4K/60p: LIRR M3 Front Window Atlantic Terminal to Freeport
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Taken 6/21/23. After Work, paid Brooklyn a visit to meet up with friends for an evening of half price off games at D&B. Mainly, Dance Dance Revolution as we have special Cards that allow us to keep track of scores and participate in tournaments. Around 7:20PM, made my way back to the terminal and the first thing available was #284 to Freeport with M3's. This actually worked out as I was parked in Babylon anyway, so took the opportunity to get another RFW in the books. Enjoy!

I grew up in Freeport and took this same train home when visiting my now wife in Brooklyn, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I'm from Philly and it never ceases to amaze me the differences between our subways and NYC's. Another great video, thank you 👍🏾👊🏾
My condolences. I escaped to the Ozarks twenty years ago, but I DO return now and again...to remind myself why I left in the first place! 😈
LIRR is not a subway, it is a main line railroad.
Nothing quite like an M3 to brighten up one’s day!!!
It would be more accurate to compare LIRR/Metro North to SEPTA Regional Rail. I moved a year and a half ago from Kew Gardens NY, where I had 30-minute headway to Penn Station on weekends to Rydal, PA, where it's 2 hours for a comparable trip to Center City, Philly. To be fair, the NY MTA has since screwed up the Kew Gardens service with its East Sude Access plan, but it's still one-hour headway at each Manhattan terminal. The Center City connector was a great plan but somehow the anticipated "S-Bahn tie service" never materialized.
I'd like to use Regional Rail to the airport this August but I don't think I can wrangle our suitcases onto the train from our low-level platform. Anyone renember low-level platforms?
platforms?
At times it does look like the subway in places but it is the LIRR.
The M3 will always have a special place in my heart because i grew up w/them
16:02 Woodhaven Junction, 16:10 Woodhaven Station (abandoned) to the former Rockaways line now operated by the A train
25:50 various MOW stuff parked on the left
26:30 two abandoned passenger cars on the left. Doesn't look like there's any rail under them.
26:49 abandoned siding on the right to former Naval Hospital coal siding (per Arrt's Archives)
27:59 Wonder why they put that wide space between the tracks. There was never a station there as far as I know.
28:34 Former NY & Rockaway trackage (what we're on) curves left (east) to parallel the former Jamaica & South Shore tracks, now all LIRR. It used to continue straight to Cedarhurst, was abandoned 1880, revived 1904, again abandoned 1919, rebuilt 1927-28, again abandoned 1934 for good. Only remains are some pilings in Hook Creek.
30:57 Far Rockaway branch curves right (south)
31:11 W Hempstead branch (single track) on left
33:26 Long Beach branch on right
Thanks! I was wondering about that old station and tunnels.
There is a sizable gap between East New York and Jamaica; one could argue that Woodhaven Station could return and it wouldn't add too much time to the trip.
27:59 there was a station there once(an island platform)
27:59 abandoned Springfield Gardens station. Thank you for pointing out all these features
I miss riding these trails been in Florida for 23 years nothing no trains except fright train's which I love... Been riding L. I. R. R. FOR 30 YEARS...., GREAT VIDEO, JOE
Grew up in a NYC Subway and transit fan in Bergen County NJ. Long Island is a whole different world to me despite living on opposite sides of the same City. This is the 1st time I’ve “ridden” this line; the entire LIRR is a mystery to me!!Thanks for these trips, since I may never ride the LIRR.
Sir, make it your MISSION to ride the LIRR, you'll LOVE it!
Same 😂 I haven’t rode the LIRR in so many years fr. I just usually take the subway to get around ngl. The LIRR to me is a train line that’s an outlier in NYC haha 😂
Long Island Stand up! Is love to see other entire train lines, especially the Oyster Bay, & Ronkonkona lines
Long live the Electro-Pneumatic Interlocking and Pennsy Position Light dwarf! This has to be the clearest and sharpest video I have ever seen from an M3!
Love this! I've been a huge train fanatic all my life, trips to the city on the train have always been a stress reliever. Seeing the entire trip from Atlantic terminal, which was previously called Flatbush Ave is a real treat. I hope I can find other entire cab view trips, maybe Penn Station to Ronkonkona in Suffolk county where I live
You are definitely the MrMaster!
You keep posting them!
I'll keep clicking them!
Superb job as always!
Keep them coming!
Thanks. Will do!
Jamaica's a big station! I've been to Jamaica, NYC and it's such awesome place abeilt only a short few days before flying back to England. Love the MTA rides!
