    At 17:11 the track that goes off to the right is the abandoned Flushing to floral park part of the central branch. It would travel from here stopping at Kissena, Frankinston, Creedmore and hinsdale (current Floral Park) It would then go down the current Hempstead branch all the way to Garden City, where it would continue straight to Bethpage, and then Babylon. The Flushing to Floral park section was abandoned in 1879, but the tracks weren’t took up until WWI. After the war the only parts of the tracks that remained was the section from floral park to creedmore. In the 1920s a track was built up to Creedmore psychiatric center ending normal passenger service on the branch. Up until the early 1960s the creedmore branch served doctors and patients for the psych center. In maps after 1978 the creedmore branch would not appear. The branch from garden city to bethpage was still in good use. Around the same time the creedmore branch closed, the branch from Mitchel Feild to bethpage was torn up. Passenger service lasted until the early to mid 70s. The branch is still used for freight though. From Bethpage to Babylon is the only part of the central branch that is still working in passenger service. It Connects Bethpage to Babylon so Montauk trains can travel to Jamaica and Penn Station.

    When I was a young kid I lived in Great Neck and every time I went into the city with my father I would always go to the first car and stare out the window the entire way. I moved out of LI around 99' when I was less than 10 years old and haven't taken this train since. Watching this video is like you somehow reached into my earliest memories and posted it directly on youtube. Every detail is correct right down to the specific branch of the LIRR. Its uncanny. How the hell did the algorithm know to show me?

    eastern LI railroads are so beautiful in the warm months with all that greenery. first time i rode it (a 4pm out of port jeff in summer 2021), somewhere in suffolk i saw a buck laying in greenery basking in a patch of sunlight. i thought it was a statue initially- absolutely beautiful.

    I notice no horn warning approaching the grade crossing at Little Neck and no whistle warning sign for the operator. I remember reading that officials in the area were looking to see if an exception could be made to not require the horn warning. Anyway great video as usual. Thank you. Update: My research tells me that some years back the Little Neck Pkwy crossing got the Quiet Zone designation after the install of quadrant gates at the crossing.

    What's the typical speed of these trains? I'm used to the CTA train speeds, so a nice change of pace. Nice footage, btw. Enjoyed the banter at the end. I find the NYC area to be deceptively beautiful and geographically diverse.

    • @jsunflyguy
      @jsunflyguy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Max speed is 60mph to Great Neck, 50mph East of Great Neck.
      The stretch from Woodside to Flushing is timetabled a little slower because all trains have time scheduled to make a stop at Mets Willets Point.

    • @thephantomeagle2
      @thephantomeagle2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, but if you took any of the CTA Lines, aside from the Blue Line, since it goes to O'Hare, by the time you go to the first stop on this train, you'd pretty much run the entire length of any line, and the loop would be a full loop and then some. Secondly, there are so many stations, that getting to those speeds would be virtually impossible.
      Metra, though, which is a lot close to what this is for Chicago, moves much faster.

    • @kkparis
      @kkparis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Port Washington is a short branch on the LIRR so the average speed is a little lower. An express train on the LIRR mainline have no problem going 80mph.

      Only the East River tubes have those duct banks on both sides. They are actually too high to function as emergency egress from a train. One of the many upgrades the existing tunnels require.

      Also, the large and tall trestle that connects Great Neck with Manhasset was made who-knows-when and has only 1 track. They would have to build a new trestle and somehow widen the bed at the Manhasset station which I'm sure would mean demolishing the grand old station.
