LIRR Train #564, leaving Penn Station at 1816 for Oyster Bay, is paired with LIRR Train #501, which arrived Penn Station from Oyster Bay at 0635, Monday through Friday. These are the two trains I am aware of that make the round trip using Dual Power locomotives and Duplex cars.
They can fit in the tunnels considering that New Jersey Transit's Multi-level units go through those tunnels from the yard. I don't think there is any service from Penn Station at all, most, if not all service regarding those cars come from Hunterspoint Station in Long Island City. I think I know which video you are talking about. I just cant remember who had it.
There are two kinds of those diesel trains. Those that run on diesal only (400s) and those that can switch between diesel and 3rd rail power (500s). Those that can switch can and do enter penn station via the tunnels. But I do not think they go out that far east very often. They're mostly 400s/diesel only and a transfer is required to/from an electric train.
@danielklee92 there are trains that run just from Penn to Jamaica? didnt know that. I thought all trains stopping at Jamaica after departing Penn had a destination that was east of Jamaica.
Great video! I'm a little confused though and please don't make fun lol - the large double decker diesel trains that run on the Montauk Branch and the ones that go to Greenport on the Ronkonkoma Branch, do they have service to Penn Station and use the East Side Tunnels or not? I heard that they can't fit in the tunnels but I could have sworn I saw a video of a double decker LIRR train at Penn Station.
8:50 - 9:05 can really hear a flat spot on a wheel. Even more fun to ride in a car seated right over a wheel with a flat spot - was once on a Metro-North M2 bar car, seated right over the wheels [and on the side with a nice flat spot] - felt like I got a butt massage every time we slowed down for a station stop. 0_o
Why so many lights in the tunnel? I mean, the train has its own light, and nobody else is going to be in the tunnel 99.9% of the time, right? That's a LOT of electricity and upkeep.
This is one of the first ever M3 cars delivered. The M1 cars stopped at 9770. NICE CATCH!

There's always that one guy in each car who friggin' won't stop talking the entire trip.

@danielklee92 But what was its final stop? All branches (excluding port Washington) take this path when traveling from Penn to Jamaica.
Great Video You Should Make More Buh On m-3's ! :)

5*****, BRAVO !!!
Great!!!
can you do more window views? for some reason this makes me super sleepy
That was a good video
Awesome tunnel footage! Too bad it was nightime; the exit from the tunnel would have been more dramatic.
what branch was this on
I thought I knew all of the signal aspects. Flashing yellow over red?
Advance Approach

I've always wanted to look out front with my camera
this one was going to Long Beach. The video ends in Jamaica
@smiauu I hope you are not a locomotive engineer :P
Jamaica
City Terminal Zone
Most at night, disappointed
