Hello all. Thank you for watching my video capturing my July 2023 trip to Long Island using Amtrak and the Long Island Railroad. This is the longest video on this channel to date and a lot of effort went into this one. There are two places where I misspoke. I went back and caught the first one, but I missed the second one in my narration. it's Baltimore-Penn Station and not Baltimore-Union Station. Secondly the Long Island Railroad equipment that I road on was a consist of M7 units and not M9 units. Thank you to CommuterTrainFan below for pointing that out. I'm astounded by the knowledge of the viewers in this sector.
Reminds me of many trips that I have taken.
Happy 4th RRFHG. Thank you for the comment. Yes I imagine you've made this trip a million times. Salute.
Fantastic video, very well done.
Thank you for watching sir. I know some TH-cam viewers won't watch a video if it's too long, so as I edited this, I tried to strike a balance between length and capturing this journey.
I’m not quite sure why this ended up in my feed but I really enjoyed your narration throughout the journey.
Hello @@andriadaisy . Yes TH-cam works in very mysterious ways. Thank you for watching, subbing and for your kind words about my narration.
Point of interest at 16:08.
The Virginia Avenue Tower is a two-story, late Victorian railroad interlocking control tower. It was erected circa 1905 as a railroad interlocking station, responsible for mechanically switching trains between the First Street tunnel connection to Union Station and the main Pennsylvania Railroad freight line along Virginia Avenue. Historic Land Mark. Completely renovated by CSX. National Register of Historic Places.
Hello @@whereisthedollar . Thank you for sharing that. There are so many historical structures along this route. I never knew what that was. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
Wow, my starting location is Alexandria as well, and I also take the train up to Long Island! But luckily, my destination town is only 35 minutes from Penn Station, so it is a lot more manageable. However, I mostly drive between those points these days and only use DC/Alexandria and NYP as starting points for much longer journeys on Amtrak throughout the country!
GM @@mikeymutual5489 . Yep. I love this ride.
@@Railfan76-ht1yj Have you done any cross country trips on Amtrak yet? I'd love to see the content!
Not yet @@mikeymutual5489 . I've ridden the Crescent from Charlotte and then connected to Buffalo and also the Lakeshore Limited from Toledo eastwards but that's it. I would like to try the cross country trips though.
The LIRR train was an M7 and not an M9
The M9 have the blue, black and yellow stripe near the cab
Hello and thank you@@CommuterTrainFan . Thank you for calling this to my attention. I did a quick Google search and probably should have done more homework. If I ever remaster this one I'll be sure to make that correction.
