  • I was lucky enough to catch this while I was doing business in Amityville and I had planned to go into the city today anyway.  i parked my car and hopped aboard this train here. The Autumn color still looks good as we speed west to NY. All stations, signals, signal indications, interlockings, and passing trains are identified.

    Amityville: My father's hometown! He can still rattle off the station stops by heart, including the dramatic "Baaaabbylon!!!" flourish at the end.

    Great video, I was lucky enough to get M3s from Babylon heading into work yesterday morning, the fall foliage always looks great against a grey sky, especially from trains that look like a wood paneled 1970s/80s den inside

    I take great joy watching these videos and reliving my youth traveling the LIRR rails (pre-electric) with my dad many decades ago. Such great memories.
    I'm hoping to get back into model railroading in the coming years, post retirement.
    Thank you!

    29:43 looks like the Hall expansion project is in full swing! The main plan is to increase throughput of Jamaica station and prevent the slowing down for exactly what you experienced when the Port Jeff train cut in front of you.

    Another great video! You've upped your game with the text overlays (or whatever they're called). Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Whether you have a kid or grandkid helping you I'm impressed. My sister, the last surviving family member to live in NYC or the metro area, moved from Amityville to Charlotte, NC in 2020. For the first time in a century there isn't a patch of dirt flying the family name. I expect I'll ride the LIRR again. I grew up in GC on the Hempstead Branch. I tease my sister that once we left, NY got it together- they fixed LGA and the long running fever dream of East-side Access came to fruition. That alone is worth a ride. Your calm and informative narratives are great. Cheers
    PS- how do you know what equipment is covering a run? Is there an online resource or do you have a buddy in the operations side?
