  • This caps off a great month. The wind was too much sometimes. I did everything I could to muffle it but action was typically frantic and you name it, I saw it there yesterday.

    I've been part of the Jamaica madness several times...changing trains or just psssing through. A rush hour change at Jamsica was most scary....very crowded platforms.
    Thanks for posting this.😀😀💙💙

    Great video! The diesel trains on the LIRR are my favorite. A relaxing smooth ride.

      But it would be more fun to see a string of "owl-eyes."
      And, lest we forget "ping- pong" coaches! Dashing Dan in gray and orange...

    Jamaica heading onto trains going to Montauk is the most hectic. Everyone is pushing each other and it can be really hectic. Since the train everyone goes for is the 11:21 Shuttle from Penn to Jamaica. Everyone going to Montauk and other points east via LIRR is on that train.

    I always wondered about this...
    How do those third rails work?
    Are they programmed to 'reach out' when the gaps occur?
    Maybe do a video on how the 3rd rail is used.
    Thanks for the coverage and good luck with your surgery ❤

    Love the sound of the diesels, the bell, and the K5LLA. Jamaica was always a fun place. How do you know all the train #s (not the car #s) - are you retired from the LIRR? Good stuff.

    Be glad you didn't come down to Philly. When you would of passed the Levittown-Tullytown station, you would of seen all the police cars lined up for the funeral and procession for our fallen troopers. Might of even seen them when the NEC parallels 95 from Cottman to just before Bridge st.
    Also later in the day, around 7pm it got real nasty weather wise. Some trees fell down in my neighborhood.

    Good Evening Tim!! I hope all is very well with you. I understand you are going to have surgery at the end of April. I hope it goes okay for you. One quick question for you. I know there is a LIRR train museum in Oyster Bay. Do you know if New York And Atlantic will be going to do anything like maybe deliver some freight cars there this summer? I know that they go on the Port Jefferson Branch to a Lumber Yard, on the Main Line out east to Riverhead, and on the Central Branch east of Bethpage as well. Please message me back and have a wonderful Easter and Passover Weekend!! Thanks my good friend!!

      During the p.m. rush-hour they use three tracks on the mainline east and some of those trains use track one

    Question for Retired Railfan and others...If you were limited to subscribing to one railfan magazine, and did not care about railroad modeling, what would be the best single magazine to get? (I have a 1940s vintage American Flyer train set, but am now more interested in real rolling stock, power...vintage and new...and railroading history and stories than anything else.) Thanks in advance for the feedback.

    • @3985uprr
      @3985uprr  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like Trains Magazine, Railpace, Railfan and Railroad, and Passenger Train Journal. All are good mags relating to real trains

    You do a real good job with your reporting and video, but have you ever thought about shooting a standup open or standup close? I really believe that a standup would add to your videos.
