- It’s a beautiful summer day to get back to being trackside in the USA after a wonderful trip to Ireland.  The LIRR Ronkonkoma Line (which is part of the Main Line) is a superbly engineered, high speed railroad. We catch many MU’s flying by crossings and some gorgeous parkland. We see M7’s/M9’s/and quite a few Budd M3’s. We also catch a couple of diesel trains.  It was a gorgeous summer day to be out and about along this super railroad section of the LIRR.
Thanks for making these videos. I was born on Long Island. Makes me homesick!
Welcome back to you and your wife. Hope you had a great time in Ireland
Great video of the Ronkonkama Speedway. Thanks Tim. 💚😀👌
an LIRR EMU extravaganza
I Love Your Videos, You made Me and My Son start filming . I'm a Pilot, My Father worked for Grumman, and Your History strikes My Family and I! Keep up the Great Work!
Excellent!
Welcome HOME, Tim!!! Thanks for the catches.
Cool to see the M3s still running!!!
Just wanted to say how much I LOVE your videos and welcome back.
Thank you so much!!
Stand clear Timothy on that platform..Thanks and welcome back..Hope to visit the motherland someday..Family just returned first time there..Take care
i love your videos. reminds of my time in the NYC 12 years ago. the last time I was there, I rode the Ronkonkoma line via Penn Station, to Deer Park or Wyandanch to my cousin's place in Dix Hiils. I also missed the double decker diesels to Locust Valley. Speaking of A380 for Korean Air, I was on the first KAL A380 from Incheon to JFK.
Good evening brother Tim. I used to work in farmingdale on picone Blvd, I used to go to the McDonald’s right over on Main Street 😅😅. God bless
Nice video, Tim!!!! And welcome back to the USA!!!!! I saw your other videos from Ireland they had pretty cool trains there. I railfanned NJT/Metro North a bit while you were in Ireland. Hope you had fun at Ireland!!!
Im back on Long Island, Ill be filming at Manorville. Nice action!
Just to mention, I worked in Melville near the Pine Lawn station for 12 years back when it was single tracking.
13:27 - my great grandparents are buried out here.
I’d like to think they enjoy the trains passing them by.
When you got to the Pond Road crossing you weren't far from my house. 😀
Cool trains … need some spaghetti & meat balls 😊😊😊😊😊😋😋😋😉
I think i speak for all that we are ALL HAPPY that they did away with the trains that only went as far as CI or Brentwood and made them go all way to Ronkonkoma
I think the Irish rail class cars sound more like the DC Metro 7K series.
There also used to be South Farmingdale Station on the east side of Main St . S. Farmingdale on the Central Branch
Knew it well
26:10 I caught the same M3 last Thursday 7/27
Can u do a railfan a the Ronkonama station platform?
Don't you rest. You must be jet lagged! PS Irish cars are much cleaner!
Getting back to normal a bit each day. Getting out to the trains has a way of reviving me
Tim, most of these seem to be 10 car trains….with GCT and Penn, are they running greater freq. with shorter trains?
Pretty much. They don’t run as many 12,car trains.
Nothing will ever match the Budd RDCs.😢
I rode on Irish versions of those
So many EMUs, it's a veritable safari.
I’m going to get on a train at floral park today it’s going to be M9
Pinelawn... Croaking sucks because I dont think they have trains in Heaven. 🐸🐸🐸
Maybe they do
Wait, did they actually used to have a train that went only from Ronkonkoma to Jamaica?
Back when it was non-electrified that happened all the time
@@3985uprr Oh, isn’t it still electrified on the Ronkonkoma branch?
Cmack arena original home of basketball Nets?..Maybe the hockey Ducks way before the Islanders Tim..
Recall the arena
I have a question for you, what is your favorite LIRR passenger car?
The 2900 series P72. The P54’s were good also.
Where does the line from PW interlocking go to the Ronkonkoma and central branch split at Bethpage by Grummans plant ??
