LIRR M3 RFW on Train

-  My Irish luck was biting hard.  I was planning on taking this train into the city today for dinner and lo and behold, It had M3’s. Even my train home had M3’s but I sat that one out. It was raining even harder on the way home.  The trip in had some rain, but it didn’t look too bad. This was a much speedier run than my train #167 a couple of weeks ago even though it made more stops. All stations, interlockings, signal indications are identified. Somehow I think I was able to ID all of the passing trains and there were a lot of them .

An enjoyable trip from the comfort of my couch here in Dublin
Always fun seeing third rail power and catenary power come together at sunny side
Can't wait to ride the M9's this summer on Babylon train. After passing St. Albans station westbound, and the Old "Yellow Boston & Maine "coaches. I will see remnants of old Chock-full-O-Nuts coffee factory, now that "Prime Storage " building on the left. Great memories. Thanks for the ride....😊
I guess I will have to live vicariously through you. My home branch rarely gets M3’s as most equipment operates Grand Central Terminal-xxx-Penn Station or vice versa.
Love the video Tim

As always, excellent video Timmy.
My ex used to call me Timmy 😩😩😀😀
That Was Funny
I never seen an M3 go to Manhattan during pm rush hour
Happens on occasion. It usually goes right out on a Ronkonkoma train shortly after arriving New York.
Hope you can do as many of these as possible. Long live the M3 and M3A!

Nice video Tim. I rode the LIRR that day as well. I went from Grand Central terminal to Port Washington then to Woodside. Then I took the 7 train to Junction Blvd and then back to Manhattan. I see you got M3s both ways. By contrast I had newer M9s both ways on the LIRR that day. You passed through Woodside about an hour after I left.
Nice express ride##💚💚👌👌
Very nice! I'd love to see a rush hour M3 RFW on Metro North someday. :))
They’re a little harder to do on Metro-North.
38:08 so their building a jump over for the West Hempstead branch, is their any mentions of it’s construction on the MTA website?
It should be somewhere. That’s a jump over actually over the Atlantic branch.
What’s with the NJT at 55:08? Never seen that before in these parts…
They were coming out of Sunnyside yard
You do really nice vids in a variety of locations. I thought the Budd M3s were all retired.
Still quite a few of those running. They brought them out of retirement when the pandemic eased, and until they get more M9’s
Ok, thanks for info. Hello from Australia.😀
i counted 100 of them still in service
@@Kenso53 Gotta go there before I die and waltz with Matilda.
Nice fast video. I still find color light signals on LIRR unusual.
They are starting to replace the position lights bit by bit with reduced aspect signals and color lights
Knowing LIRR their position based signal system is probably wayyyyy older than the color based signals. I have to wonder when LIRR does eventually switch to Amtrak style signaling will they also use ACSES on the entire network, from what I've been told that "christmas tree" right before Woodside is where LIRR enters ACSES territory and before then they just operate under ATC only.
@@mrvwbug4423 ACSES is on all the mainline tracks. Sometimes there are glitches or construction outages

I often wondered what does the bell going off inside the cab of the M3 mean? I used to think it meant to slow down but noticed that it goes off even when the train is moving pretty fast and not slowing down.
It usually means a train is entering a speed restriction. Also it’s an alerter to make sure the engineer is still there and he has to acknowledge it
@@3985uprr Awesome! Thank You.
Hello My NAME MR PUMERNICKLE I AM YOUR MOTOR Man
Am Track Uses Lines1'2 And Lirr Uses Lines 3'4
I also kind of remember Valley Stream being an occasional Babylon run stop. Did something significant change in that section in the last sigh 50 years?😊
There was a time recently when some trains stopped there, but for the most part they didn’t
How did Massapequa Park get a station? Awfully close to Massapequa. 😀
It’s a separate municipality that provided decent ridership
@@3985uprrI assumed it was developers and or the mob. 😀
If you’re in a M3 how are you getting this front view footage considering it’s only 1 window and that’s on the operator side only 🤔
He's using the door window I think.
They have a center door window.
The LIRR M3s can’t go to Grand Central Terminal because they’re not powerful enough??? Is that why they don’t run on the Port Washington Branch anymore?? I don’t seem to see M3s on the Port Washington Branch any more. Tho I do like the M9s.
They run them sometimes, but not often. They usually can be found on a equipment cycle that doesn’t involve Grand Central.
what does the blinking red signals mean? like in woodside.
It can mean that the route is lined for a movement in the opposite direction
@@3985uprr i see. thanks, i really love your videos, very informative.
Stop and Proceed signal
I presume the Babylon line wasn’t always elevated.
A lot of construction in the late 60’s early 79’s if memory serves.
No, as a child, many were at ground level with lots of railroad crossings
I likely have my dates way off but do vividly remember their building the raised sections while the existing were in service then cutting over at some point. A whole lot of concrete.
When the M1 cars entered revenue service in 1968, the following stations were still at grade-level: Lindenhurst, Copiague, Amityville, Massapequa Park, Bellmore, and Merrick. Twenty-two grade crossings still existed; Lindenhurst, Copiague, and Amityville were elevated from 10/25/1968 to 8/7/1973 (11 eliminated), Massapequa Park was elevated from 12/21/1977 to 12/13/1980 (3 eliminated), and Bellmore & Merrick were elevated from 12/4/1970 to 6/28/1975 (8 eliminated).
I remember the Lindenhurst station that was temporary. It was a much easier walk from my house than the current one is it’s much further east. This is what I enjoy about the current Ronkonkoma line as it’s like what the Babylon line used to be. High speed and many crossings
