iPhone maps to see where the electrification ended and then when I went back to the station, I actually saw a electric m7 stationed there
Honestly the wading river reactivation as a tourist railroad isn’t a bad idea at all. It can also be used in regular service. The only problem is… Between the end of the Port Jeff east yard and Crystal Brook Hallow rd, the ROW is filled with homes. This is really the only defect considering the rest of the ROW is cleared
Unfortunately there is no market for tourist railroads on long island. The reactivation of any rail east of PJ would need to prove it could support commuter service, which it can't. That would be handled by the Ronkonkoma branch.
17:21 I grew up in Rocky Point, Wading River branch desperately needs to be reactivated. The traffic on the north shore in this area continues to get worse and the development of land surrounding 25A never stops. It's part of why I moved to the south shore and would never go back north. Also at 22:14, I've seen pictures of Metro North M3s when they were brand new on the Babylon branch in 1984.
(21:47) As this being one of my favorite videos on the channel I decided to revisit it. I wish the museum could have been built there. It would be cool to see #261 there but do you know what number MP15AC would go there? Possibly #170 as it is still in a work train blue and yellow livery?
@@Pensyfan19 I can't imagine them having any heritage units, other than previous LIRR color schemes. Does anybody these days know if the colors used by the CRRLI, SRRLI, F&NS, etcetera?
The MTA has always hated the LIRR for that. The MTA has made a concerted effort in the last decade or so to infiltrate leadership with MTA clones to purposefully stop it.
Locust Valley also has two stations,still extant! The original is also a residence,and is located in the vicinity! The station,now used is the second one! So Smithtown isn't the only one! See Mr. Morrison's book,and Ron Zeil's,"Steel Rails to the Sunrise". Thank you for the information,there's stuff there which definitely got under my radar 😀! If you want,I can point you to the LV station,as it wasn't to far from where I used to live!! Literally up the road! Thank you,again 😊 🙏 😊 🙏 😊!
Back in the early 70s I read in the Daily news about the purchase of several train cars that were TOO BIG to fit in the tunnel to penn sta and could only go to brooklyn. A few months later there was a follow up story about how these TOO BIG cars were sold for scrap at a terrible loss of money. I would love a story about this. thanks
I don't think anything that was too big for Penn would be able to fit in Brooklyn. The MTA had to undergo massive construction on the Atlantic Terminal Branch just to get the M1s to fit due to the extremely limited clearance I Brooklyn, which is not an issue for Penn. Maybe what you read had to do with a maintenance piece of some sort.
I grew up in Port Jeff with no air conditioning, 1 block from the tracks, and we heard the trains being assembled for the next day. Did I miss it the vertical jet engine ice remover? I saw it operating once arouns 1992.
I'm surprised you missed the Amtrak specials that did service on the Port Washington line. An empire service special from Albany to Mets Stadium/ Tennis Stadium in the late 90s early 2000s
imagine accidentally walking into railway property on a hike or something only to see a helicopter charging towards you trying to get you arrested imho they should have used it for some sort of "ultra express" service to montauk or something
What are your thoughts about the demolition of all the original buildings at mineola station to make room for 3rd track? I took some good pictures before they were destroyed
Great iceberg but the Long Island Railroad isn't the most continustly working railroad in the world, it is in the USA but not the World, the Most Continustly working railway in the world is the Middleton Railway in the UK, the Middleton Railway was opened as a Horse Drawn Railway in 1758, the line was bought by Preservationists in 1960, The Middleton Railway is also the first Standard Gauge Preserved Railway to have ever opened
I'd honestly love to see another steam excursion on Long Island like what they did with BR&W #60, but I can almost guarantee that the LIRR these days (and the MTA in general) is very much against steam engines, so that'll most likely never happen
Used to love to take the trip from Babylon all the way to Long Island City (Queens) before they terminated that stop. You would get out there to almost a wasteland, nothing really around to most normies but loved the visual & grimey atmosphere that was in LIC
@@Pensyfan19 definitely, but nomenclature for the LIRR is still Rail Road as it was originally charted and is published on all LIRR documents, or else it would be the LIR like MNR (Metro North Railroad). Good stuff regardless!

Very interesting history! In addition to KCS, the LIRR also borrowed coaches from other railroads to make up their famous Cannonball train to the Hamptons in the 1960s. However, these coaches (with 426 being renumbered to 8546) were repainted into LIRR colors and served on what I assume to be the Greenport and Montauk branches. Thank you for bringing light upon this interesting coach.
Those KCS coaches also ran on the Oyster Bay branch,too! There also were ex-NYC,and B&M,equipment,running on various branches! The B&M,cars were converted into Bar cars[ run as breakfast cars,on morning runs],the OB,had two parlor cars,in conjunction with the Bar cars!! Later replaced with converted P72's,and MP72's,very interesting operations!!
