4:02-the abandoned Woodhaven Station that was a connection to the Woodhaven Junction Station upstairs on the Rockaway Beach Branch. And somewhere just beyond is where the tracks to connect from the Rockasway Beacy Branch to the Atlantic Branch were.
Now if only Andy Byford (MTA's newest "Big Cheese") can get the subways to run with this kinda speed and smoothness (3:00 - 7:15)!!! I mean really...In this vid you got nice smooth welded rail with excellent alignment, securely mounted on half-ties in concrete roadbed. Even going thru the two crossovers (6:49 - 6:56) there was no bouncin' from side to side. And best of all: NO TIME CONTROL SIGNALS to slow the roll. Beautiful, I'm tellin' ya!!!!!!! I
As a kid around 16 yes ago(goddamn that's a long time) I used to watch the front all the time and my name is Anthony and the conductor and I had the same name and we talked. Good times. I miss coming home from school and talking to anthony
Love the movie but was a bit disappointed that entry into Atlantic Ave Terminal was cut short. I was hoping to see the track and platform configurations as I remember them from my time back in the 60's.
I have a video showing the platforms of Brooklyn. This was before the crash and then after that, a new Special Instruction required Conductors to be at the head end while approaching stations with a bumper block at the end.
Is this tunnel built uncer water and how is the train going and what is the tme run. We have never been to Atlantic city. Hope to visit there some day.
Jamaica is the 3rd busiest commuter station in the country. i dont get why when they build new signal gantries they just put in a PRR style signal. why not put their own signal?
Not possible with new rules in effect. I have another video going into Brooklyn. Just look it up. But Conductor is required to be with there Engineer when approaching a bumper block from here on out.
@@MrMaster767 oh ok. im living in montreal, canada u know. so i didnt know. but im very fascinated by nyc rail system. Lirr, metro north, amtrack, the subway..etc. its really fascunating. EXTREMELY
@@letsgogiants98 You gotta be kidding. The train's operator can't be trusted to stop before hitting the block? Maybe they ought to have some "timed signals" to slow the train and stop it if the train operator fails to do so. What a joke.

@Craig F. Thompson Can't type. Rockaway Beach

Back to ya.
Have looked at both videos (to and from Atlantic Terminal) over and over again. For me, just "habit-forming". Wonderful videos.

It's really more like a subway route than a suburban railroad.
With the exception of a station every half a mile or so
They should integrate it into NY subway.
@@LMB222 Voltage difference (600 vs 750v) and likely train car width difference
Made this express trip to Brooklyn many times when the thought of spending twice the amount of time on the subway made me crazy.
I miss the M3! Took it to work for many years. Thank you for this!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always wondered what this tunnel ( that runs right by my house was like, l hear the trains going by all day) was exactly, NOW I KNOW...
A quick look at Google maps would've answered that one...
Same bro
I take it East New York station is not as important as it sounds if it only has two platforms and it's not worth stopping at!

MrMaster767 When exactly did that crash happen?
@@WakkoKakko January 2017
Nice. I got lucky this week and last. Had an M3 3 times last week and 2 times this week...
Nice!
Great video. Thanks for the ride.
Thank you for this video. 👍😀
Yesterday I was out, but I saw 4 M3s in a row at Mineola on the tracker.
Oh yeah!
What tracker do you use?
I saw two M3 at Mineola it’s going to Huntington
Nice
o swear you going 85-90 in this tunnel only time i feel like were flying in a plane is this tunnel from jamica to east new york
70
Is this tunnel built uncer water and how is the train going and what is the tme run. We have never been to Atlantic city. Hope to visit there some day.
I have a question that you’ll might not know. When is the M9 going to be able to have passengers
GREAT!!
4:05 what train station was that?
abandoned woodhaven station, discontinued in 1962 and coming back to this video
Hey Craig are u gonna catch the cannonball westbound
Also did u here about the speonk inncedent
@@expressrailfan7129 When I have a Sunday off, yes and I did hear about it.
Also does the cannonball west come every Sunday this summer or just this once
And what time does it go pass Oakdale or great river
@@expressrailfan7129 Runs til Columbus weekend. About 8:15 or so
Everyday I hear them trains running underground
Where's part 2?
There is no other half. Before this was Far Rockaway to Valley Stream.
Jamaica is the 3rd busiest commuter station in the country. i dont get why when they build new signal gantries they just put in a PRR style signal. why not put their own signal?
There's not many position light signals left. Most of them at this point are temporary and that reduced aspect will be the replacement.

Horrible ending. Was hoping to see the arrival in Atlantic terminal

why stop filming?
The conductor has to be at the head end while they are approaching the bumper block. He had to get out of the way.

@@cats0182 Ever since that crash in Atlantic Terminal, they make us be up front with the engineer. It makes no sense.
