    How i miss this train. I lived in Port Washington(Main St.and Manorhaven) from may 1998 to december 2009. Today i live in Brazil again. In my days off i traveled to NY by train in the morning and back after 8 PM, off-peak time. I hope to visit my friends in Port Washington this year and take the train again. Great video!!

      I live to go over the high Trestle on the Port Line. When you arrive at the station, you can get off and walk toward the exit and there is a great Japanese restaurant on the right hand side. I hope you've tried it.
      I live in Ecuador.

    As a Sydneysider I think nyc subway has opportunity to be very classy like moscow or Sydney. The station platforms are very dirty and old, but it’s a big network and I’m sure the mta could probably afford to upgrade the stations and make them as nice as the ones in Sydney. Here in Sydney all of our stations have shelter and the platforms are all kept clean

    I was born train-insane. I was raised in Roslyn and when we didn't ride the Oyster Bay line into Penn Station (Change at Jamaica) we would ride the Port line. Edna St. Vincent Milay actually got this line from me: "There isn't a train I wouldn't ride, no matter where it's going".
    Now I'm old and near the end of the line and I live in Ecuador. I still "ride" the DJ Hammer trains to quell my train jones whenever I get the calling. The memories are too many to recount.

    They need to add a second track to the end. If right of way is the issue (I see some houses very close to the single track), they should just go above as the 7 train does in some parts of queens.

      It’s mostly because I heavily post process the footage to reduce noise. That increases the processing time to around a week, and uploading a 200GB video file takes quite a while too. I’ll do my best to get to it! Lots of videos coming up soon.

      @acegarr22 5 років тому +5

      The whole line is electrified for using third rail so there is no need for diesel trains to go through. Furthermore, there are lots of bridges on the line where a double decker car is to tall to go through.

    • @rontroy3843
      @rontroy3843 5 років тому +2

      It is about 40 miles from Penn to East Northport. Fastest train of the day is scheduled for 62 minutes (though once I saw it do it in 50 minutes without breaking a sweat. Worst train of the day with transfer takes about 90 minutes - less than 30 MPH. I try to imagine what it would be like to have the train do it in say, 40 minutes. But for GCT travelers, it will never be decent because LIRR knowingly bought double deckers 20 plus years ago that would never fit in the 63rd Street LIRR tunnel to GCT. Oh, and LIRR does not seem to intend a viable transfer from diesels to GCT.

      Yes, the line is single tracked east of Great Neck. Double tracking this section will be very difficult due to the terrain and soil condition neighboring the Manhasset Viaduct

    • @rontroy3843
      @rontroy3843 5 років тому +1

      @@kkparis Does that cause problems or bottlenecks? Seems to me far enough out to not make that much of a difference. And why some trains only go to GN. Though I'm guessing more would go all the way if it wasn't for the single tracking.

    • @kkparis
      @kkparis 5 років тому

      Ron Troy
      The single track works but is far from optimal. PW is a more or less a yard. The trains feeds into the yard (PW) at night and drains out at the morning. But that means the line will halt to a stand still during disruptions, which is why some trains turn short at GN. It’s also very wasteful for the fleets cuz many times they have to sit in the yard as there is no way out.
