I post videos of train routes in the NYC metropolitan area. I don't have a set schedule for uploading videos. Sometimes, I post videos once a week. Other times, I may go a few weeks without posting videos. I have a life outside of TH-cam (work, meeting women, exercising).
I make videos because I'm a railfan. These videos are available for your viewing pleasure free of charge. There is no Patreon on my channel. I welcome feedback, constructive criticism, and requests (within reason).
I try to make my videos as interesting as possible. If a train is operating slow or is in a tunnel where you can’t see anything then I’ll edit that out. There are also a few other things that I edit out of my videos (people using the n-word, disorderly conduct, babies crying, people coughing). I want the viewing experience to be pleasant.
Enjoy the ride!

@@Leonard_WilsonI didn't know that express trains could go to Ronkonkoma. Since when did they add express services to the Ronkonkoma branch?
@@ExpressRailfan They’ve always been around.
Ah the good old revived "Ronkonkoma Rocket", I hope someday I will be able to ride this train in the near future. Great footage!
how does such a small city receive such a large station?
@@johncrest-r6n I wouldn’t call Toronto small. Over 2 million people live there.
@@Leonard_Wilson Small compared to other cities in the US.
@@johncrest-r6nThere are four cities in the US that are larger by the proper limits. Nine by metro area. Out of all of the American metropolitan areas that are larger than Toronto, only the busiest station of one has more ridership. (NYC)

How come the video’s thumbnail was taken at Penn Station though? The train was going to Brooklyn and not Manhattan.
@@elevatortoiletandtransitfa9258 That was a clearer picture than the ones I took at Atlantic. The platforms at Penn are wider and better lit.

Thanks alot
Cool video!
Let's ride
Kid came in and ruined my view 😢
The kid and his father got on at the second stop. I let the kid have the window to himself- I didn’t want him to feel bad.
TBH I think Babylon is a cool place
I remembered doing the NJCL once back in 2022 from New York Penn Station to Asbury Park, but I had to transfer at Long Branch for the shuttle
R46 is by far the best piece of NYCT equipment, in my opinion. They’re so fun to ride and are very nostalgic.
great scenery!
Thanks
Great action, Penn has so much variety during rush!
They’re construction a new interlocking and station for Penn access
I took the LIRR to and from Oyster Bay.
It’s nice and scenic
Love it!
Thanks!
It would be a Special train no Doubt no doubt.
Lucky 🍀 you weren’t asked to stop recording.. it’s easier with phones now. They still have issues because of 9/11
I had to be discreet when I was making this video. I made sure that the Port Authority cops didn’t see me. That’s why part of the World Trade Center station is not in the video,

You can subscribe to my channel. I took a break from posting videos, but I have many videos that I’ll post in a few weeks.
id love to see you one day do the full ride from grand central to wassaic
I actually did the full ride. I split my videos up since three one hour videos with different rolling stock and different perspectives is more interesting than one three hour video. When I get a chance, I’ll post the links to my Harlem line videos.

I get recomendations all the time on TH-cam for videos about the "new" R211 train. I absolutely do not understand the endless joy about it. Do you understand that this is the technology of the previous century? Such trains ran in the Moscow subway in the early 90s! Look at how modern metro trains look like in Moscow and think about it: th-cam.com/video/l58oZmsEpdo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/HTHkThEfl5Y/w-d-xo.html

When was this video taken cause I though the R211 are out of service due to issues they had with power.
They still are, I think... for the time being. They'll end up having to retake the test yet again once they come back.
@@tristanrollock7331 so right now they are back in service
@@TransitFans Not right now
@@tristanrollock7331 now are the R211T still doing testing
This was taken a few months ago. I didn’t want to post four R211 videos in a row so I posted some other videos before posting this. This is my last R211 video (for now):
Elmont, the town where I grew up...... I commuted for 18 years from Floral Park, sometimes Valley Stream ! Too bad you weren't up front !
How is that rare??
Because M3’s on the LIRR are a rare sight these days. There’s only about 100 of them in service.
@@kobyschechter8163 Multiple M3s run a day, how is that “a rare sight”?
Unless one is using a 360 camera, it is safe to assume that the YT viewer is not endowed with the peripheral vision afforded to the OP - as such, the LGA SBS info screens, though interesting in themselves, would have benefitted from their own separate video \m/
I get what you’re saying. I showed the screen because in my videos, I like to show the interior of the train or bus. I want the viewer to feel like they’re riding the vehicle. I’ll incorporate your suggestion into future videos.
