Happy 190th! I've been using this railroad for my entire life as it's the very railroad that got me into trains. Best wishes for the future! (And maybe you can make a heritage livery or wrap for the 200th anniversary?)
Thanks for that. From the day he emigrated to the US to the day he retired, my Dad rode the LIRR to work and back every day. Growing up, I rode it every time I wanted to go into the City, and again every time I visited after leaving home.
And eventually more LIRR projects will be done, such as electrification between Huntington-Port Jeff, reactivation of Lower Montauk branch and many more!
Happy Happy 190th Birthday LIRR! I just feel so privileged to be able to ride it on Long Island. And by the way, I just love the background music around the 2:45 mark!

Great, now merge operations and cooperate with NJT to provide through-running service with Penn Station’s existing infrastructure. Your ego, protectionism and state failure to cooperate are the only barriers
Yeah, at age 7 I was up there on a family vacation and wanted to see a steam locomotive. You still had #39 in service, I found out later. Why couldn’t you have run it through Southampton?
Why would the LIRR, ever be conceived as being the fastest way from NYC to Boston? 0:30 When a track up the New England (land) coast would obviously the quickest way to Boston. It’s almost 200 years after, and we still don’t have a bridge from Long Island to Connecticut. Why would a train (and a ferry) ever be considered the fastest way to Boston.
@@captainkeyboard1007 Speaking of this, when a station is made accessible or is already accessible, its platforms should all be level with the train floor to allow safe wheelchair boarding.

Only if the world lasts that long
Could have showed at least one GP-38 hauled train in the mix. The most reliable locomotives LIRR ever had.
Happy 190th Anniversary to the LIRR!🥳
I See LIRR trains pass by every minute or so,happy 190th anniversary LIRR!

Happy 190 LIRR and thank you to all who have ran it running and will do so..awesome video and narration

Is there even any demand for lower Montauk again
For God’s sake YOU HAVE LOCOMOTIVES THAT CAN GET YOU TO PENN STATION ALREADY

The LIRR is the oldest operating railroad still under its original charter from what I read.
Happy 190th B-day! It's amazing to see how far the LIRR has come.
Great Video but you could probably do a 3 hour in-depth documentary on the LIRR’s History!

The LIRR Needs To Put A Second Track Between Patchouge And Montauk If They Put 2 Tracks On The Ronkonoma Line Means They Need It On The Montauk Line
At 1:44 That's got to be Bay Ridge Branch.

It’s between New York State 25 northern blvd and route27sourhern boulevard
Awesome I love The Long Island Rail Road Danger The Third Rail Carry's 750 Volts DC At 1000 Ampers Wich Can Be Fatal Keep Away
The current is actually 15,000 amps. I'm not sure as to the date when the voltage was increased from 600, though....
To celebrate this, train sim world 4 is also going to release!!

Who the hell wants to go from NJ to Long Island. There’s not nearly enough demand to justify the high cost of such a project
@@nathanielcoleman5694 Several passengers already do; they just hafta transfer to other trains to do so.

Imagine Long Island with high speed rail
You don't need HSR on tiny L.I. 100mph trains are fine as is.
@@TheMrPeteChannel we can do better then 100mph

Should the MTA get a new sticker for 200th anniversary beginning next year until 2034?
I thought Jersey Central Lines used the first diesel?
Not for mainline service....
Time to extend all the short platforms to full-length, so passengers don’t have to pay attention to which car they enter to get off at such stations.
Also, raised platforms may be made to discourage people from being close to the tracks.
