- Today switched the Calverton Spur and Paraco Gas in Riverhead. Caught a couple of passenger trains too. A super fun day!!!!!!!!! My apologies. I was confusing Paraco Gas with Amerigas. My bad!!!!
Love the livery colors, 261 has a nasty tick.
An excellent example of railfanning 'with purpose' - providing content that is thoroughly interesting and enjoyable. Tells a great story.
How is it I’m living on Long Island 58 years never seen a freight train
I've spent many of my almost 27 years living very close to LIRR tracks, yet I've never once seen a NYA train pass by, nor have I seen one whilst riding the LIRR myself. Very cool!
I've probably seen you guys round Holbrook. I rail fan the NY&A all the time.
The 270 looks sharp with the new lettering for its number boards. Looks a lot like how it used to when the locomotives were brand new
Great catch! It’s really cool to the the only general signals type 2 electronic bell on Long Island activate and have it coughs on tape!
There used to be a passenger station on central branch in South Farmingdale , by main st .
Do these trains run everyday
Cool to see how the cars are exchanged.
Where is the location at 12:21? Looks like a lovely place to watch LI freight.
It’s a seldom used Spur.
AH block limit . AH stands for Annie Hill who ran a brothel back in the day when there was a train yard there .
From Wisconsin, I’m a new fan of your channel and the NY&A with their mix of clean PR and vintage EMD power. I’ve never been to Long Island and I enjoy seeing the sights along the line. Is that the Pine Barrens area where the fence company was being switched? And is there a story about the cabooses near Paraco Gas (at about 20:22 of the vid)? Thanks for the interesting production!
Yes, that is the pine barrens. The caboose has had recently been moved to a museum in nearby Riverhead.
I'm excited I just bought one of the old Fairbanks Morse loco s
Last one left in hobby shop .
Awesome video! You got yourself a new sub, and a new fan of the NYA!
Saw that freight train in McDonald’s central islip
Where did this train originate from
Pineaire Yard
@@3985uprr thanks looking for pics of that yard and there are none
@@NYandAtlantic It’s hard to get to
@@3985uprr that stinks I built a 4x8 ho table need a yard but am thinking I might model after our short line rr here on Long Island
I built all those block limits in Ronkonkama yard .
Been waiting to see another video like this. Great job.
Excellent video
Nice catch.
What locomotives are they GP??
GP38-2
Great job following a train in the course of its duties. Nice action and scenic locations. Well filmed.
Awesome!!! I live right near the Coates Ave crossing in Holbrook!!!
Nice place to pull over and get trains
Which type of air horn do they use in these locomotives?
K5LA or RS3L
Nice video and excellent locations!
Great catch. I thought that spur that goes into Grumman was abandoned. A few weeks ago I caught 261 and 270 doing the same maneuver at 17:14
Where can I find this spur on Google Maps?
If I’m not mistaken RS70 runs thru holbrook at around 10 tomorrow right?
Nice chase! I am trying to put together a list of NYAR jobs. I don't know if I got the accurate descriptions though, as far as you know, did I?
RS40: Works all customers on the Montauk Branch, the Hicksville Team Yard, all Port Jefferson Branch customers, and the Central Branch as needed.
RS50: Fresh Pond to Pine Aire, nighttime job.
RS60: Pine Aire local, does all work around there as well as some trips to Fresh Pond.
RS70: Fresh Pond to Yaphank, midday/afternoon
RS80: Fresh Pond eastbound at night, switches Coastal Container in Farmingdale, Combined Container and Amerigas in Wyandanch, and the Central Branch as needed.
American container in Wyandanch they no longer serve
The 50 runs light from Pine aire to Coastal in Farmingdale, picks up the loads and runs to Fresh Pond. Qfter picking up the cars at Fresh Pond, it runs back to Pine Aire.
The RS81 runs from Fresh Pond to Coastal with empties for coastal, then runs light to Pine Aire, picks up cars and runs mixed back to Pine Aire
Amerigas in Wyandanch has not been served since like 2005 and Island Container in Wyandanch hasnt seen cars since 2016ish
Nice video sir . Railfan from Massachusetts
Really enjoyed this video! Would love to see some of this action myself. Is there any freight schedule I could see or is it all hit or miss?
AH Block Limit in Calverton stands for bAiting Hollow.
What convoluted logic!!!
@@3985uprr There isn't much logic on the railroad at times. LOL
What do the blue flags mean
Track blocked for movement. Can’t move into that area until those flags are removed.
@@3985uprr thanks wouldn’t have known that
@@3985uprr your video footage is excellent did u ever Ck out djstrains he has some awesome drone footage
@@NYandAtlantic Not really into drones.
@@3985uprr the footage he gets is insane
I would like to catch this myself, I live on the eastern end near greenport, how did you know he was heading all the way to riverhead?
Nice catch at 1:50
How’s the train spotting up on the northern routes by Port Jefferson, Oyster Bay, and Port Washington? I’d like to see those areas of Long Island too if possible. Any plans to shoot some video there? I’m really getting a great feel for Long Island from watching all your fantastic work. Thanks very much.
I have done a few Oyster Bay/Port Jeff Branch videos
What does RS mean as in RS70
Might mean Road Shifter. They used to be RF or road freight
@@3985uprr thanks for your help now if I can just catch this live
"Road Switch."
As a long islander and train lover I really enjoyed watching this! You clearly know your stuff I hope to be as knowledgeable as you one day.
Can you tell me how you know these freight trains are going across the island? Do you have access to a schedule?
Do they run out to Eastern Fence regularly or is it still an as needed thing? I'd love to follow them out here and to Riverhead one day, but don't know how often they make this run. Awesome content, by the way!
