- On the early morning of Friday, January 20, 2023, MTA Long Island Railroad made some unusual moves as Bombardier M7s heading out to be scrapped. Bracketed by a pair of EMD built MP15s, first the cars were taken over the Lower Montauk Line, where LIRR does make occasional appearances along with tenant and freight operator New York & Atlantic Railway, but never with electric MU cars as the line is not third rail powered. Then after passing the through the Fresh Pond Yard, the cars headed through the East New York Tunnel and continued down the Bay Ridge Line to the New York New Jersey Rail 65 Street Yard where very few appearances by any LIRR operated power are known to have occurred since NYAR took over the operation in 1997. These cars have been deemed irreparably damaged in an accident and will be loaded to go by barge and then back to rail to their final resting place.

My dad worked for the LIRR for 23 years back in in the 60's and 70's. He took me a number of times with him on the MA-8 run. Some of my happiest memories! Thanks for posting this!
thanks for this, that's a rare power move we don't normally see
Love that at 12:43 , that black tarp looking thing goes under the wheels and they both look up at the guy in the cab and he's like "whatever bruh"
What a shame even though these cars were damaged beyond repair it's still sad to see them go. I could even still see the advertisement posters inside some of the cars, so sad.
Wow I can’t believe the M7s are being retired now. Truly an end of an era 😢
The M7s are not being retired as a class, as described in the caption, these cars are being scrapped because of irreparable damage from an accident
Nice catch!
Good footage
Wow that was hottttt!!!! In the background I saw a couple of NY/NJ rail engines. At the right times you can catch these engines moving freight cars doing some live street running in Brooklyn adjacent to the Brooklyn naval base. Big trains running right down the middle of the street in that area sharing the road and streets with cars, trucks and buses. It’s so cool to see. But timing is everything, you really have to get lucky to see it happening. I am pretty sure that it doesn’t run everyday. But if you can catch it, it is a BIG DEAL for rail fans.
Looks like some subways cars in the distance are awaiting the same fate.
Yup. Retired R32s in the distance.
Are those LIRR M7 cars the ones that got damaged permanently out of service Yes or No
Yes they are getting scrapped
This was an amazing catch. Do you know how those cars got damaged and if they ordered new ones?
7044 collided with a work train in 2016.
7553 ran through the bumper at Atlantic Terminal in 2017
7425 was involved in a grade crossing collision in 2019 and was sliced open by the platform at Westbury.
@@hankeisenstein272 Thank you for that!
Didn’t the LIRR use these trains for spare parts? I saw these M7s in Arch Street Yard where they have been sitting for a couple of years
That's 3 of the 6. Any idea where the other 3 came from?
@@dapperdonny4051 They did, but there's two issues with it; first, you can only take so many spares; second, there's a liability issue is a part from a wreck damaged unit is used in another unit, and causes an issue that results in injury.
May I ask how they got damaged?
The first few were damaged back in 2016 from when they hit a work train and one other hit the platform at Old Westbury and another one crashed into the bumper block at Atlantic Terminal
The end of the line for these Bombardier M7s. They were wrecked and are gonna get scrapped. Save some of these EMUs for preservation LIRR. :(
Start the work.
