I listen to this while I am at college when i do my homework. It cures homesickness and helps me focus. I can even feel myself jostling as if I'm rolling past sunnyside yards right now.
its for security no one is allowed near the cab not only for security and because some motorman a few years ago let a passenger operate a train one time too
@@NickyD That's really bad. It would be bad enough if a motorman on the subway did that but an engineer on an actual railroad? Whole different deal with more serious operating standards.

Memories, 60 years I remember playing on the Queens Village station. Standing between the 2 3rd rails. Hiding under the platform and putting a penny on the rail. It was cool to see how flat the penny got after a train rolled over it.
First section of 3rd track is open from Floral Park about 2.5 miles. next section will open soon. When ESA opens in Dec 2022, only M7&M9 cars will operate to GCT. to fill on the shortage of cars to Penn , the mothballed M3’s will fill the gap so you should try to get a vid on one of them operating non stop thru to Hicksville on the new center track.
Thank you so much for the unforgettable memories of traveling from Penn to Ronkonkoma and back. Hewlett to Jamaica etc. I miss those trips very much. When I watch the videos and hear the horn of the train, I got sad. Unfortunately, I had to move to another country. i would also like to watch something like that - from Ronkonkoma or Jamaica to Hampton Bays or Riverhead.
This brings back so many memories. I haven't seen Wyandanch station in 20 years, so this video looks nothing like my memories, but I still have love for my hometown.
I always liked the rail fan videos especially cab rides because during the pandemic for a short time you watch this you feel like you left your house and passes time by
I have traveled in one these trains on the Long Island Rail Road when I was visiting some of my relatives on my visit to New York City and Long Island just about two years ago. Me and my family were visiting my relatives in New York from Miami and we were on Long Island Rail Road. But somehow, it was on a different route from my relatives' house in Baldwin to Penn Station in New York City and back.
Misty fog and rain! Today (Apr 23.2022) we have Foggy Mist, Ice and Snow, with I-94 and indeed all of western North Dakota is closed to traffic. No travel advised.
That was fun to watch, a nice trip. These M3 RFW videos are even cooler now, given we can't make any new ones since the M3 fleet was withdrawn from service.
The next thing after they finish that 3rd track for express trains. They have to replace all the ties with concrete ties so they dont need as much attention.
Tracks around Jamaica really need work. If trains can get in and out of Jamaica like most other stations, I wouldn't be surprised if it saves 10 min for each trip.
The ride between Floral Park and Hicksville looks much different in summer 2021 as the 3rd track project has progressed a lot, almost all of the grade crossings are gone, replaced by bridges.
Hello, that's a great video, despite the foggy weather. Question: Where was this taken, the video? And with which camera? And then some construction sites on the line ... Best regards from Lumi from Germany (Translated with Google translator)
Very high quality video! Realistic, and I like the bare tress, overcast sky, and fog. Cuts down on the glare. Will you complete this magnum opus by filming from KO to GY????
@@TessasDaddy7132 When I said "realistic", I meant this video has none of the common annoying distractions, like shaky camera, zooming, panning, and added "music". The object of a cabride video is to put the audience on the train, and enjoy the ride just as if he/she were actually there.
Excellent video! How exactly are you recording this so steadily? Do you have something just sitting up on the window or are you holding it tightly? Just wondering.
I WISH more newer trains had RFWs so more fantastic videos like this can be made! The M3s will be gone soon and the RFW will be extinct on the LIRR and Metro North
Fine video. The one LIRR segment that's not on UA-cam is a Greenport to Ronkonkoma cab ride (correct me if I'm wrong). I have that on an old VCR tape somewhere, and I'm sure that's copyrighted (and VCR, meaning hell to load up here). Could someone get on a train and film that?
I would need to find a way to get into the cab of either the Locomotive or cab car. These videos are made on the M3 cars that have an open front window.
Understood. The UA-cam cab-ride videos in non-electrified territory are older ones. Someone 15 years ago got into the engine cab somehow and just filmed from there. I have an old Greenport-to-Ronkonkoma VHS tape and should resort to that. If someone has the DVD, it should be possible to upload it.
The LIRR now uses CCTV's on the cabs and engines of the Diesel fleet. Since the MTA is a public entity, I wonder if the front window facing CCTV is available under the information act...
The platform at Pinelawn is only long enough for two cars and because of the crossing on the west end of the station they platform the rear two cars of an eastbound train. So long story short that was the stop at Pinelawn.
I listen to this while I am at college when i do my homework. It cures homesickness and helps me focus. I can even feel myself jostling as if I'm rolling past sunnyside yards right now.
Me Too! 😀
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
I always hated how the newer M7 don't allow anyone to look out the front anymore but I always enjoyed the M3's for allowing this.
its for security no one is allowed near the cab not only for security and because some motorman a few years ago let a passenger operate a train one time too
Guess that means they'll be absolutely no chance of getting video from the new M9's from the front POV either anytime in the future!! 👎👎
Yeah but they have terrible bathrooms I sat next to the bathroom of the M3 they made me puke🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@NickyD That's really bad. It would be bad enough if a motorman on the subway did that but an engineer on an actual railroad? Whole different deal with more serious operating standards.

Best Railroad train ride ever, man! : ) I have to put this video in 2x and baby, this video goes fast at 300 mph while listening to music 24/7.

