  • Okay so I have been really busy with school and have not posted any of my videos from the last two months. This one is important because I saw #254, #253, and #256 along the Greenport Line on Friday, Sept. 16th before going on my trip to ride in the dome car on the Downeaster.
    Trains are as follows:
    1.) EB #254 from Ronkonkoma to Greenport. Video taken at Mattituck.
    2.) EB #256 from Ronkonkoma to Greenport. Video taken at Mattituck. This train was operating 17 minutes late.
    3.) WB #253 from Greenport to Ronkonkoma, then express to Jamaica. Video taken at Southold. This train was a bit late because #256 was late and #253's equipment comes from #256.

    I can see a day that they will replace the C3 cars and engines with DMU battery powered cars on the Greenport line. The Montauk line can always need more equipment. West Bounds are packed on Sunday.

    The greenport line is so underrated, rail fanning out there is so peaceful and quiet

    Love the North Fork of Long Island. It's like you're not even in NY.

      I totally agree. It's so pretty and rural which gives it a sense of coziness.

      It's the best part of Long Island, but it's slowly getting more and more developed each time I visit, which is tragic. I hope it never becomes like The Hamptons.

    Could somebody tell me what SI 1103-G means?

      It informs the engineer that only one blow of the horn is needed for the crossing because it is so close. Instead of long...long...short..long,

    I went to Montauk, NY once and I'd love to visit there again and also Greenport.

      Greenport is really nice I highly recommend going there, I like the North Fork of Long Island better than the south fork

    How often do trains pass through the central branch? I was at Albany Ave with my dad for 3 full hours and never saw one.

    • @MegaDa99
      @MegaDa99  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      During which 3 hours were you there? All of the Montauk diesels use the Central Branch except 2733, 2735, 2747, and 2720 which take the Babylon Branch (technically called Montauk Branch).

      I spent years 0-4 (1995-99) of my life next to the central branch in Farmingdale, would see and hear freight movement and the ol' Pullman cars. Sorry for the random story.

    two track signs I don't understand one is a capital K and the other is S D. Help me please.

    • @TheChachLINY
      @TheChachLINY 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Manual Block stations. They indicate the call letter. K stands for mattitucK and SD stands for SoutholD. At those block limits you need K cards to pass through unless you have to pass each manual block prepared to stop. There are no signals on this section of the Main Line between Ronkonkoma-Greenport

    What does that repeating bell sound do? Is it a traditional thing or does it serve a purpose?

    • @supered227
      @supered227 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      DOC100 it’s an indication to everyone standing around the train that it’s about to move.
