Thanks for representing Long Island and its RR!
Here's some history about the LIRR EMD DE30ACs and the EMD DM30ACs as well as the Kawasaki C3 bi-level coaches.
The Kawasaki C3 bi-level coaches: They were introduced in 1997 to replace the old C1 bi-level coaches. 23 were converted to C3 Cab Cars for push-pull service. The numbers were #5001-5023 when delivered. All came equipped with two chime Leslie RS2Ms.
The EMD DE30AC: They were introduced in 1998. LIRR ordered 23 units which were #400-422 when first delivered.
DE: Diesel Electric
30: 3,000 horsepower
AC: Alternating Current
The EMD DM30AC: They were introduced in 1999 to run alongside the DE30ACs. LIRR ordered the same number of units but they were #500-522 when delivered. It is kinda similar to Amtrak's and Metro North's GE P32AC-DMs.
DM: Dual Mode (can go from diesel operation to third rail operation since it has third rail pickup shoes)
30: 3,000 horsepower
AC: Alternating Current
LIRR's DE30ACs and DM30ACs replaced the aging EMD GP38-2s, the passenger serviced EMD MP15ACs, the EMD FL9s, and the ALCo FAs. They first had their horns on the roofs but were later moved to above the cabs. Most locomotives came equipped with Nathan K5LLs. Others came equipped with K5LAs and K5LLAs.
Of the 46 locomotives LIRR has on their roster, 45 are still in use. The one that was taken out of service was DM30AC #503, which was damaged in an accident in Huntington, New York on October 23, 2000. It hit a shopping cart on the tracks, in which the shopping cart shorted out the third rail while being dragged down the tracks, causing #503 to catch fire. There were no injuries or deaths in the accident. However, #503 was so damaged that it would cost LIRR way too much money to fix it. For over 17 years, it sat in LIRR's Morris Park Facility being stripped for spare parts. In July 2018, #503 was scrapped.
Also, in 2013, DM30AC #507 suffered an electrical cabinet failure, but LIRR couldn't lose another locomotive after what happened with #503. It was saved by having its third rail pickup shoes removed, being converted to a DE30AC, was renumbered to #423, and returned to service.
Despite the two incidents, the locomotives are still very reliable and still operate as of 2019.
I hope you return to Long Island soon! This was a great video!
Bro ur so good at writing alot!
0:59 K5LLA? Nice video!
Yup! Thanks!
I love those weird LIRR engines, they’re so unique. You never see them on any other railroad and they have such a zephyr-like vibe to them
Yeah, they're really neat!
In my opinion, the trains look a bit ugly they aren't like the Good Ol fashioned g38 or EMD e9 locomotives that used to run on the line, pulling Pullman cars up and down the main line along with the mp15 switcher locomotives
@@itskevinjustkevin Yeah, honestly, I'm not a huge fan of them. Awkward noses.

Same
Curious fact: The LIRR once was propety of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Steam locomotives of the PRR ran in the Long Island Rail Road, and even the logo of the LIRR was a modification of the PRR's logo, with the reporting mark of the Long Island Rail Road instead of the Pennsylvania RR!!!!!
Good thing you were able to catch an M3 in one of these clips. Those things are both incredibly and increasingly scarce, and in the next few years, they're all sadly gonna be razor blades.
Yeah, I was happy to see those too. Glad I got them because I'm not sure I'll be back before they're gone unfortunately.
Yeah, I really like the M3s, and I honestly think they're underappreciated too.
Nice job railfanning on the island! The diesels are so much better than those M7 trains.
Thanks! And yes, I really do think the diesel hauled trains are more interesting to see than the M7s. The scenery is nicer farther out on the island too.
Plus since the Metro North also uses M7s it makes them less special
For me I don’t care as long as 1 its fast and 2 it’s an Mta train preferably lirr
Very interesting. The LIRR is a fascinating operation. EMUs and DE30s with great horns. Back in the 80s and 90s, they used to use switchers top 'n tail on commuter sets. Never a dull era on the Island. Great post!
Thanks! Yes, the LIRR is a very interesting railroad.
The K5lla form the SD70 Ace are my favorite train horn on the DM30AC!!!!
I can’t wait for the rest of the east coast videos
There should be another one next month!
If you listen at 2:39, you can hear the k5la sound exactly the same as CDTX's 6965 and 8312 horn.
Ah, #416..
Once called the “King K5LA” and is now fouled to hell!
