Ride on LIRR #17 nonstop Speonk-Jamaica plus frenzied M3 action at Jamaica.

There’s nonstop ride from Speonk to Jamaica, was handled by a rather heroic engineer, who did amazing things on this run.  We were five minutes late out of Speonk and enroute we were delayed at Patchogue for a late eastbound, we nearly hit a person at Bayport and he had to dump the train, and we had a slow ride thru Babylon. Inspite of this, we arrived Jamaica exactly on schedule!! A great performance!! Upon arrival at Jamaica, the active M3 roster seemed to gang up on the station. We get a chance to see several of these trains, in addition to seeing action on the new tracks 11 and 12 platform.  It was the most exciting and thrilling day from the rural east end of Long Island to the bustling Jamaica station!!!! (At Lindenhurst at 54:39 roughly, that was #173 running west on track 2 in order to allow us to proceed at track speed on track 1. I was wondering where the train was I thought we may have passed it in Babylon). This cab car.#5021 has a unique quill horn.
