In case anyone is wondering the video ends at the Bridge because the Conductor needs to be riding at the head end when going toward a Station where the track ends in a bumper block. This is a reactionary rule to the incident at Atlantic.
It's the equivalent to requiring a flight attendant to be in the flight deck to supervising the pilot taxiing to the gate. What was the cause of the driver not stopping? Could it be they're not enforcing basic fitness requirements (proper sleep and no significant comorbidity like being overweight, or suffer from sleep problems)? www.rtands.com/safety-training/ntsb-says-fatigue-caused-lirr-nj-transit-accidents/
The large housing development towers just before Locust Manor is Rochdale Village cooperative. It was built in the 60’s on the site of the demolished Jamaica Race Track.
the LIRR is one of the oldest Railroad's still operating under its original Charter. it was controlled by the PRR for nearly 50 years. (1900-1949). Who is getting the M9s?
Its a shame.. All this speed restrictions/reductions have really put a damper on the LIRR as a whole.. i remember growing in Laurelton and the trains would blow by doing 70mph plus.. Now they barely reach 60mph it seems.. only stretch which doesnt seemed hampered is between jamaica and hicksville. almost as if the engineers cant be trusted to operate the trains... off soap box.. great vid..
The speed at Laurelton Station is 80mph, but the curves to the east and west are 60mph. AFAIK those curves were built in 1950 with a 60mph restriction. The RR has gotten slower over the years, though, and that's entirely 100% due to the automatic speed control. Track 1 west of Woodside is a 55mph curve. The ATC will put on max brake about 1.2 miles prior and bring you down to 40. (Which means you really need to be doing 35mph to avoid "hitting the code"). So you're operating a train at 35 mph, through a 55 curve, that can realistically handle 80mph without a train derailing over it. Montauk is another big one. You have 55 mph curves where the ATC will force you to operate below 38 mph, and it will do so over a mile before the restriction. The best branches for an engineer are greenport, Oyster Bay, and Babylon to Y interlocking, because there's no speed control to slow you down.
@7:29 a kid was electrocuted at the Power Station to the right. Helicopter Medivac team took him out. He survived. A very dangerous area to play as kids.
This video played back very jerky for me. Stats look OK: 27M connection, 30 sec buffer, no dropped frames. I haven't had the problem with your other videos.

A few years ago a train went through the bumper block
Thanks, I noticed the ended there too.

Excellent shot approaching the 1st "tunnel". Love the city stuff.
White Castles!!! That was the spot to go to after the movies at Sunrise Multiplex Theater. Time Flies...1980's have come and gone.
@Bobby Brady yes I also remember, the Flea Market also. Ben and Sol’s Delicatessen. Gertz..
LOL, we used to go there when I was a kid when what's now is the multiplex used to be a drive-in.

Kevin Howard hey kid lirr is
Cool! looking forward to seeing videos of them.
Idk MTA bought LIRR
The White Castle at Lynbrook Station. I hope it’s still there as they been closing in some spots.
It’s still there👍
Excellent video! The bay is so beautiful!
MrMaster767 I just came from seeing one of your videos lol
It would be cool to see a real-time Google map tracking in the bottom left of the screen as the video plays.
I kind of do that on my own but that would make it easier.
That’s the train I take every week to my brothers place
31:13 "Excuse Me, I actually have to be here...
Interesting pair of passengers on the platform around 22:33. Love the video, thanks for making it.

just cause theyre black and white doesnt mean theyre interesting

The speed differences are not as important as getting home safe.
A switch in front of the train moves at 14:37. At 8:00 there's a plane approaching JFK.
Aer Lingus. Flying on Aer Lingus this Wednesdey to NY, lol
Many thanx for the great ride..
Good shot, I'm guessing there is a camera holder for that whole time
Yup. My left arm
Laurelton Stop @7:30. I haven't been there in years.. Missing my family there...
@7:29 a kid was electrocuted at the Power Station to the right. Helicopter Medivac team took him out. He survived. A very dangerous area to play as kids.
1970's
GREAT VIDEO !!
How do you get to railfan as when I went on the LIRR, a few weeks ago in the front car, I did not see the front window.
The cars that had the front window, the M3s, are all in storage
I've been on an M3 to Long Beach, December 2017
@20:27, I never thought this was actual. Do people or animals touch the third rail on crossings like these?
no
Do you know how the trains pick up the electricity from alongside the tracks?
Never mind. Read about it on Wikipedia.
Great south bay at its narrowest .
It’s Reynolds channel
LOVE IT
This video should be titled LIRR Jamaica to Island Park since the train never gets to Long Beaqh station
Lovely
Is this line governed by CTEC??
Flemme de faire la maline avec mon copain mais je vais aller dormir parce un petit peu quand j’ai
how did you get a front view of a freat train
Freight Train? It's not. It is thee front window of an M3 Passenger train
@@NYCTARailfan oh the horn confused me I'm not american
like lirr train

At 16:12 - 16:15 : That is a house? Does someone live there?
That is Valley Tower. It is the tower for the Valley interlocking (set of switches) that the train is passing through.
