  • Metro-North's Harlem Upper Harlem electrification was done in 1984. The Long Island had a like project that opened in 1987. This video was taken on a peak express making just three stops on the trip to Ronkonkoma. The line will soon be double tracked.
    Note this IS an M-1 verified by the cab window on vertical (not horizontal track), and no mid-car vent structures in place of two seats.

    Thanks for this cool video. In my opinion the accident in Valhalla should never of happened. Better techniques need to be in play to ensure that motorists are not able to have their vehicles on tracks . I'm no expert but obviously the arm gate is not enough at these crossings especially in close to the city suburbs where traffic is an issue.

    Peak PM Rush Hour train? If this is one, you had to be on that 5:41 train. Because that's the only train that makes only three stops: Hicksville, Central Islip and terminated at Ronkonkoma.

      trainluvr It stopped at Bethpage too. Can't believe how much has changed too, Roslyn Road is gone, I had no idea the Bethpage water tower was erected in 1999, Stewart Avenue is now a "Drawbridge" crossing, Lowell Avenue was converted to that (thought it was like that when it was electrified) and all of those billboard at Ronkonkoma were taken down. Plus the addition of Solari Signs, but unfortunately the M1 being retired. What an idiot that guy was when you were going through Mineola, a double meet and he's getting across the tracks with flashing red lights!

    • @mattkowal90

      trainluvr It not only stopped at Bethpage, but if you hear the P.A system when it's departing Bethpage it says "Farmingdale Next." Crossings in order that it went through:
      1.) Covert Avenue
      2.) 12th Street
      3.) New Hyde Park Road
      4.) Mineola Pedestrian Crossing
      5.) Main Street
      6.) Willis Avenue
      7.) Gates going down at School Street
      8.) Urban Avenue
      9.) South Oyster Bay Road
      10.) Grumman Crossing (No longer exists)
      11.) Stewart Avenue
      12.) East Great Neck Road
      13.) Lowell Avenue
      It didn't cross Roslyn Road, South Road, and Broadway in the video.

    need to find ways to reduce or eliminate all those grade crossings, they are an accident waiting to happen. Yeah, the train can smash through a car but put a loaded dump truck or cement truck in front of it and you'll have a disaster. before electrification the LIRR used some of it old cab units on the rear of push/pull trainsets as the push cab, at least you hit things with a locomotive either way, I never liked riding in a cab car, some years ago the MARC train into DC proved me right on that.

    I love the time frame, I started riding these things in the late 1980s..but I really don't like the M1 and M3s. Low-back seating, stinky airplane style bathrooms, and overall discomfort. The only plus is their ice-cold AC.