7:23 on right is never used junction with the PP&CI, the Prospect Park and Coney Island. The PP&CI was once owned by the LIRR; it was the route the LIRR used to access Coney Island in the steam age. By 1904 when the LIRR electrified the tracks between Flatbush and Jamaica and tunneled or elevated it’s Brooklyn line the old PP&CI was sold to the Brooklyn elevated lines, the northern part now known as the Franklin Ave Shuttle. The underground junction was roughed in on case the LIRR wanted to renew their access to Coney Island.
Cool!
lirr should go back to coney island and prospect park it can relieve or run on certain hours
You sure about that? The PP&CI was further west, at McDonald Avenue, and eventually became the BRT's Culver Line; it was elevated around 1918 (?) and the ground level track became part of the South Brooklyn RR. LIRR's connection to that was from the Kensington Jct at McDonald and Avenue I, where the ShopRite is now.
The line that went to Franklin Ave was the Brooklyn, Flatbush & Coney Island, that is now the Brighton Line; south of Avenue H it was once a six track right of way, with four BRT/BMT tracks (still there) and two LIRR/Manhattan Beach RR tracks on the east side of the embankment. Those two tracks were replaced with houses, but you can still see the old stairs going up to the site of the LIRR station at Gravesend Neck Rd station. See "Arrt's Arrchives" (sic) for more info on this and all other aspects of LIRR history.
nice sharing✨
excellent video🤗
Thanks!
Another Trip out of Brooklyn TY Sir.
My pleasure!
Interlocking at Jamaica Ave is always the best view!
It's like a maze when you look at it lol.
always beautiful video MrMaster!! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A nice relaxing ride. Thanks! :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
nice clear window thank you
I’m excited 😊
Love it 👍
Thank you!
*21:28*
*all those slip crossovers, turnouts, diamonds ..my favorite part*
Wow wonderful high definition view bro
Indeed!
Im from California and the LIRR is so different from other railroads throughout the USA.
Thanks for the great video. It might have been nice for the announcer/conductor to say "Thank You for riding the Long Island Railroad" at the last stop in Freeport.
in all my years of riding back in the 80/90's and 2000's they've never said it, it was always that "make sure you get your crap and get off the train" jazz and yes it was modified because despite watching the vid I couldn't remember it word for word lmao
The LIRR is pretty well covered front window wise by several producers but there seems to be nothing for Metro North.
Great lighting
Dude, you should've taken the Acela south to D.C. S8nce I've got friends and family from Philly to D.C., anytime I go to visit them I jump on Amtrak regional or Acela. Only certain sections is track is Acela designated for super high speed, and than not north of NY. Those sections is track are from
NY-DC. Now THAT'S the train you need to be on is your looking to get somewhere by train fast
Me like, me like!
Play this at 2x speed and it looks just like a European railway!
Thank you for sharing this this video is pretty awesome. We definitely love this experience. 🫡
I put a lot of time and effort into these kind of videos. I'm glad everyone still supports the M3s!
When I rode the train out of Atlantic Terminal there was no catwalks on the trestle over Atlantic Ave. You looked out the window and saw nothing below. Kinda weird!
Splendid stuff. Is any part of the line covered by CBTC? There does seem to be some longish sections so I wondered if there is any in cab signalling overlaying the conventional lights on sticks?
Cheers.
That was my 2nd home for many years (Brook Tower) I cut my teeth there
I always wonder what the freight elevators at the end of the platforms at Jamaica are for?
Any special reason for running left-hand when first starting out? I was wondering if maybe one of the crossovers nearer Atlantic was temporarily out of service, perhaps?
Possibly.
Is this the Long Beach Branch?
21:32 if you just went straight where would that take you to?
To the Atlantic branch
@@MrMaster767 oh cool
It would be nice to add all the stations, stopped at or not, disused and passed by, up in print when each one is reached. Noise and accents harm a good program on this issue.
LIRR Is just a suburban subway system.
What is the top speed on the LIRR? And of course this one looks like 70-75 mph am I correct?
80 in 3rd Rail territory. 65 in non 3rd Rail territory
Do all trains have the front window access ?
Only M3s for other trains you have to have permission from the crews (most are gonna say no )
Sadly, nope. From what I understand, it is only the M3's that do have the 1/2 size cabs that lets the public get an RFW aka front window access. Thats one of the many reasons why railfans love the older M3 trains.
M3's only. It also comes down to who you know. Some say yes, some say no. Gotta know the right people.
@@BrianMonroe cheers. well im coming over from UK in jan will hunt these down for sure. Nice one !
@@MrMaster767 ok. excellent video ! LOVE IT ! i just made one on my channel - DLR light train london.. was a lot of fun
Is this a new locomotive engineer? Just outstanding 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nope. Not qualified nor have interest in doing so. A Senior guy was actually running this.
