- Project 39 fantrip. It went from Jamaica to Long Island City onto West Hempstead, Montauk and return.Took most of my video out east. Not to many people had video cameras back then. Happy the tapes held up. Couldn't shoot too much footage since I was riding on the train but spliced together some of the finer moments of the trip. Crank up the volume... the sound is excellent.
I've seen 151 just last week. It is now owned by NY&A Freight service and was at the Lumber yard in Yaphank.
I never saw those two diesels like that, when I was little back when we first moved out to Long Island back in 1997
I just read that there was a similar project 39 fan trip using 2 C420s, 222, and 229 with 6 cars and 619 on it. June 7, 1986.
It's an MP-15
It's the west end of Amagansett station. Yes the camera was big and heavy but I always bought the best quaility tapes and they have held up very well over the years.
awesome video, always looking for more of these, before those soulless engines took over they use now
Got That Right
The cars were P70s, or as I used to call them, rolling piles of crap. They still used them until 1999, but they had rusted so badly you could actually see the rails through holes in the vestibule floor. A/C never worked, sometimes lights didn't work, no PA, people smoked in the vestibules, doors never closed... ah, good times.
Southampton station looks different without the raised platform
Exactly 11 months- I was born on 1/15/86
619 is an F7. It has no traction motors because it supplies the cars with electrical. That's why there are no side vents on the unit....
1986 the year the Mets won the World Series champions of baseball at Shea stadium in flushing queens
had a good year in 86... Carter, Hernandez, Strawberry, Gooden, Darling, to name a few
LGFM!
What kind of horn was that at the 2:00 mark on the MP15AC? Sounded like a Nathan P5, correct me if I'm wrong.
what ever happened to LIRR with the Control cab FA's and Converted F units,a nd the old cars? why did LIRR get rid of them and do they still do fan trips, The LIRR is shurly missed I wish they had the old stuff again.
So Do I
4:55 I saw those two diesels before
If you notice, some cars are higher than others. Well the higher ones are called P72s and were made by Pullman in 1955. The shorter ones were called P75s and came in 1963. These were known as World's Fair cars for the 1964 fair. these even had pneumatic doors-they were loud!
what kind of diesel is 619? i wish they still used trains that looked like that. all the new ones a boring as hell.
Definitely True
They use them as work trains now.
At the 6:41 mark...what station was that?
Also, for something from 1986...it looks like it was shot RECENTLY! You must've had a helluva Super-VHS Stereo camcorder that weighed as much as a toddler!
@tacoemall666 #619 is an EMD F7
good video
Ive never seen this passenger cars on american trains. What series???
I was a mere 11 months old!
Are those switcher locomotives?
Yes, MP-15-AC
@@mrjv61 that's so strange. Aren't they too slow?
How do you get on a fantrip?
Love the nostalgia but those train cars were so DIRTY! **cough** **cough**
When did 39 move? It was in Riverhead for a long time.
An electric locomotive!!! YIKES!!!! 😂😅🤣😆😄😃😁😀
0:56 the coach with the red marker means it is the Connecticut State coach
No, it is an LIRR parlor
