  • READ FIRST:
    Shot between 4:10 PM and 5:10 PM to the backdrop of a cloudy sunset and the NYC Subway IRT Flushing Line (7 trains) in the background on the elevated structure. Considering 41 minutes out of that hour is recorded, that should tell you how busy the rush hours are on the LIRR mainline. Over the course of the hour, we see just about everything: M3s, M7s, & DM30AC / DE30AC + C3 Bilevels, 4-way train meets, etc. There's even a friendly engineer who gives me a grade crossing sequence as he departs the station. Enjoy =)

    My daughter is a Senior Conductor on the LIRR. I remember the anguish she went through the first year with the studying and exams she went through. I remember the day she was presented with her LIRR conductors hat and name badge and how proud she was. Now she has seniority and usually a good choice of assignments and makes a very good wage and benefits. It wasn’t until I saw this video that I could appreciate what she has for from the beginning. I enjoyed your video. Thanks.

    Spent part of the afternoon here couple of days ago, and even right before the rush, the traffic levels are quite impressive, at around 1530, the deadhead runs into PS start up, and it gets really interesting.,.. do note the Pennsy-style stub signals, and the MN M2 , that hasn't been stripped of all its blue striping yet!

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Those are bridge plates. They are for when the track closest to the platform is closed. They allow trains to access the station from the express tracks.

    Why are trains running on diesel when there's a 3rd rail available? I understand there are outer stations not powered, but once they have power available, why not use it?

  • @TheTransitNetwork
    @TheTransitNetwork 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just a question before I try to railfan the LIRR on my main channel, To just go to the station do you need to buy a ticket? Or do you only need to buy a ticket to ride the train? I think you only need to buy the ticket if you ride, but I just want to make sure :O

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't need a ticket per se to be on the platform, but it's always better to be a "passenger" when you get hassled for filming. At least then you have an excuse to be there besides filming.

      Fan Railer About what time in the morning? Because I have been to Penn Station at about like 10:30/11:30

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      lol go look up the port jefferson branch schedule and find the direct trains. 10:30 is WAY past the rush hour so you've missed the last inbound train by an hour and a half already.

    Why is it that the LIRR uses its horns so much less that Metro North, NJT, and Amtrak?

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      This is Woodside; there may be different regulations governing horn usage within the city terminal zone, but once you get out onto Long Island, the horns are used regularly.

    • @sonicboy678
      @sonicboy678 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To add to this, there are almost no grade crossings within NYC, and likely fewer grade crossings in general. It also helps that there is little traffic from other railroads.

      through here? All tracks 60 mph in the station. There's a 45 mph curve directly west of the station though, so most trains are either accelerating out of it, or braking for it depending on direction of travel.