Joop
Sounds like Amtrak
My favorite is at 4:44 with the push pull rock train using end cab switchers
Even with the K5LA that sounds like Amtrak!
revisit Massachusetts again! we have a new locomotive, the HSP-46 and soon the SC-44 charger!
NO!
I live in Long Island too and i couldn't had meet you
MTALongIsland RailRoad Production do you live on the south shore?
G. Lee no
I'm sure I will be back at some point. This was actually filmed last year, so it wasn't recently.
@@CoasterFan2105 you should come back. there are new trains now
i like long island railroad trains
Back to the old 3751 logo, huh? I like it.
You'll see it reappear every once in a while! Thanks for watching!
It sounds like the DE30AC's use a special Variant of the K5LA and K5HL!
The signle car EMUs sound like those on the LA Metrolink and many export locomotives!
The cab car horns sound a lot like the horns on the Indian Railways WDG4 locomotives! Especially at 3:40!
You are correct. The DE30s use an assortment of K5LAs, K5LLs. and K5LLAs. The cab cars and EMUs use two chime Leslie RS2Ms.
The cabcars use a Nathan K13B; it plays the same notes as an RS2M would. The cabcars were originally delivered with RS2Ms, but didn’t do well on solenoids; they were replaced by the K13Bs.
Yes thank you for this video
You're welcome, Ethan! Thanks for watching!
Are the cars and that locomotive type exclusive there?
Yes
0:31 does anyone know what this local motive name is
Five nights at Freddy’s Virtual reality De30
FREDDY D40LF EMD DE30AC
It's a DE30AC, built by Electro-Motive Works in the late 1990's to replace the LIRR's aging fleet of MP15AC's,GP38-2's, and P72's for passenger revenue service.
They have horrible horns in that area. The only good one was that K5LLA. What was your favorite One?
I really liked that K5LLA. Some of the other K5 horns on the DE30s are pretty good too.
Excellent coverage of the Long Island railroad! Haven’t really seen the Long Island railroad too much on UA-cam, so I am very happy you took me on a tour of this line.
Thank you! From what I have seen now, the LIRR is a pretty hard railroad to photograph. A lot of tight clearances, so it's hard to get a really nice, unobstructed view. I worked around it as much as I could and I am happy with the results.
Awesome video! I love that shot at 7:00 of the two trains passing each other!
The cool thing about this train (in my view) is that it is the locomotive is different than the other locomotive designs.
Edit: I think I was wrong XD
JemSkie Studios you’re probably right. I don’t know of any other railroad that uses DM locos pulling C3 cars
Although M7s are also used on the Metro North
Yeah, the DE30s are pretty unique!
There’s a place in Babylon called the Conklin house which is a great place for Montauk branch trains departing and arriving in Babylon as well as Babylon Branch trains going to and from the Babylon Yard. The angle of viewing the trains is great
I'll have to take a look at that next time I'm on Long Island.
CoasterFan2105 cool. Maybe I’ll catch you there
Those trains look very fast!!!
Some of them are pretty fast!
David Arturo Jaimes Yes they are. 80 MPH is the MAS for the electrics. 65 MPH is the MAS for the Diesels.
They are...it took me a minute to get from penn station NY to woodside!
MetroNorth are also fast going from GCT to New Haven lines
Awesome video, Mike! So much action and lots of great locations... sweet catch on the work train, too!
Thanks, Kyle! The LIRR is a really interesting railroad and I would love to explore more of it at some point. I didn't even know they had those "Scoots" on the Oyster Bay branch until I saw your video a week or two ago!
Hi I like your train videos
Thanks, Kelly!
I like your videos! You are the BEST
And good luck MIKE
Awesome video Mike!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Do the d.c metro
That sounds like a good idea!
very cool. I wish we had trains around us like 97
infact, 1997 actually had the more interesting trains due to more trains were actually in service back then.
2:40 It's looks like amtrak california horn from loud train video
You're right!
Em Grace that was a King K5LA on 416 but now he had a Fouled K5LA
FINALLY!
I’ve never knew there were more than 2 types of The LIRR. Great shots and Great Video!
Ali Muhammad Yeah, I only know the M7 Model and the DE30AC/DM30AC Cab Model!
Ali Muhammad Well, They look pretty old, so, maybe that’s why that Model is being slowly retired.
Ali Muhammad Are there any left in use currently?
Thank you! I believe there are still a number of M3 sets still running but not for long. The first of the new cars have just been delivered.
