West Hempstead trains don’t make scheduled stops at Valley Stream regularly anymore. They normally travel via the Babylon branch because they stop at St. Albans. However on this specific weekend they were not stopping at St. Albans when heading towards Manhattan, so they routed it via the Atlantic Branch on the way back.
@@Lirrfilmer2004 The first weekday train in the AM rush also only went as far as Valley Stream where passengers had to change for the next train from Long Beach to go to Penn Station or Brooklyn. I used to ride on it occasionally when I lived in Valley Stream.

Great content as always.
Thanks!
Gez, those newer trains sound like they're about ready to fall apart...... The M-1, and M-3 still can't be beat. The original Metropolitans !