I ALWAYS LOVED HOW THE M1’s AND M3’s RELEASED. ♥️♥️♥️
I take this line every day. I'd give anything to have this conductor's view. Looking out the side window just isn't the same!
does this train stop at bethpage?
Conductor has the same views you do.. engineers get the view your looking for
Ah, Ronkonkoma is my station. Watching this gives me intense wanderlust. Haven't been to NYC in so long because of the virus :c
I go every week cuz I live. 30 mins away
@@kuerpotino8401 Still gonna wait until (hopefully) this summer just to be safe

Massive track and signal relocations at Harold for the East Side Access project
I am going to miss the M3s I especially like the sound of the horn
That was fun to watch, a nice trip. These M3 RFW videos are even cooler now, given we can't make any new ones since the M3 fleet was withdrawn from service.
You’re in luck they are back in service. Rode one to Jamaica today
I am upstate and the only trains are freight trains and an intercity Amtrak that runs 2-3 times a day, so I really appreciate these
The next thing after they finish that 3rd track for express trains. They have to replace all the ties with concrete ties so they dont need as much attention.
I love the signals, they are sort of a mix between a tri-light signal and a single head signal.
@Kenji Levin They're actually normal position-light signals.
cool to see those storm doors to close off the tunnel.
Is cool to see my neighborhood between 12:20 to 12:50 lol i pass by the overheads walkway bridge all the time
Notice the new track that still has no third rail installed yet, next to the concrete ties.
A lot of new color light signals replacing the old position light signals. However, still tons more to replace before signals are consistent.
Cats01 leaves the PRR signal
Tracks around Jamaica really need work. If trains can get in and out of Jamaica like most other stations, I wouldn't be surprised if it saves 10 min for each trip.
I hope train sim world will add two more trains and a add-on route like this train and the other one that rode pass.
David Mangum there adding the m3s to tsw
My homework is three hours in sunnyside yards right now when it curves himesless and helps me focus.
I miss Long Island so much.
Our moving fast train meets another moving fast train on midclear-tracks
Pinelawn is certainly an interesting station 🤣

Как будто в сон попал... Подобное видел в Германии. Но чтобы вот так!.. И с такими габаритами... Поразительно!
I also saw a double decker at a big station
gsgege
VERY NICE VIDEO !!
This is fairly old. They were still building the Pinelawn Station back then
No more vídeos like this ? I love that !
Would somebody answer the door! The bell is ringing!
That’s the speed control

LOVE IT

Wow... that fog...
What is top speed of these trains and are metro north trains compatible with lirr trains
There were some Nassau Inter Country Express buses too
57:03 is that where they put trains that terminate at Farmingdale?
yes
@@NYCTARailfan alright just wondering
I saw another lirr in the distance
Nice ride, Thanks!
2:07 deja vu intensifys
You couldn't have had worse luck for weather. I definitely enjoy your videos, though!
We stopped at a station and there was already another lirr on the other side
Weren't there, once upon a time at Jamaica Station tracks 9 and 10?
Does the LIRR still allow this to happen? Im going to New Hyde Park on Monday, and would love to do one of these
Saw a regular lirr standing in the middle of nowhere
7:30 That's a lotta school buses
Not really. I know two places in LA that store at least 3-5 times that.
How fast does this train travel?
The max allowed speed on the LIRR is 80
What does the ringing bell indicate? New on here...
That would be the door closing bell
What is the ringing sound about
What are the bells ringing? Just curious.
They ring when the doors open and close, but I'm not sure of the times the ringing happens twice.
I get the the MU Sign tell the engineer where to stop depending on the length of hte train, but what does MU stand for?
Multiple Unit.
I love the Long Island rail road

I even saw freight oil tanker freight cars
How fast do those trains go in those tunnels?
under the east river? track speed is 60
Are there plans to electrify the second track between Pinelawn and Deer Park?
it has been electrified. When this video was filmed the second track had not been completed and was not yet in-service.
Show station names clearly in video, it will makes it more entertaining
Amazing vid
51:02 its weird to see that on one of these videos, i go there almost every day to railfan but idk why its weird seeing it on camera
Wow I didn't know they got rid of the old platform and house at Pinelawn.
They had tooto make way for the second track
NYCTA Railfan ah ok. Makes sense
Ad! how much speed ?
Its just like im playing tsw
yep
YESSSSS! Loved this one.
Coming to TSW 2020 M3's
Great video
Thanks!
How people getting off and on the train after 1:00:00 ?? Because there is no platform x)

Why did you stop in the middle of the tracks at Wyandanch or Pinelawn?
The platform at Pinelawn is only long enough for two cars and because of the crossing on the west end of the station they platform the rear two cars of an eastbound train. So long story short that was the stop at Pinelawn.
It turns out that special train was slowly going past a train garage
And after that I noticed we were racing a lirr doubledeckers
1:10:07 Kool kat soft serve yard!
Couldn't pick a better day for this?
I was commuting and this was the day that I got M3s and the front car was open and the front window was accessible
Speed meet with lirr
I also saw a broken lirr engine
Right through the light?
What other stations did we pass thru? Couldn't read the signs. Did we go thru Carle Place and Westbury?
pause the video when you get closer to see a sign
The M9's are supposed to come out later this year No? Or at least by early 2019 so I heard
Mike C They are now being delivered.
David Ng yeah I see they're in the process of delivery. Just didn't know if they were going to go into service right away or wait a while
