Riding the LIRR’s “Z Train” from Jamaica to Farmingdale. (3/13/22)

On Sunday, March 13th, me and a friend rode the "Z train" from Jamaica to Farmingdale. It took a total of around 2 and a half hours from our starting point to Farmingdale. Much longer than a normal KO train would take. The "Z" train is named after the route they take. Going from Jamaica to Babylon, then Babylon to BETH, and BETH to Ronkonkoma forms a Z. The "Z" trains run on weekends when there...

    I hope that when the new Siemens SC42-DM's arrive on the LIRR that that will use the electric 3rd rail to the farthest extent they can, then switch over to diesel when there is no more 3rd rail. Would save a lot on fuel costs for the railroad.

Remember: California will continue in its folly until it no longer can. The last one to leave will not have to turn the lights out.

    This is a great video! I don't live on LI anymore but I'm glad the project is done. There are generous noise attenuation walls as well. Maybe the cranky NIMBYs in Floral Park and New Hyde Park will go back to bed. They fail to realize that without the railroad their town wouldn't exist. Any historians out there? After the Port Washington branch peels off to the left you can see the line was 6 tracks. Some of the rails are still there and all of the bridges are built for 6 tracks. I was told that the railroad served local communities before the subway service came to life. The 6-track infrastructure seems to end about a mile before Forest Hills. If anyone knows about this please share it. Cheers
