Loved this video. I grew up in E. North Port and moved out in '86 at the age of 22. Watching this brought back a lot of great memories of my childhood.
@@Obrien975 yeah man. I was like 17at the time. Picked up Triano hitching on 25A from KP to Northport. He didn't talk much, but I already knew they were heavily into dust. So I was like....ugh why did I pick this dude up. The whole thing in the woods was about money. Felt bad for that kid. Just hanging with the wrong crowd.
Great video. It brings back memories of riding the LIRR to Patchogue during the early to mid ‘80s. I had friends in Bellport I visited on weekends. I loved the power, but the coaches left much to be desired.
I would get so excited when I was growing up to get a glimpse of the diesel engines at Jamaica. The trains now are all boring although the M9s are kind of sharp.
Absolutely fantastic, thanks as always for taking the time to upload. Rare to see footage (or even photos) at the Suffolk Matls siding. The Smithtown stuff is always a treat.
The only video from Kings Park is with MP-15's. Its been uploaded on my channel for many years. Maybe I'll make a video of the stills and slides from there. ua-cam.com/video/liXov9y1hyg/v-deo.html
This video is great. Did you live in Patchouge? For us at the time, that was the nearest town that had a lot more than we had. I remember "Wahlum" chinese restaurant. I lived in Center Moriches in the 70's on Chichester Ave . about 5 houses east from the Grade Crossing. We ran up there many times to see the trains. I also remember The C420's when they were painted the Orange and Gray. Thanks for sharing these great days.
I really love your old LIRR videos. This is the LIRR I grew up with.
Nothing like the sound of that GP38's get up and go as it pulls out of Patchogue Station.
Great video, that must have been a giant camcorder back in 1986.
oh how i miss you man. R.I.P. ✊🏽
I remember seeing these as a kid growing up in Bellport in the 90s, time sure flys
When you are knee-high to a grasshopper and you’re standing on a ground level platform, you can’t help but be in awe!😃😲👍
Finding your Channel this week has been a great treat. The LIRR I grew up with. Thanks for uploading these videos!
Same here, back when locomotives were locomotives.
For a second I thought I was looking at the long hood of one of the GP38's before I realized was a high nose C-420.

Jeez to this day I hear east Northport and reminded of Kaso and Triano.
@@allencollins6031 I know who you're talking about that incident at North Port harbor

6:17 I never saw the two diesels like this before, the SD 60 Diesel Locomotive first, and the FL9 Diesel Locomotive second!!!!

Great vintage!

instablaster.
I'd love to find some surviving FA-2's. Some surviving EMD SW1001s wouldn't be so bad either.
Remember the bar car
like old lirr
Ok, where is the Kings Park Psych Center coal train footage? Please tell me you have something! This is just killer stuff. Thanks for posting.

I rode on that branch on the M1 gas turbine experimental cars on a 1977 ERA fan trip
At 7:00 the last Parlor Car has a marker light out.

Never lived in Patchouge, but took some videos there.
Nice video
Thanks. More to Come
Awesome!
How cool the first patchogue shot signal looks like it's still got an old wishbone gate at the time?
Hey, what type of horn did the FA-1's have?
If I'm Correct Out Of All The 38s 261 & Maybe 271 Are The Only Ones Still Here
261,268,270&271 With nya.