CoasterFan2105 Cool!
Awesome! Please make more Virginia Railway Express videos!
Thanks! VRE is on the list!
Thanks! VRE is my local commuter rail, so I'd be happy to see that.
LIRR on Coaster’s channel. Who would have thought? Quick question though, since you’ve already done a video here on Long Island, would you ever consider coming back? [I know you had trips planned in 2019 but it never hurts to ask :) ] Love the videos!
Well, now that I'm going to 4K, there's an even higher chance of it. I will probably revisit a lot of the places I've been over the next several years.
CoasterFan2105 Your should come to Long Island, we have a new M9 train
Nice 👍 shots
Thanks!
Great catch on a local RR! I liked it!!! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
The horns on the M3 and M7 electric units sound almost identical to the horns on the DFT and DC class diesel locomotives we have in New Zealand.
It's still a great and interresting video! Thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video mike
Thank you!
I used to live right by a Long Island Train station and so this video is so Nostalgic!
0:54 Cool horn
This is a very nice collection of trains, great video
Bruce Alarcon LIRR is awesome
Great view of trains
Great video! I live near Long Island and see these trains a lot. Have you also seen New York and Atlantic Railway trains?
train
Thanks! Yes, I saw one of them. It's in my "East Coast Trains" video that came out last June.
Very well done 👍
Thanks!
Mike is back at it again with the awesome east coast train videos
0:55 nice K5LLA horn!
Love the shot and horn at 0:54
I love the Long Island rail road!
Cool local freight at 4:43! Is the locomotive from CSX? Again, cool freight train!
Awesome that you got to capture the train that goes behind my house!
Thank You big Mike Armstrong
Thanks for railfaning my railroad Mike great jobs once again with the wonderful shots!
Excellent Work!
They actually have those double decker cars on the metro north m they are REALLY rare.
Well done Mike beautiful video!!!
You are the Steven Spielberg of train videos.
Here comes the train!
I like your channel!!
Nice! I remember riding the Long Island Railroad whatever I visit New York.
Thanks, Alan!
Me too but now i live in connecticut
What is the url to the video in the intro where the coaster and Santa Fe 4-8-4?
Probably the best place to find it is in the original Passenger Trains Galore.
As Absolutely unique the engines are (the de/dm30ac’s) I have herd first hand from LIRR maintenance personnel that they are a matnence nightmare and have been plagued with electrical issues from the beginning...
4:45 Nice catch! Great video! :)
I plan on riding the LIRR in July sometime
Nice Video!
Great video. It was very pleasant to see.
I LOVE this! Thanks so much for making! :)
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting and watching :)
No problem!
Yo I from Long Island Ny good video dude!
At 5:07, how come water was dripping out of the train car?
Ali Muhammad oh okay
Probably letting out human waste
Great video nice job keep it up
Thanks, I will!
I'm a Long Island native. Some of the locations I could identify, others not. Would have been nice to identify locations, also include NY and Atlantic freight trains on the LIRR.
Second of fourth
Awesome! You should try coming back because now we have the new M9s!!!
amazing
LIRR Engines look like they would belong to a Aussie railway company.
The south shore of the LIRR is more interesting I’d say. It is all elevated. Nice video!
Nice and the Best.....
Bruce Alarcon LIRR is amazing
nice video
Thanks!
Entertainment Worldz ‘
Awesome Video Mike
The only county I live in Long Island, New York is Nassau County, I'm very surprising how you made a great montage video out of Long Island Railroad trains, well done!
Where you going next
My next trip is coming up in just over a week. I will be posting a little more info on the community tab soon and I am planning on making a few posts during the trip on Instagram.
answer please. where was the first train at?
Don't understand why the DE30ACs and the C3's aren't used on Metro-North. The Harlem Line in particular could've used this setup because of how short the platforms are at most of their stations between North White Plains and Southeast.
What type of horn does that train have
331st 👍
Correct me if I’m wrong but the first video with the DE 30 was that taken in Montauk correct me if I’m wrong
So many trains. How many did you see?
Make a video of texan trains
Thanks! I will eventually!
I love you video I was looking I found
I used to live in long island and i know some of these crossings
whats with all the horn blowing and bell ringing?
4:44
my favourite train is m7 train
Plzzz make a video on Indian railway
I would really like to film some of the railways of India some day!
Beware the crowds on the trains
Why do they have PRR signaling
My hometown
You should come back we have new m9 emus.
Shinkansen is the best!!!
