Incredible footage! Nice to see 416, the last unofficial sticker unit with its sole M logo under its number, serving as the rescue train for the Meep. Definitely one of your greatest catches at Greenlawn yet!
What a rare consist and move! It would have been even more cool had the rescue train crossed Broadway at the same time as the regular westbound train. In the many times I traveled out of Greenlawn Station from 1986-2020, I only recall seeing passenger equipment once on Track 2. It was when track work at the crossing closed Track 1, and I got off the train on the south side. Oh, and I notice that the team track was taken out at some point.
Wow, I'm surprised they actually let passengers out on the south track. There was a train that broke down in the station and the whole branch was shut down, as opposed to just using the siding.
Nice catch‼ The guy crossing the tracks at 1751 had me laughing I said to myself there goes a guy without a care in the world crosses the tracks before the gate arms go up and never looks right or left at the second track to see if there's another train coming🤦♂️
I get a kick of of 423 which was converted from a 500 series. If you look the “423” from the right angle in the sun, it looks like they took a rough edged paint scraper to the old numbers. The metal is all scratched up under the new numbers.
There were a few 1500s that had flashing ditch lights back in the 90s iirc, but they've all been removed since then. To be honest I'm not sure why units don't have it equipped nowadays

I happened to be on an M7 into the city that Saturday and this rescue set passed us in between New Hyde Park and Floral Park.

Amazing video! New subscriber!
How do you keep on catching these failing diesels haha
Definitely a move to remember

Lots of good K5LA's out that evening.
4:46 what a child
love the thrum of an EMD. Are LIRR diesels not required to have flashing ditch lights while the bell is ringing?

The FRA rule only requires ditch lights. Flashing or not is up to the railroad mechanical departments discretion.
Stop Look And Listen 😾😭
12:55 Clunk!
11:35 me personally I think I would have busted my ass doing that😭
They sent out a crew that had a short time leash? Sounds like the clown show that is the MTA>
